Has anyone actually ever heard of a Beatles song? For being such a supposedly popular band I have never heard a single song of theirs in my life
iirc beatles licensing costs a fortune so if you're outside of the us/uk you probably never grew up hearing it on the radio or whatever. But yeah I think their popularity is a bit overstated. Not sure about influence, though
@dilf itβs incredibly mid. Hey Jude is my favorite and itβs okay but not great.
yellow submarine and hey jude are the only ones I can think of to be honest
I'm going through their youtube channel, they do approximately smash mouth numbers
@burner @dilf When you said yellow submarine I thought it was some joke or meme that I was out of the loop on.
I always hear people say their hit song is "Hey Jude" but I've never heard it even once. I refuse to look it up either since if it's actually popular I would hear it somewhere. The Beatles actually have no hits it's crazy.

I mean, they are a band from the 60s. I think most stuff we (zoomers) get through osmosis is xer shit. A lot of shit from that era is only really remembered in name.
@burner @dilf I don't agree. When the other guy mentioned Elvis multiple hit songs of his came to mind. The Doors, Rolling Stones, The Monkees, The Beach Boys...all these bands I can hear their hit songs in my head. Hell I just searched 60s bands online and yeah I can think of a song for basically all of them EXCEPT the Beatles.
It's a mid band that horny girls gooned to for a while and then were promptly forgotten except in name only

But for the most part, it was just pop music of the time, and one of the important parts of pop music is that it has an expiry date so the next manufactured band on the conveyor can come out and sell more albums at relatively low cost before they become too expensive.
