I didn't say the Beatles had no merit whatsoever, I said they are overrated by people who claim that they are the greatest and most influential musicians of all time, ever, which is clearly nonsense. 

I learned to play by having a guitar and the Rush songbook; I'm not claiming that Rush are the most influential band of all time, ever... in fact, they're probably the reason I still can't play in time, ever. 

As for Bob The Badger, he just gets a bit obsessed with trying to score points when someone disagrees with his opinion. 

Unlike Dave Grohl, who I'm sure is very easy going and lovely, and wouldn't force me to shag to the Beatles, or anything like that. 

I actually  never said they were the most influential musicians of all time. I said they weren't overrated.

The two things are not even close to being the same thing.

And their insane success both collectively and individually way past your 1970 comment, seems to indicate that may be true.

When you say an opinion 'is clearly nonsense' then you just demonstrate you don't really understand what an opinion is.

An opinion is a subjective belief and you saying it's 'clearly' nonsense doesn't make it so - unless that is, every other person on the planet agrees with you.

In that case I shall conceded.

In the meantime it's fine for you to say, 'They were clearly called The Beatles'.....I think.

A bit like you calling me 'totally ignorant' for not sharing your opinion. 

You're making it personal and being a grade A bore tbh. I suggest we leave it there.

I think Guns n Roses are overrated. There were two or three good songs on Appetite

2 or 3 good songs of appetite for destruction???!! You've got to be trolling

Thanks Andy I enjoyed that ... when was that the late 1970s I think.  Towards the end of the stones era , creatively at least but even now they are great performers.

As far as I'm concerned no entertainer or group should be labelled 'overrated'!

No one is forced to like or admire everything in this life. I prefer Mozart to Beethoven.

Ice cream to chocolate. A nice cup of tea to champagne. Football to cricket. The Rams to any other team. The Beatles to any other group. I believe that the Stones' best songs died with Brian Jones. Mark knopfler and Eric Clapton are great guitarists. I could go on and on waffling. The point I am trying to put over is that no two people will agree in every respect and it is best to enjoy what, and who, we like, but never to brand anything as overrated or anyone as ignorant or stupid merely for holding and expressing often diametrically opposing opinions.

Therein lies discord and strife.

I agree with this. Never understand the comments on YouTube.. Someone posts a video they like and someone else says they hate the artist and everything they've done. Then starts a load of bitching. Why? Life's too short for that.

The internet has provided a stage for any self important individual to vent their small minded thoughts about why they are right and everybody else is wrong.  Probably the best way to deal with this is to ignore them like we used to do with the idiot in the pub who talked conceited bollx.

? I was looking for my 'hello pot, I'm kettle' gif. I really hope there was a huge dash of irony there from Lambchop.

Muse....really started out great...becoming a bit overblown I agree.

Blobby Williams.
