I'm a Brit and I do not rever the Beatles.
I can name a few of their songs but not many.
Most of them I find boring or nonsensical.
I have never understood their 'greatness'.
Personal preferences must have something to do with what is considered to be 'Great'.
If nobody had listened to the Beatles, bought
their records, etc. Would they not have
disappeared into the mists of the 1960s
never to be heard of again? Would they then
have been considered such great songwriters?
Personal preferences of their hysterical fans
at that time made them icons and so they
entered the realms of 'Greatness'. But this
is just my personal opinion. What the heck
do I know other than for me Gordon Lightfoot
is the best!
