Every wannabe edgelord loves to trot out their “Beatles suck” opinion to get people riled up. Really, it just fits the “Hamlet sucks” trope of people who are unaware of historical context. “What’s so great about Hamlet? It’s just a predictable plot tied together with cliches.” In reality, the plot is predictable and the writing cliched because it was so revolutionary for its time everything that has come since has been imitating it.
Same with “Citizen Kane is boring” and “Seinfeld isn’t funny.” There is so much of modern filmmaking that originated from Citizen Kane, and Seinfeld set the bar for every sitcom that came after.
Likewise, the Beatles completely revolutionized pop music. You don’t have to enjoy their music personally, but it’s beyond ignorant to say they sucked.
Not to mention that every one of them was a multi-instrumentalist. I've never met another actual musician that failed to at least recognize what they accomplished and contributed.
Besides, Queen as a comparison? Really? Similar level of musicality, just as much a pop band, and I personally find Queen to be far more predictable and less interesting across the breadth of their work.
I personally find calling one band better than another to be cringe especially highly dissimilar artists. Unfortunately I am susceptible to the bait when I should give a shit less what they think.
