Yeah, the black blues artists from the south were overrated too...
 
(Maybe you just need to watch some documentaries on where the music of the last 30+ years comes from.)

L & M also wrote a whole bunch of stuff for other bands back in the 60's, didn't they?


Several songs yes, but a whole bunch may be pushing it a bit far.

If you read my original post you'll see that it wasn't about being a fan. The more I learn about song writing and composition, the more I admire the quality of their collective work. And let's not forget what they and George Martin did with a 4 track studio. They were pioneers. IF you think they're over-rated, then have the stones to post some of your own work as a comparison. Show me how you've left the frigging Beatles in the dust with your master work.

Wiki lists about 25, quite a few for Billy J Kramer.

I would never say that, personally. I just wasn't a massive fan at the time. I do have one Beatles album in my collection... Revolver.

To say that The Beatles were not greatness is like saying that Leo Fender and Les Paul had no influence on the guitar industry.
