BOTS V - Round 3 - Beatlemania

[Comrade Khan]

I mean there’s a million ways to gauge a songs popularity and there’s no one definitive answer I guess lol. Here Comes the Sun is their most streamed song on Spotify which means one way or another more people have listened to it on that app than any other song. Obviously there’s many other factors though.

yeah end of the day just means a bunch of their songs have passed the test of time.

they are Just Four Guys.

Remove one - its become something different.​

Without Ringo the Beatles are not as good, it's a hot take but also very true because John, George, and Paul all realized he was the glue and heart of the band, and the most respected between the three.

Also The White Album is honestly their best flowing album just because every piece works in conjunction with one another. Rubber Soul obviously is their most consistent album and the one that is best in one listen through but White Album is their truest selves.

these are all What If questions end of day - not what was.

Listened to a bunch of Beatles this week before and after this round was created. I kind of always thought it but Magical Mystery Tour is their most underrated album, imo, for sure.

Usually anyone that disrespects Ringo as a drummer isn't a musician. He swings and it's his natural playing style, nothing forced. He might not be Bonham or Peart, but he's a lot better than most people think he is.

God these matchups are insane.

Fancy doesn’t equal good. Ringo always did exactly what he had to do. Made every song excellent with his simplistic yet beautiful drumming. The man is one of the most reliable musicians of all time.

Let's not get crazy.

I'm not sure where "fancy" came from, but there are physical cans and can'ts. Ringo is very good at what he does, but he literally can't do a lot of things behind the drums. Remember, he wasn't even the best drummer in the band...he actually may not be playing in the song.

great choice @Hayterade good luck!

 

[Comrade Khan]

some impossible matchups too, love it

What? That comment about him not being the best drummer in the band was a joke.

this is very fair, he never really did much for me but I never thought he sucked or anything. idk I guess to me that's like 95% of drummers, you rarely notice them unless they are horrible or incredible

They're there to keep time...if they JUST do that, then they're doing their jobs perfectly.
