Yeah, Nirvana is the most overrated band of all time.
But as for The Beatles, "Rubber Soul," "Srgt. Pepper," and "Abbey Road" are all perfect albums in my opinion. As in "Bat Out Of Hell" perfect. Well, maybe not, but pretty damn close.
And as for the band aspect, they were just really cool guys. They generated their own music, recorded it the way they wanted to, and wrote some of the greatest songs of all time in the process. "I'm Looking Through You" is probably my favorite McCartney song, and my favorite Lennon song might be "Ballad Of John And Yoko."
But seriously (and again, I must say "in my opinion," because people seem to dissagree) anything The Beatles did 1965 onward is golden. Their earlier stuff is pop, so not everyone likes it, but the later stuff, AKA "Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Srgt. Pepper," "Mystery Tour," "White Album," "Abbey Road," and "Let It Be" are all stunning records. Lyrically, musically, and in the production of George Martin.
Whether you like them or not is up to you, but "overrated?" Is the sun overrated? Are trees overrated?
