Most overated Band of all time

[Chief_Osceola™]

This always seems to upset people, but I always felt that The Grateful Dea is way overrated.

I also agree with The Doors & Metallica.

EM, I thought everyone from Booneville liked Grateful Dead and the Doors.  My wife would probably kill you for such comments.

Never really liked or disliked the Gratefull Dead. Just never really listened much to them. I like a couple of their songs.

[Coach Venny Slocombe]

Let me take a few seconds to let everyone know why I dislike the Beatles. I do believe that they were ahead of their time musically. I think that Paul McCartney is one of the greatest songwriters, musicians and singers of all time. George Harrison is an underated and under appreciated guitar player. Here is where I think the Beatles stink. Ringo has to be one of the worst drummers of all time. Overated best describes him. John Lennon was also IN MY OPINION, very overated. Terrible guitar player and not the best singer. His songwriting skills are very good. They were in their time of making it huge a "POP" band, top forty. Again their White album is great with Abbey Road coming in a close second. There were a ton of bands that were just as gifted musically as the Beatles. But anyway, that is my opinion and opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one and most stink.............................

John Lennon, overrated? I don't know about that. I mean the guy was a talented musician. Was he a Jimi Hendrix? Not even close. Did he affect millions and millions worldwide? Absolutely. This band revolutionized American rock. John Lennon was just a piece of the puzzle to a greater whole. John Lennon was more of a political revolutionary who emphasized free love (much like anyone else in the "free love movement"). The Beatles were one of the greatest bands of all time. The album sales back that up. People today still buy their albums. I consider people that are overrated are the ones who "sellout" or are "one hit wonders" (like Twisted Sister).

The only reason he has his own day is because he is dead.I like McCartney's music better then Lennon but I think Lennon was better with lyrics.

[Throwback1]

Also depends on what you tend to like most about a song, the lyrics or the melody...wasn't McCartney generally the lyricist and Lennon the "music" guy?

probably close to 50/50...

John and Paul met in 1956, when John's relatively unknown Liverpool skiffle band, The Quarrymen, were playing at a church fete. Afterwards, Paul, who had been impressed by the group, was introduced to John and in turn impressed him by playing 'Twenty Flight Rock' on John's right-handed guitar, which the left-handed Paul held upside down. Soon afterwards, John somewhat reluctantly asked the talented Paul to join his group. They struck up a friendship, helped by the fact that they'd both experienced the death of their mothers at a young age.

They began writing songs together in 1957, although they'd been trying to write on their own for about five years. They would sometimes skip school and go to Paul's house while his father was at work, where they would write down lyrics to tunes they made up on the piano. Some of the songs that emerged from such sessions were 'I Saw Her Standing There' and 'When I'm 64'. It's not known for sure how many songs they wrote during this period, and although most of them remained unused, their claim of 'hundreds' is possibly exaggerated.

It was during this time that they struck an agreement, that any songs they wrote would be credited to both of them, giving them equal royalties. Originally, they decided that whoever wrote the majority of a song would have their name first, but they did not stick to this rule rigidly. 'Love Me Do', mainly written by Paul, was credited to Lennon-McCartney, while 'Please, Please Me', almost entirely by John, was credited to McCartney-Lennon. Their first album, also titled Please, Please Me read 'McCartney-Lennon' on all their songs. To make it more convenient, in 1963 they eventually settled on having Lennon-McCartney on all their songs, since the letter L comes before M in the alphabet. In the late 1990s Paul requested that some of the Beatles' songs were changed over to McCartney-Lennon, especially 'Yesterday', which John had no input into whatsoever, however this idea was rejected by the owner of John's estate, his widow, Yoko Ono.

Many of the songs they wrote between the time they met and when Beatlemania began to take off in 1963, were co-written equally; as Paul said, 'eyeball to eyeball'. Compositions from this period include 'She loves You', 'There's A Place', 'From Me To You', 'Thank You Girl', 'I'll Get You', 'I Wanna Be Your Man', 'Little Child' and 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'. According to John, in 1963;

All the better songs that we have written - the ones that anybody wants to hear - those were co-written. Sometimes half the words are written by me and he'll finish them off. We go along a word each, practically.

Most of the songs they wrote during this time were mainly started or conceived by one of the pair, with the other adding in a line or verse, completing the song, or helping out when inspiration was lost. Songs like this include 'Misery', 'Do You Want to Know a Secret', 'It Won't Be Long', 'Please Please Me' (all mainly by John), and 'All My Loving', 'Hold Me Tight', 'Love Me Do' (mainly by Paul).

These guys were in the same band, why say either of them are overrated?

Yes, his pre-Yoko work was far superior to his "make a statement" era....and yeah, Venny,  Yoko was whacko.

I'm sure they made enough to where they don't care if they're "over rated". I have to admit they were the STUFF back then, and I still listen to a song every now and then. Still pretty good music.
