It's one thing to simply 'not like' The Beatles. That merely demonstrates a complete lack of musical taste.
But, to consider them 'overrated'?
Weapons-grade ignorance.

I think they're overrated (no inverted commas needed). I don't like them either so I have no musical taste it seems!

Yes, it's the sheer incorrectness of saying they are 'overrated' that grates with me because the different level they were operating at (particularly later on) makes that ridiculous, frankly.
I play music for a living and do many of the same songs night after night, and I am still awestruck by many of the Beatles tunes I do, even after over 7,000 gigs.

Monumental songs, cannot be overrated and an ongoing source of inspiration for a lot of people, musicians included.

'The Analogues'.
Yes, outstanding.
Never heard of them, probably not have most people. Suspect they won't share even 1000th the level of success, despite probably being 99% as good, which is why I think all successful musicians are over rated.Yes, outstanding.
Imagine a world where everyone would get excited about and want to drive a 911 GT3 RS but they were struggling to get buyers for the 911 GT3 even priced at £20k , that is how I see the music industry.

What you are missing here is the writing of the material is the genius part. ging84 said:

Reminds me of a group of veteran session/stage musicians doing a Beatles songs tour in the Netherlands currently. Several songs were broadcasted on the telly recently and it was truly breathtaking, so good.
