Listverse is an interesting site, but anyone can post articles on it. Often they are poorly written, extremely biased, and sometimes have completely false information. Just remember that when you read anything from their site.

I can definitely see that as being true, but i've always thought Lennon was particularly phony. And i bet if i wanted to spend the time looking up and checking facts from this article i bet i would be able to confirm most of it.

Dude, they just were. It's obvious they were all negatively biased. In my eyes who gives a fuck. I like the Beatles. John isn't my favorite, George is, i am very neutral on the topic of John Lennon. But to call him a lousy musician is fucking retarded. He just wasn't you don't have to be super technical to be a good musician, you need three chords and a message. Something the Beatles ESPECIALLY John and Paul were good at. George was obviously the most musically talented. But yeah this entire list was pretty fucking iffy.

because nobody really knows what goes on in the life of a superstar except for the star. when there is a million people with cameras following you around and they can pass off a phony story with a good photo opp.

hahah fair enough. I can see how it is biased, but still i think there is probably some truth in some of these. The terrible musician one definitely was a total stretch.

That was definitely interesting.

Also, still love seeing Paul perform. Not that he didn't/doesn't have his own issues, but he is a performing force of nature.

I had the chance to see him play 8 years ago when he was touring in Detroit and it was a phenomenal show. So awesome.


As for the rest of this thread...who gives a fuck what some random website says about John Lennon? I don't care if he beat his wife. I don't care if he got sucked into religious/spiritual fads. I don't care that he lived like a rockstar but preached humility. The Beatles still made excellent, timeless music that will be listened to forever. Why bother trying to bring up irrelevant facts about one member's personal life long after he was killed?

Just read the Bold text at the top of each of the 10 and decided lol nope good on reading that shit.

I hate annoying, shitty biased articles written by pussies. Not even arguing the topic just saying from the bold text it was obviously something not for me.

I went and looked at the lyrics of "Come Together" and the author of the article makes a good point, not many profound lyrics, a lot of nonsense

That's the point though. Many songs have simple, catchy lyrics - that's what made the songs so relateable when written and still hold true now. Pop music in its true form.
