The Beatles were famous first for being a boy band that wrote simple, catchy, poppy boy band tunes, not as creative legends. And I’m willing to give people like Yoko Ono and the dadaist scene a huge amount of the credit for the experimentation in their later years, because a) she deserves it, and b) it makes redditors seethe.

confession - my favourite Beatles songs are the early ones and the Paul songs everyone thinks suck because they’re dumb and catchy and I fucking love the Monkees as well. I also adore Buddy Holly for similar reasons.

However my favourite bands are They Might Be Giants, The Smiths and the Mountain Goats and so my taste is very much in question generally, as users on this website remind me whenever music taste comes up.

Nah, you’re just being honest. Nothing wrong with liking Beatles pop tunes! The point is that you’re not pretending they’re something else than that.
