So putting things in persepctive the Beetles were icons of their day and for their time very good.
Heres where my mixed feelings come in. I hate McCartney. Think he is a shit singer and musician and think he is a two faced bollox. I think even less of Ringo Starr as a musician. Harrison on the other hand was a fine musician and quite good. Lennon was a legend. An excellent innovative musician who would prob be in the top 20 of of all time.
So they werent for me but their record speaks for itself. I also think Abbey Road cover was one of the most original album covers around.
