Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

@mylogic ,

I’ve actually met Mike and Frank, really nice guys.

Beatles didn't like being on pedestal either, any number of songs disparaging  their fame, especially those written by John and George.

All bands are subject to criticism, no comment is blasphemous on a music topic. The Fab Four are not the end all, even though they are the original boy band singing bubble gum pop music for the most part. 
This thread is calling out a bunch of bands…why not them too?

For me….Their music has meant nothing to my musical journey. From day one I always thought they were just ok, great song writers but singers and musicians, there are tons more appealing. 
 

Carry on….

I couldn't disagree more. And it's fine, we don't need to fall for the same music. 

But, they were so talented, even Ringo, that it's just missing the point. 

To me, George and Paul are in the top 5 of singer-songwriter talents. These guys in their 20s innovated like no one else ever since. Their influence pretty much matches Mozart's and Beethoven's contribution to humanity.

And Paul and George produces albums post Beatles that are timeless and up there.

The Beatles……Just a logical observation, not agreeing one way or the other.

One of the only groups throughout history that can be identified by most people just by hearing their four first names. I would go further and say that in most conversations, mentioning the name ‘Ringo’ would conjure up a Beatles connection.
