>No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

>Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially. Beatles' "Aryan" music removed any trace of black music from rock and roll. It replaced syncopated African rhythm with linear Western melody, and lusty negro attitudes with cute white-kid smiles. Contemporary musicians never spoke highly of the Beatles, and for good reason. They could never figure out why the Beatles' songs should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that the Beatles were simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to "Beatlemania", which had nothing to do with their musical merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in their (mediocre) musical endeavours to this day.

>Nothing else grants the Beatles more attention than, say, the Kinks or the Rolling Stones. There was nothing intrinsically better in the Beatles' music. Ray Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better songwriter than Lennon & McCartney. The Stones were certainly much more skilled musicians than the 'Fab Four'. And Pete Townshend was a far more accomplished composer, capable of entire operas such as "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia"; not to mention the far greater British musicians who followed them in subsequent decades or the US musicians themselves who initially spearheaded what the Beatles merely later repackaged to the masses.

Hesitation Marks > everything else

Literally every episode is like this:
>"Why Niles, I haven't seen you so incensed since '96, when the operahouse scrapped their annual production of 'Don Giovani' from the calendar!"
>*canned laughter*
>"But Frasier, don't you remember last year's April Fools Day when you switched the disk from my copy of the Berlin Symphony playing Bach's Symphony in D Major with that of "The Simpsons Do the Bartman" as a practical joke?
>*canned laughter*
>"I'm afraid not Niles. We all know what excessive sherry consumption does to my memory and sense of comedic timing. What exactly was your reaction?"
>"Well Frasier, let's just say that it's a good thing I'm a Jungian and not a Freudian like yourself. Oh, and that it wasn't Eddie who defecated in your Armani loafers after all."
>*canned roaring applause and hollering*

Literally the Big Bang Theory of the 90s

16-17 year-old weaboo nigger who has 1 or 2 friends in school.

fantano worded it in what everyone treats as the baseline socially acceptable opinion anyway

basically he said he cant imagine who this would appeal to unless you're depressed and just want to hear someone else who's depressed. It appeals to biases, and isn't really exemplary for what it is (according to fantano). Make of it what you will.

They were sellouts from the beginning, what are you talking about. It's not like this album is getting any more general recognition than Chinese Fountain anyways. As it shouldn't, since it is crearly the inferior album

>>75114993
Yes.
