There was a kid in my middle school who loved the Beatles so much that he adopted a british accent. We made fun of that little fag and listened to cooler stuff like SOAD and Lamb of God

The white album is the one with the paul is dead track "I'm so tired".

The white album contains a few references to Paul's death, yes: the gibberish at the end of I'm so tired, Glass Onion ("the walrus WAS Paul," not IS Paul), and several clues in Revolution #9. But the most profound stuff is in Sgt Pepper, look it up on YouTube. And John even admitted it on How do you sleep at night- "Those freaks were right when they said you was dead!" RIP Paul McCartney mk1, dead in a car accident in 1966.

I also have a theory that Brian Epstein killed himself because of it, but I can't prove it. John definitely struggled with it... speaking of, look up "Paul's" infamous reaction to the news of John's death "Uh, it's a drag, yeah?"

the beatles were great in their time. they were the most famous, best-selling pop band of their time and rather than playing it safe they began experimenting with their sound, and their experiments were largely successful.

there's a chart that has the #1 singles by year and the contrast is really stark between pre-beatles and post-beatles pop. before, it's all basically sappy doowop that hasn't stood the test of time at all. after, it's the kind of song structures we typically associate with contemporary music. the beatles facilitated that transformation. of course many bands came along and perfected those ideas, and there were new ideas introduced since then that modern ears can't really live without now, but i have mad respect for the beatles. even if sgt pepper and the white album aren't in my top anything lists.
they took what southern artists had been putting out for years and squared it up enough to appeal to the A&R men who had been squaring jazz for a decade

I love Abbey road but could take or leave just about everything else they ever wrote.

But I'm a certified prog a holic, so pure pop bores me.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far cock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

Also, Ringo was the most popular Beatle during their day, and received the most fan mail. He's also the only one still alive. Unless we count Pete Best, idk if he's alive or not.

See, I'm a fan of "the beatles." We are called "Beatlemaniacs!"
