I "hated" them for a long time because i was an edgelord. Then i admitted to myslef that theyre actually good. But theyre fine. If i was around when they were actively putting out music id probably like them.
I dont like John Lennon at all tho - the other 3 are alright

I like them a lot. They're not in my top 10, but probably in the top 15 or 20.

Hopefully many others will grow out of that crap because it seems being edgy is the popular road to take these days when it comes to The Beatles.

They have a lot more musical high points early on in their career than it might seem in retrospect. I think it gets overlooked now partly because of the vast number of covers they did at the time. And I think their later period has a good amount of flubs which got excused due to the overall ethos of the time, to which they really helped to contribute. I see Magical Mystery Tour as their opus though, which is their psychedelic period at its best imo. Though the White Album and Abbey Road at their best are better. And its too bad a good amount of great records by John and George in particular were saved for their early solo periods even though they were composed while the Beatles were still a group.

Not liking them is perfectly understandable. On the other hand, calling them 'overrated' or otherwise denying their massive influence on popular music that endures even to this day is a near-indelible mark of cultural ignorance.

I agree with this. Every time someone gushes about the Beatles, it's their later stuff. Everyone acts like anything prior to Rubber Soul doesn't matter. I grew up more on A Hard Day's Night and Help! albums than their later stuff. Those two are remarkable pop albums.

Solid band, deserves most of the acclaim they get, but not necessarily all of it. You have to try reeeally hard to actively dislike them.

There won't ever be no band like The Beatles, that's fer sure.

They revolutionized song form and what things would appear in an album, you have these 4 dudes breaking out of this world of pop and completely going the opposite direction. From the time they started to the time they ended, they just had hits popular with even the most serious musicians - they would listen to their albums and just hear the kind of growth that went from "fuck how do you get it this catchy" to "oh shit they actually made something like this?"

This was the "We're in a band and we're trying to write music, it just so happens we can actually write catchy songs!" period:

Please Please Me: Ask Me Why, Love Me Do, Please Please Me, Twist And Shout (Cover), Do You Want To Know A Secret
With The Beatles: All My Loving, All I've Got To Do, Not A Second Time, It Won't Be Long, Don't Bother Me
A Hard Day's Night: Side A (First 7 songs were recognized hits - my favorite is I'm Just Happy To Dance With You). Side B is okay.
Beatles For Sale (This was when they started getting USA Famous): No Reply (you can already hear it here, it's like the start of the merge between this big bravado style with some serious dance backseat), You're Gonna Lose That Girl (the ultimate "Chad" song), Eight Days A Week (mega hit), I'll Follow The Sun (this song really branches out and sticks out here - it's the foundation for something like "Norwegian Wood", "Yesterday", "Two of Us")

After that they had reached ultimate success with Help! literally has one of the most beautiful songs in history and revered by pretty much everyone at that point:

Yesterday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrgmdOz227I

Other songs in that album are like the jump off points towards the other approaches they expanded so hard on: I've Just Seen A Face, Help!, You're Going To Lose That Girl, I Need You, Ticket To Ride (This sounds like Revolution 9 tbh)

You compare any of those songs to any album afterwards?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBcdt6DsLQA

this is by far my favorite thing they ever made, just a return to like being a band and making something simple - right at the height of the end for The Beatles:

Not to mention the lore of The Beatles themselves and their own personal growth reflected in the music.
