Despite this, I like very few Beatles tunes

I don’t think that’s much of a controversial opinion - there’s some pretty dire live performances out there by him - likewise Lars is not exactly Neil Peart either wink Great band though.

I’d go as far to say the other guitarist in that band is average at best as well

Yebbut (and certainly in this parish) The Beatles come in for a lot of stick on the quality of their back catalogue.

Queen were the male version of the Spice Girls, the masses adored them yet their songs had no depth

What was all that prancing about on stage for?

Mick Jagger is below average as a singer

Oasis were at best, a pub band just with clever marketing

I think both of those opinions pale into insignificance compared with how rubbish James Hetfield is at singing.
