Trying to tell a Beatles fan (Like myself) that there music doesn't have this or that, or that they suck or whatever, it isn't going to be successful in their point.

[–]voidsong 1 point2 points ago

I dream of a day when we abolish notions of religion, race, and nationality, and can start hating/killing each other over our music preferences.

[–]TheHenryHoover 1 point2 points ago

It reminds me of a time when I was told by a friend that Skrillex is better. I nearly killed her

upvote because of Vince McMahon

The Beatles suck their lyrics are nonsensical

[–]wassamattau[S] 3 points4 points ago

You clearly are not thinking of The Beatles. Also, if lyrics are how you judge an artist's worth, you're doing it wrong.

[–]Joe_ManginiPSN -1 points0 points ago

Then how do you judge an artists worth if not with their work?

[–]wassamattau[S] 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I don't know. Instrumentation? Harmonies? Complexity? You sound like you're arguing that lyrics constitute a band or artist's work in its entirety which is so offensively false.

[–]Joe_ManginiPSN -1 points0 points ago

I really don't care everything about the Beatles music suck

[–]Joe_ManginiPSN -1 points0 points ago

And it isn't the 1800s no one likes instrumentals anymore

[–]wassamattau[S] 0 points1 point ago

Instrumentation is not a synonym for instrumental, jackass. And I'm not about to take music advice (or even honor an opinion about music) from someone who does not know that.

[–]Joe_ManginiPSN 0 points1 point ago

i know the difference i was just stating the fact that no one likes instrumentals anymore so if the lyrics are stupid the song is stupid

[–]wassamattau[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well in that case, you're still wrong. If the music is interesting, then the lyrics are unnecessary. You mean to tell me that "Any Colour You Like" or "Is There Anybody Out There" by Pink Floyd is "stupid" because there aren't words? What about every score to every movie ever? They all suck? Grow up and learn a little about music man.

[–]Joe_ManginiPSN 0 points1 point ago

Dude I'm talking specifically the Beatles I don't like them we got a little sidetracked

[–]Whytefang -5 points-4 points ago

Oh my god, you mean some people don't like The Beatles?!?!?!?

No, seriously. I personally don't particularly like the Beatles, but I don't hate them. I would much prefer to listen to some Skrillex (as in certain songs), or maybe To Destroy A City.

Think of it this way - if someone started playing Bieber, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people on Reddit would say "Can you play something good?". And that's the exact same situation as this. The person may prefer Bieber to the Beatles. That doesn't make them a worse person.

Sure, saying that instead of "Do you think you could play such and such?" is dickish, but that doesn't require you to view them with disgust.

[–]wassamattau[S] 3 points4 points ago

I understand the sentiment. But no, playing Bieber vs The Beatles is not a comparison that works. Why? Because The Beatles' stuff is complex, layered, and... well, good. I'm not making any claim about the person or persons involved. Just that they're wrong that The Beatles aren't good. 'Cause they are.

[–]FaelSafe 2 points3 points ago

The fact that Whytefang said he would rather listen to SKRILLEX over THE BEATLES makes me think there is some airborne disease going around the world infecting people with the stupid.

I'm all for personal opinion, but this opinion is wrong.
