Hi Idiots.

It's a well-known fact that Hot Wings is one of the biggest Beatles fans today. His encyclopedic knowledge of a band that only lasted 7 years, but managed to become "more popular than Jesus" and have one of the most impactful musical careers ever.

"There are many reasons I love The Beatles. The sheer amount of amazing material they put out in just 8 years is remarkable. It’s varied, evolutionary, and, in some cases, revolutionary. To go from Love Me Do to Helter Skelter to Let It Be is mind-blowing. All their songs sound different and are often instantly recognizable.

 

They incorporated a wide range of different styles and genres. They have songs for every situation and mood. They inspired thousands of other bands. I know not everyone loves them, but anyone who thinks The Beatles are overrated is just wrong. My favorite album changes all the time, but today it’s Rubber Soul."
