sorry Dev i don't always WUM although it does tend to mean tha nobody believes what I say. i can, hand on heart, say that The Beatles were overrated pish with twee lyrics for the moronic masses. Now The Who and The Kinks were the essential music of the 60's but as I reiterate that is my personal opinion and as said before is no less valid than any ****in boffins opinion. Note the use of the word opinion and not fact..
You know who were/are over-rated - The Stranglers. Talentless pubrock chancers who jumped on the punk bandwagon. Golden Brown? Total ****, more like
No offence but that's one of the biggest loads of bollocks I've ever seen in my life. I prefer both the Beach Boys and The Velvet Underground to The Beatles but to call them "overrated pish with twee lyrics for the moronic masses" is simply wrong, and I'm guessing you decided that when you were 13 and are too stubborn to admit you're talking ****e.
Like pub rockers The Clash I agree sonny. And then there is the Malcolm McLaren manufactured punk band The Sex Pistols, I agree. Real punk started in America with The New York Dolls and The Ramones. Would you like any more history lessons sonny?
The Beatles were a poor mans Kinks, ER is right here. But lets not forget the greatest of them all, Ini Kamoze.
