I presume that you are implying that the Beatles did not write any

Not the Beatles, please, not the Beatles! The most over-rated group in

Please give examples of under-rated groups in the history of music.

Because any coward can just appear and fire off personal hatred of



bands they don't like without daring to reveal their favourites, for



fear of getting the same treatment they like to give out.



David Accles. Dylan, Sad Cafe, Kiki Dee. It's an opinion, not a personal hatred; in my opinion the Beatles are over-rated. In my opinion most classical music is boring.

Opinion - a belief or judgement that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.

A personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
