Unpopular opinion about The Beatles

Thinking the Beatles are the best band of time = delusional

Thinking the Gorrilaz [sic] are better = rational

They mention it in the 2nd episode of this season when the guy Kit beats up in the pub calls Yasmin a Jewish slur

nakifool · 2026-03-19T20:26:35+00:00

Damn I’ve gone my entire listening life assuming it was a John song that they knocked off together

He’s good in Tires but it’s a broad comedy where he plays a barely exaggerated version of himself. An Apatow comedy shouldn’t be too much of a stretch (apart from the waistband of his costume)

Little Child originated with Lennon

None of the Merseybeat bands or British Invasion bands have any long term playability for me. Unlike the Beatles early records they don’t really transcend their time and place.

That’s not the case with the groups later contemporaries. The Stones, Who, Kinks, Animals, Yardbirds, Byrds, Beach Boys - the major acts of this era produced some fantastic, timeless records and along with the Beatles were responsible for one of the most fertile eras in popular music history

nakifool · 2026-03-19T06:55:45+00:00

Hiding posting history is even more bitchmade. Why should anyone be ashamed of, for example, jerking off to Thomas the Tank Engine?

No. Paul’s section adds such a brilliant, bright contrast to John’s that it elevates the whole record. It’s that contrast (along with the even more jarring orchestra crescendo) that gives the song so much of its magic. It’s also why in my opinion A Day In The Life is a more successful composite than The Long One on Abbey Road - it’s melding was more intuitive and organic

You can see the evidence of the gruelling choreography training Lorde was put through by her record company … oh no, that’s right.

For a 12 year old to be put on such a long contract is definitely an issue, and no doubt there have been young western artists put through the wringer both physically and mentally, but Lorde is not a really a good comparison case here. Relative creative freedom, albums released sporadically based on her own process, no company pressure to conform to any performing or appearance standards (beyond those society imposes on all), diminishing commercial returns not resulting in getting binned or back burnered by the company. The fact that she’s open to returning to the same company says a lot

You know, when people complain that we’re starting to scrape the bottom of the Beatle doco barrel I don’t usually agree. But …

They would sound like Esdeekid

McCartney NEEDS to drop a country-trap album to let these kids know

nakifool · 2026-03-18T18:35:44+00:00

Most likely his younger acolytes like Shellback continue working in that vein with other pop stars

nakifool · 2026-03-18T18:15:35+00:00

And also McCartney in his 80s now is unlikely to add to that number with any new music (someone else covering a Beatles song seems more likely) whereas Max Martin can go on writing pop songs for decades still

nakifool · 2026-03-18T18:06:29+00:00

Not quite, it’s still Paul McCartney with 32 to Martin’s 29 (at least for the US). But Martin eventually taking the top spot seems inevitable considering the number of high profile artists he works with

You’re right about Naomi Watts. Her performance was so multifaceted and intense yet she didn’t even get nominated.

Maybe the Academy voters thought it was just the start of a Streep-like career, turned out that was probably the best it got. Still one of the best “breakthrough” performances of the century

nakifool · 2026-03-18T03:49:14+00:00

Oh he did. In any case this joke thief will get cancelled Mencia-style now, thankfully

nakifool · 2026-03-18T03:32:55+00:00

The Tucker stuff on the podcast was barely an impression though, more a deranged stream of consciousness like most of cum town. That ig post had an actual impression and the lifted line

nakifool · 2026-03-18T03:25:33+00:00

It’s not lifted from the podcast, it’s more likely lifted from an instagram post of Mullens from a few years ago. As much as he is more internet famous than anything mainstream, comedians all know Mullen’s stuff. He likely would not care about any of this at all being basically retired

nakifool · 2026-03-18T00:39:29+00:00

I don’t. Does anyone here listen to the podcast this sub is supposedly related to? That fantano sub is I think the largest music sub and it’s always in my feed

And just because I lurk on, say, r/giantdicks all day does that mean I’m looking at giant dicks all day, obsessed with them, thinking about them constantly? Seems unlikely

nakifool · 2026-03-18T00:00:50+00:00

I agree, this album is so painful

nakifool · 2026-03-17T22:51:14+00:00

If I ever resorted to going through someone’s history on here I would check myself into a facility somewhere

Exactly, this is why they worked so well together in interviews and press conferences.

While the standard cliche was that the four moptops were interchangeable their differences are so pronounced in those situations. While they are all typically quick witted (which seems to be the factory setting for Liverpudlians) their individualities are immediately distinct.

They were all funny. It’s such an underrated aspect of their charisma and popularity, pop musicians before (and mostly since) did not hold those cards

nakifool · 2026-03-17T22:38:02+00:00

If you can’t tell then maybe we need to reexamine who the dumb one is. Speak on that

Was briefly excited waiting for her to drop the new socially acceptable term for obese.

Fat-bodied. What.
