I can't let this slide.....the BEATLES? The only way you can even try to justify this is by completely removing context from the argument. The Beatles were a landmark group that really pushed music into new territory - especially when you consider that they started out basically as a boy band.

I mean seriously, how do you justify calling the Beatles overrated?

Hahaha... I was sure about being "flamed"... though, back in the 80's, I never understood the buzz & the noise around The Smiths & Morrissey... just as I don't get this "burialmania" nowadays...
