Had a big discussion about this the other day.
I can't stand the Beatles. Paul McCartney is an inspid beige mess and John Lennon is a wifebeating misogynist.
But chuck a Beatles record on - Revolver, Sgt Peppers, White Album - and it's very hard not to enjoy it. Incredible songwriting.
I think they're one of those bands where the smugness of boomers gets in the way of enjoying them.
Same, I can quite happily listen to them but I fucking hate everything about them...
Apart from George... Paperback Writer... The German single... They're all great...
Totally. For a band I hate, I really like their work.
