Lou Reed is the biggest foooool of them all. Yes, Lou has two good song but it makes him think he was way better than he really was. The Beatles could not have had so many songs on so many albums for for many years that millions of people of all generations know word-for-word if they were not something special. "Silly Love Songs" by Paul has a great bass line so he has no clue what a bad bass player is. Lou Reed interviews are always more interesting than his songs and that really is the truth if you watch them you'll agree. If Lou didn't get the legendary bass player Herbie Flowers to play bass on "Walk On the Wildside" Lou would have half the fame he has. Herbie is the one that came up with the idea to use an electric bass and a double bass to double track on that song for the unique sound not Lou yet Herbie gets almost no credit. Lou didn't like any British groups but Herbie was from Sussex England was the player he used on his most famous song. Lou is a fake. If any bass players are reading this far look up "Serge Gainsbourg - Melody (Histoire de Melody Nelson 1/7)" on youtube and you'll love it. That is Herbie playing. It is one of the best bass song ever.

Check out these beautiful Lou Reed songs from the VU era: Sunday Morning Femme Fatale Venus in Furs I'll Be Your Mirror Stephanie Says Coney Island Steeplechase What Goes On She's My Best Friend That's The Story Of My Life Sister Ray Murder Mystery Pale Blue Eyes Sweet Jane Rock n Roll Candy Says Here She Comes Great songwriting and performance. You'll find in them the blueprint for Indie music that followed which is why those Indie bands quote VU as influences a lot more than The Beatles. It's much cooler to like thay VU sound than say, Penny Lane or When I'm 64. You'll also find a timeless quality to these songs that transcend their era and stand outside it. Coney Island Steeplechase or Stephanie Says sound as fresh and as if they were written recently, not in 1969! In these songs, there is also a fine balance between discord and harmony, tenderness and harshness, ballad and proto punk, the latter being an influence on actual punk which came later. Just ask Iggy Pop or Mark E Smith of The Fall..and esp. see what Bowie says about it. Gainsbourg is great too, I have all his albums. He was another unique genius like Lou Reed.

Some musicians are much younger and have no idea what the Beatles were, their influence and the entire musical and social scene of the 60s. Others don't like them out of pure envy and jealousy. I'm 64 years old and I know very well what the music world was like in the 60s and especially after the Revolver album. The Beatles are still bigger than all those mentioned. The influence of the Beatles and Bob Dylan is immeasurable. Of course, others were also important, such as Motown, Elvis, George Martin, Phil Spector, blues musicians, Carole King, girl groups, Fender, Gibson, wah-wah and all the studio technologies, fashion, etc.

Yes. I'm not the type of person that "goes with the flow" either, but in the case of the Beatles, I can't do otherwise. If they had written only good but "simple" songs like "Yesterday" and "Let It Be" and everybody was saying that they're the greatest band ever, then ok, maybe I would agree that they exaggerate, but no, having listened to all of their albums and seen their progress from "Please Please Me" to "Revolution 9", I have no other choice than to agree that there was no other band like them. I understand if people say that, for example, Pink Floyd was the greatest band of all time, but although they did more progressive stuff, they don't speak to my heart as the Beatles do.

I think Quincy Jones might have had every right to say what he did about the Beatles when he said it. He was coming from the standpoint of having been a jazz musician. When you're listening to one style of music most of the time and hearing a minimum level of proficiency, people like John, Paul, George and Ringo who were not formally trained or educated, it kind of stands to reason that somebody like Quincy Jones wouldn't have the kindest words to say about their proficiency. What I would like to know is if Quincy had changed his mind about them by 1982 when Michael Jackson was recording the music from *Thriller* and they recruited Macca to duet with Michael on "The Girl is Mine".

good point. studio musicians, by definition, work as "studio musicians" because they're limited, incapable of writing their own music and they're incapable of singing their own music and they're incapable of arranging their own music. Otherwise they'd be performers. So to compare the pure musicianship of The Beatles to that of a studio musician is a ridiculous comparison because The Beatles will always come out on top even if a studio musician might theoretically play a particular instrument better than them. And anyway, how many studio musicians can play rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, drums and piano like Paul McCartney? And compose like him? And sing like him? You'd need to hire 10 different people to do what he does on his own.

The common thread seems to be that they are Americans. The Beatles repackaged American music and sold it back to the USA. That will probably have been annoying or confusing to some Americans. There's quite a culture gap between the two countries despite the assumption that a common language helps us understand each other. Lou Reed's career was resuscitated by Bowie incidentally so his statement that Brits shouldn't play anything was particularly daft. He can go and boil his head frankly.

Lou Reed on a different level ?!? Puh-leeze. Spare me. Besides “Wild Side” and then a distant “Sweet Jane” and MAYBE “Dirty Boulevard”, that’s all he brought to the table. Day In The Life, Eleanor Rigby and Fool On The Hill blow any of those artists’ songs out of the water in terms of craftsmanship and relevance; even 55-ish years later. The Beatles weren’t virtuosos. Quincy’s right about that, but just cuz it ain’t Motown don’t mean it ain’t good. It’s either hubris or some alternate reality to deny that The Beatles’ contribution to music is the ‘modern’ equivalent to Mozart’s contribution to classical music.

The simple fact that some of these non-groundbreaking (though very talented) musicians feel the need to say "The Beatles are not all that" speaks volumes. I think the envy might come from the fact that individually none of the Beatles is an extraordinary musician (maybe Harrison as a guitar player) but together they are much, much more than the sum of the parts. Unmatched creativity and intuition.

I can understand if people wouldn't consider the Beatles as a great band if they had stopped making music in 1965. Although all their songs were very nice up to that point, and you just feel joy and nostalgia listening to them, I agree that they weren't something really groundbreaking. But after that, everything changed. If people, and especially musicians, listen to songs like "Eleanor Rigby", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "Within You, Without You", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am The Walrus", to name just a handful of their masterpieces, and almost everything out of the "White Album", and say that they are overrated or nothing special, their out of their minds. Ok, yes, music has progressed miles since then, and more innovative and progressive stuff may have come out, like Pink Floyd, of course, but if they don't keep in mind in what era the Beatles created, and they don't acknowledge how within 3 years went from "Help" to "Helter Skelter", they're idiots. I love Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground is also one of the greatest and most influential bands ever (although short lived), but if he really meant what he said and he wasn't trolling, then there was something wrong with him. If someone can't enjoy listening to the Beatles and prefers more experimental stuff like, I don't know, Amon Duul II or Popol Vuh or whatever, fine, but saying that the Beatles were garbage or whatever, makes you an ignorant idiot. They sure were not the ONLY great band of the '60s, or the only innovative, but they sure made the biggest impact. No other band in the history of music made the transformation that they did from how they started to how they finished, all within about only 7 years. It's not an opinion, it's a fact, so stop making a fool of yourself.

The Beatles were big fans of Lucky White and His Dude Ranch Playboys. A huge act from 1946 thru 1954. The band that toured with Hank Williams. Cliffie Stone, Les Paul and Mary Ford. Lucky was hated by Nashville. He inspired everyone who came after him in including Elvis Presley.

I love the Beatles and I love Nine Inch Nails, so I was surprised to hear Trent sort of knock them. When The Fragile came out in 1999 I listened to it a lot. I entered a competition in a music magazine to write a review of your favourite album from the year. I wrote a wordy glowing review of The Fragile saying it was a work of genius, on par with anything the Beatles ever did. I didn't win but the magazine quoted that part of my review. It would be funny if Trent really hated them and saw this review. 😄I contacted him on Twitter (when it was called that, before he left) - he blocked me!! 🙂

In the 80s I played with a keyboard player that said that the Beatles had absolutely no influence on him at all. I then asked him which bands did have a big influence in him and he said "Genesis". I later saw Phil Collins being interviewed and he was asked the same question and he said "The Beatles" and that the whole band was extremely influenced by them. So some of the younger guys in this video, may have had musicians that they love, that were influenced by the Beatles. Lou Reed, wouldn't admit it, if he had been influenced by them.

I'm pretty much a lifelong musician and when I was younger I could not really understand why everyone slavishly followed The Beatles. Now that I'm older I still feel the same in some ways. I do LOVE Paul and feel that his songwriting is some of the best the world has ever known. HOWEVER now that more musicians have access to being able to create music via computers and the internet distribution systems, there is SO MUCH AMAZING MUSIC that I wonder if the Beatles would have been heard through the avalanche of other music nowadays. I mean, I'm a musician and I think my sh*t is pretty slammin'. But unlike the Beatles I did not have access until the age of the internet. Now my music has been licensed and used in movies and TV shows. Back in the day I would have had to worry about the expense of a recording studio and all the stuff you need to just be able to get an album out. Thank you Internet for helping out us musicians! PAUL STILL ROCKS!!

@@artguti1551 Yes, but there were simply not the same amount of musicians at that time, and it was horrendously expensive to get access to a studio, or studio musicians. Many more people can be more creative with the help of computers. I'm not young so I remember how hard it was to create music before computers and I even put out an album before using any computers. There is so much more great music around nowadays because even those who play instruments can now record themselves instead of trying to afford studio sessions. Also computers have helped artists with distribution. And 'pitch correction' is just the tip of the iceberg of what has been improved. If you listen closely to old recordings it's easy to hear a lot of pitch problems. Anyhoo, I do love Paul!!

@@artguti1551 But The Beatles were innovative for sure, for their time. I recently was thinking about how cool it is that on so many Beatles songs that they change time and style right in the middle of the tune! My husband said it was from their immersion into Indian culture (in India). They learned a lot and of course it really shows in their songs. I feel sort of bad saying anything negative about them because I truly do love their music and Paul Mc Cartney and Wings was a huge influence for me and almost the first songs I ever heard as a child that made me love music were his. However, I do think that they would have had a lot more great competition in today's world.
