One of my favourite stories, and kind of went to disuade the John the Messiah of Principle Lennon myth is the story of Maxwell's Silver Hammer (which I maintain is the worst song ever, worse than Black Eyed Peas, Rebecca Black or anything by Train).

John Lennon refused to have any input into it. Point blank. He hated it. But he still took a writing credit. A writing credit for something that was all Paul McCartney's doing.

Now, I appreciate they shared writing responsbility. But if you are going to storm out of a studio over something, then you don't take the credit (and money) over it.

Next line of evidence for the Beatle's myth being blown wide open, Let It Be... Naked. Take away all of Phil Spector's hard work, you have what can only be described as a musical disaster.

So by your reckoning they must have been clean when they wrote the better stuff - make your mind up.

Not really much of a hater myself... I always find it weird the pleasure people get from dissing different artists and genres. I have my fav's, some that I like less than others but the passion it seems to drum up in folk always leaves me slightly baffled, as though the artist has tried to offend them by creating music that they don't like

It's just when a band comes on the radio etc my heart sinks, I don't necesseserily hate the band just their hateful songs!

Another one from me Muse post Absolution. Just become a stadium rock wankfest.
my opinion of course

Muse have always been slightly flashy imo, their sound is built around Matt Bellamy's vituoso ability. They were touted as the new Radiohead when they first appeared but they never had the connectability, gritty, organic vibe or lyrical genius of Radiohead.

I don't hate the Beatles. I quite like Macca as a person & can drum my fingers to a couple of Wings songs. It's the adoration & worship around anything they have done which annoys & frustrates me.

I think its probably due to them being one of the most influential, innovative bands in history
Not sure of your age, but it's easy to look back and not get it.
We are so used to hearing over polished production and quick fire
instant hooks nowadays.. but then, your reference to wings.. actually, that just
has me worried
