Thats because the MT reguars either don't like the Beatles, don't care about them, or don't listen to them.
And theres the fact that Straf doesn't troll, and he only goes in on the Beatles threads, instead of going onto the threads of pretty much every single MTer, saying "This band sucks" or "overrated". |

I do that to. I haven't very recently, though. |

Straf = tatoberry
Straf might be tatoberry's alt. Trust me, I am not in on these double standards. |

Thing is, when I criticize something, I always have a good reason to. I'm not a blind fan-boy, and I'm not a holy fool. Tato does the same as me, yes, and can also justify his reasoning just as I, but he's nothing like me taste-wise, if I recall correctly. |

Yes, but no every single time he comes on MT saying everyone elses music is terrible, and that his opinion matters more then others. |

I'm not sure. I could believe either one to be true, but I like to hope in my heart they were two different people.
Also people used to think we were the same so maybe there's hope.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. 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.
