>Tfw a lot of his favorite bands were influenced by the Beatles.

>>74841978
He's like /mu/ incarnate. He has the capability to be brilliant and interesting, and has a well-defined taste that introduces you to a very interesting view of the popular music landscape, but is crippled by his contrarian tendencies and combative approach to the analysis of music. He can't help himself.

He keeps mistaking them for beetles, the insect. Why would anyone like them?

I don't understand how he loves Dylan so much but can't appreciate the Beatles influence on his electric albums or the Dylan influence on Rubber Soul/Revolver

>>74841978
He was cucked by Paul at some point

>>74842031
This.

And OP, you're entirely right.
The Beatles are without a doubt the most influential popular music artists of all time. Even influenced The Velvet Underground. Way surpassed Chuck Berry and Little Richard.

ohhhh, THIS is why he rates Type O Negative so highly. once you get beyond the doom metal trappings, the songwriting in TON is super Beatles-influenced.

god it all makes sense now.

>>74842854
Did they really influenced The VU? I heard Lou really hated the Beatles and most British bands.

>>74842854
>Even influenced The Velvet Underground
nice meme

>>74843422
>>74843681
Wrong actually, Lou hated the cult following and do no wrong of the fans. He was very influenced by the beatles

He praises the Beatles, even thought he thinks they are overrated. I don't see what's the problem here.

top kek, Lou Reed fuckin HATED The Beatles and the Beach Boys. He even talked shit about the Doors.

>Tfw a lot of his favorite bands were influenced by the Beatles.
>Tfw some of his favorite albums sample some Beatles songs.

literally not true

He hates the Beatles, but loves the "artists" that have made whatever meager career they've had by making fun of the Beatles (Residents, Beefheart, Faust etc.). He's a contrarian.

>>74844123
He said he hated everybody, that was just him being contrarian, who knows what he actually liked or didn't.

>>74844167
>He hates the Beatles
He doesn't. He just thinks they are overrated.

>loves the "artists" that have made whatever meager career they've had by making fun of the Beatles (Residents, Beefheart, Faust etc.)
Eh, considering those artists (at least Residents and Faust) kind of made fun of The Beatles' music, I don't think it's unreasonable.

>>74841978
there is a difference between hitting new ground and popularising an existing sound.

Problem is rating Abbey Road 7/10

>>74842031
/board

>>74846561
Because it's too high or too low?

>>74846561
on his scale 5 = good 6 = very good 7 = great 8 = masterpiece 9 = 'best of all times'

>>74846766
>>74846561
Wrong. It's actually
10=best album ever
9=rock masterpiece
8=buy it now
7=buy it eventually
6=buy it if you are a fan
Basically, anything that's a 7 or more he considers to be essential, with 6s being left to your personal taste.

>>74846766
>>74846819
Then it should be at least an 8?

>>74846884
imo it should be a 6.5
Revolver however should be an 8 (instead of a 5)

>>74841978
>its another "why doesnt he like the beatles ;__;" thread

Why be continually triggered by an opinion of a person you've never even met?
Also, overrated ≠ bad

what the fuck

>>74846766
No 5 means it isn't worth it
6 and higher are a very loose definition of Piero approved albums
7's are albums he actually likes
8's are albums he loves
And you know what 9's are
