What's the most successful, least talented band?

[Blue Tile Fever]

I'm taking all things into account - playing, singing, songwriting, lyrics...

The first i thought of was Korn. Terrible songs, laughable lyrics, awful vocals, and two guys who can't play guitar. I guess the drummer and bassist were decent though

Korn is awful, but only have 1 primary guitarist now, and have for close to.10 years now. For me, without question, The Beatles. Not a troll, just hate the guitar tones, dreadful playing, and whiny voices. If you don't agree, just the way it is for me. Most overrated band ever. I think they must have made the deal with the devil. Close 2nd is Dream Theater. Super gifted players, with 0 song writing skills. Unlistenable for me.

This is a joke, right? I can't tell. You didn't put the smiley at the end.

I was very clear it is not. Cannot stand them. At all. Horrible.

Keep in mind that Apegasaur is the TGPer who, according to a post in another thread, has a special "death metal" voicing on his Dumble amp. Not saying that's bad; just trying to put the comments in their proper context.

Regarding this thread, whatever happened to our superstar band "Complete"?

This is true, but I am very fond of classic rock, blues, Jazz, bluegrass, along with other styles of music. This is my opinion. Just because I play like a style you don't does not make my opinion less valid. To say it puts in a proper context is not a good point.

Thank you for the context. That pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

You don't have to like them but saying the Beatles are the most untalented successful band ever is the most absurd statement I have ever read on the internet.

I don't listen to them much any more, but I still remember being 10 years old and hearing the IWTHYH 45 for the first time at my buddy's house.

We were speechless and stared at the slipcover picture.

I think Paul was the by far the most talented, Ringo, come on.....George, pretty much the same. John, and many will disagree I am sure, the most overrated by a long shot. I will concede paul has is talented, the rest of the guys, not so much.

I think some music just about transcends the "subjective" angle, and is as close to objectively good as is imaginable. Bach, Stravinsky, and The Beatles come to mind.

P.S. - 300 bpm is just 150 bpm being counted incorrectly.

Actually no it isn't for the music I play. It was also a joke from a previous thread. I have a special metronome for practice, because a regular one does not go high enough, not even close. The Beatles are not in the same league as Bach and Stravinsky, not a fair comparison there, apples and oranges.

Saying the Beatles is talentless is pretty bold, but I guess everyone has their own opinion. It's kind of like saying NASA is just a bunch of backyard mechanics or Woodstock was just a little picnic.

No not the same at all. I still feel there was a deal made at the crossroads signed in blood hidden away in a vault to make them famous. I love classic rock, have never understood the fascination or appeal of these guys. Never will.

Not bold. Just weak. I mean, there goes your integrity right out the window. To be clear, I NEVER WANT TO HEAR THE BEATLES AGAIN. But to not recognize the talent behind Happiness Is A Warm Gun, A Day In The Life, etc. is immaturity.
