The Beatles made some of the worst music in human history. This belief is not supported by arguments of their musical quality, but what they did to achieve that extreme level of quality. There are two theories to this argument, and each will be backed up by substantial evidence.

  1. Drugs
    It is a well known fact that5b4 the four members of the Beatles did hefty amounts of illegal substances. These substances are in fact sinfully as evidenced by numerous passages in the Christian Bible. Do the ends justify the means? In this case I think not. The Beatles did illegal substances against the Will of God which is vile and evil. Therefore the music they made was vile and evil in the very roots of it's creation. The song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, proves their malicious use of illegal substances. This is the more probable theory, but the other theory is unfortunately an extremely real possiblity.
  2. Deal with the Devil?
    Nobody before of after the Beatles has created such magicical music. The wide gap of talent from the Beatles to their "rivals" and other musical figures such as the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, etc. etc. seems to indicate that there is something amiss here. I believe that after dropping the unique drummer Pete Best, and acquiring the ineffective drummer Ringo Starr. They decided that a "Deal with Devil" was their only solution to achiving musical history. I have no idea what they bargained to achieve this end, but two of the Beatles since then have died. I think that figure in itself speaks for itself. Do the ends justify the means? Again in this case, I think not.
    What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his2000 soul?
    -Bible Quote
    This important bible quote clearly and concisely explains what I am trying to "get at". The Beatles used some form of sinful evil to achieve their spot in history. That is why the Beatles made bad music.

I don't know what to say, except: you're a troll, The Beatles are among the best, the law isn't always right, not all drugs are harmful, Ringo was a great drummer, Pete Best wasn't a great drummer, good vs. evil is a human construct111c, the soul exists only symbolically and the Bible is beep

Interesting all right. Ringo was recruited because he was recognised as the best drummer on the Mersey screen at the time. Sure, there were plenty of better (ok, way better) drummers that came along later but he was still one of the best rock n roll drummers of the early sixties.
Not sure how serious the OP is being but I got a good chuckle out of it.
When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now!

Intriguing argument. Calling Pete Best "unique" is being kind. Ringo got the job because he could keep better time.

I'm not a diehard Fab Four fan, but that angers me that someone would trash a talented legendary group like the Fab Four. Yes there are songs that are not great, but that's expected of every artist, even MJ. No one is perfect. Yes they screwed around on their wives, and did drugs, but they never stated they were angels, they only wanted to provide the world with melodic timeless music and they did. 50 years on, it's still popular.

Very clever. I got drawn in by the 'legitimate argument' bit. All we need now is for this and the thread is done

You are wrong, sir! And I don't appreciate your references to "Number 2", let's be mature here and not stoop to that very low level.

I don't know if the OP is sincere or if it's just a joke, but either way, it really, really made my day and I needed it. Thank you so much !

'backed up by substantial evidence.'
Sorry, missed where that was in your rant
