Stuck on the Border
Re: The Beatles
I'm a Beatles fan, but I think they're in a position no human being should be allowed to be in. That is a position where one is above all criticism. Even Paul seems to believe this. He once mentioned criticism of the so called "White album" (my favorite Beatles album by the way) and said, "It's the bloody Beatles White Album, so SHUT UP!".
Personally I would place Led Zeppelin above Beatles, but anyway...I LOVE Beatles, but they do have many songs that suck, but no one is allowed to say that. If "Golden earth girl" was a Beatles song, it would be considered one of their best songs. But since it's on a McCartney album from the early nineties, it's "not as good as the Beatles". So this is ridiculous.
I tend to love a lot of the lesser know tracks that Lennon hated, although he wrote them! "Glass onion" and "Dig a pony", which are, of course, nonsense songs lyrically. But there's this atmosphere. They probably were one of the greatest bands ever, but they shouldn't be above criticism.
"I am the walrus" is fantastic, as is "Penny Lane". "You know my name (look up the number)" is fabulous!!
