Anyone who doesn't recognize Lennon and McCartney as 2 of the top 5 songwriters in modern music history, and the Beatles as the most progressive band of their time is either a pseudo-rebellious douchebag or a musically inept douchebag.

I can understand a person not liking the Beatles for personal music preferences, but to say they are terrible? Cmon, look at the era they came from. By the time Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and Sabbath came along the Beatles had already broken up. Pink Floyd went into the studio to record Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1969. The same year the Beatles left. They grew up listening to Buddy Holly for christsake. Elvis was considered "edgy" then. 
But they didn't just imitate or steal black music like Elvis did, they developed their own unique sound.
You can't just take one band out of the context of their era, and judge them based on the hundreds of bands who came after. Consider how different music will be 40 years from now.
Their years '65 - '67 =

Yeah, you know "yellow submarine, a yellow submarine" is fucking amazing songwriting! S.T.F.U.
I recently downloaded the entire Beatles discography and it (with few exceptions) was mind-bogglingly terrible. The only justification is "for the time", which is bullshit. Put on any composer of that time period and it is some much more daring, forward looking, and complex. If you are concerning only pop music, so what, its bullshit anyway. Real hard to beat Tutti Frutti.

wow. yellow submarine is a bad example, obviously if you point out a track that isn't impressive, it adds to your arguement. how the fuck can you say it's terrible....beyond me.
composer from 60s -vs- the beatles
why the fuck compare that?
pop music, being bullshit? usually i agree but the beatles weren't just pop. sorry to hear you think they suck, you're missing out on some very enjoyable music.

I'm with Justin S. on the Beatles. Although I will admit I need to hear more of their music, the stuff I *have* heard during my 29 years here on Earth has been nothing short of endlessly annoying formulaic pop music. Perhaps, yes, "context is everything". That would explain why my parents would try to beat me when I imitated "eight days a week". Apparently, the Beatles meant more to them than they did (and do) me. That does not make them great musicians though. What did any of them do after the Beatles? Paul Mccartney sucks folks. Sorry.

Anyone mention Farmakon, they have a new one coming out also. Marko was inspired by Mike, especially the growls.
