The Beatles were together for a grand total of seven years. They put out 13 albums. Twenty-Seven of their songs went to #1 on the Billboard 100.   They churned out over 225 songs. You personally know the words to over 100 of them.

That comes out to:

Nearly four #1 hits per year.
2 albums per year.
Over 32 songs per year.

There has never, nor will there ever be a stronger songwriting duo than Lennon & McCartney across all genres of music.  It was a once in a millenia thing.  They knew how to write a song alone, but were even better together.

Then you go and use "Yellow Submarine" as an example of one of their songs to prove your point?  You ought to be ashamed of yourself.  They threw Ringo a bone once, and you're still holding a grudge?

What about...

If they wrote 1/3 of those songs in 7 years it would be impressive enough to claim that they were one of the best songwriting duos ever.  Seven F'ing Years!

Don't forget, they all have their own songs.  George wrote and sang, So did Ringo, and obviously Paul and George.  It's unheard of, can you name another band that does that?

Now, they might not have been your flavor... but overrated?  Ugh, No.   You can literally sing everyone of those songs I listed.

I'll need a full written apology. We both know Fins is nuts...I expect more from you.  Get back JoJo.

If you doubt anything I've said... grab any Beatles album, throw on a set of cans, and you'll be able to hear exactly how good they were.  Not only were they genius, George Martin was as well.

Someone get the fat man a snickers. Clearly he’s hangry.

I didn’t say anything knocking the Beatles talent. I said if they showed up today as a brand new band, they couldn’t survive in the world of auto tune and pop music. The same goes for Elvis, Ozzy, and Hank Williams Sr. That doesn’t suggest they are any less than they are.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.
