it's all down to differing taste.

aside from 'Walrus' the Beatles have done fuck all to get me excited about their music. I prefer Lennon's solo stuff, but it's still not a regular thing on my playlist

the beatles have a few songs i like

and i respect what they accomplished but it doesn't engage me really. not like bowie. when if your mood is right and you put on Diamond Dogs, you can feel thousands of electric shocks on your skin from just how incredible the album is.
in fact i think i need to listen to that now

I think a 'Bowie friday' is calling

I agree that the songs have not all faired well enough to be held in such high regard

but you have to appreciate that they get bummed and played to death and they don't really resonate so very well today BUT I think music today would be very different if we hadn't had them AND if you get a couple of albums (mostly the later stuff) and listen to them through they're actually very very very good.

I also like Lennon's solo stuff, but find it so filled with hypocrisy that it fills me with rage
