*Insert long drawn out rant about how the Beatles are the worst thing to happen to music ever*
The Fall, The Shaggs and The Monks are deserved of all praise thrown at them, and then some more. This is truth.

What?? WHAT??
Jimi Hendrix, overrated? I don't worship the guy or anything, but there is no denying his sheer fuckin talent!
Yeah, you practically can't wipe your ass without seeing a Beatle on the toilet paper, but again, there is no denying the change their music effected, their evolution as a band, their pioneering of style...
