Ringo as a drummer was hugely underrated and it was him joining the band which actually took them to the heights they eventually got to
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles. Famously.

However he married the best looking woman of the 4 of them

I doubt anyone will give a flying **** about 1D in five years, let alone 50
----------------------------------------------------------------------
over a decade on and we are talking about them ....... didnt think that one through did ye?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

People still talk about Rick Astley 🤷🏻‍♂️
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hugely popular is Rick. I guess we have to put him up with the very greatest on this basis.

people still talk about Donny Osmond and the Bay City Rollers.

Eminem’s first three albums were amazing, after that, utter crap. He’s now gotten to such an annoying / superfluous level that it even taints his old stuff for me.

If we’re going for actual rappers (lyrical content and flow, as opposed to production), in no order:

Biggie
Nas
MF DOOM
Big L
Toss up between Kendrick, Jay, Andre

My top five hip hop artists (everything said), no order:

Wu Tang
Kanye
Biggie
Dre
A tribe called quest

Cole is a honourable mention, but he doesn’t have an album that’s cover to cover brilliant.

Best five hip hop albums:

36 Chambers
Liquid Swords
College dropout
Low end theory
Read to die

In fairness, every one of those lists would change, contingent on my mood, the day, the year, and simply what I can remember in the instance of writing a post 😂😂

Both were just the boy bands of their time.... 100% pure pop boy bands and were both marketed as such.

Lol. Nurse, more meds for the troll
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the beatles were the original OG boy band ffs .... they had literal hordes of 12-16yr old girls screaming their heads of for them

Unfortunately that is one of those famous apocryphal sayings that never happened. Ringo was an exceptional drummer who was hugely important to the Beatles success. Pete Best was holding them back. It took Ringo’s drum talent to make the band a lot tighter as a unit.

Well, it was a famous quote, by John... But it was clearly a joke.

Ringo was an amazing, ground breaking drummer. His fill work on Sgt Peppers is widely regarded as some of the best drum work ever put on record.. And the drumming on songs like "Tomorrow never knows" literally changed music.

after that, utter crap

Someone hasn’t listened to Eminem after 2010 as he’s been superb since then

And he never said it! It was Jasper Carrott

Yea, it seems to be some kind of folklore BS...

"Several years ago, Beatles scholar Mark Lewisohn tracked down the origin of the insult, and determined it was first said not by Lennon (nor by the other two Beatles, Paul McCartney and George Harrison), but rather by comedian Philip Pope in an episode of the BBC’s “Radio Active” comedy program on October 6, 1981. Through others sharing the jibe by word of mouth, the fiction that Lennon was the original source became attached to it."

Anyone with ears should be able to tell that Ringo was an amazing drummer.

Eminem's last 2/3 albums have all been decent.

Not as good as his first 3 but that's a pretty high bar to match.

An artist that has been divisive to me personally is Lana Del Ray... I used to truly dislike her music... Now I consider her one of the best artists out there and have reevaluated her earlier work that I disliked.

Funny how, usually through over saturation, you can build up an opinion of someone's music based on a couple of songs.

I’ve always been a fan. One of the most underrated songs of the past 10 years is National Anthem. Cut that song apart and there’s so many layers of excellence.

The Beetles were just the one direction of their day.

I will never see a more stupid comment than this on this site.

I always thought Lana would make a great Bond song given half the chance.

No Illmatic in that top 5??

Im gonna go against the grain on this but Ed Sheeran is an absolute genuis.

the fact he can stand in front of 90,000 people with just him and guitar and make it sound like he is being accompanied by a full band is nothing short of brilliant

another one but hurt i insulted his favourite boy band.

In no way have I said anything negative about the bealtes.

boyband : a pop group composed of young men whose music and image are designed to appeal primarily to a young teenage audience.

thats exactly what the beatles were at very least for the first half of their careers. during the first half of their careers their fanbase was predominantly a younger teenage fanbase ... the very definition of a boy band

I really got into her when she joined up with writer/producer Jack Antonoff, who i'm a big fan of.... But those earlier albums are very good.

I don’t like boy bands.

Have another go at displaying your massive ignorance.

Doubt it'll be divisive, especially on here, but if we're talking bands/artists you never got the hype with then for me it's the 1975. They get talked about on the radio like they're one of the best bands going.

Doesn't help the lead singer is ridiculously far up his own @rse and seems to think he's a lyrical genius when most of their songs are what you'd write at 15.

during the first half of their careers their fanbase was predominantly a younger teenage fanbase
———-

In the early 90s I went to see Guns and Roses during their Use Your Illusion tour. The crowd was full of younger teenage girls.

Guns and Roses, famed boy band.

if you like the beatles then yes you do or did like at least one boyband, i didnt say you liked other ones?

again the definition of boyband is :

a pop group composed of young men whose music and image are designed to appeal primarily to a young teenage audience.

are you saying this didnt describe the first half of the beatles career?

You seem to think when I say boyband its derogatory and as such seem to have a problem with that accurate description of what they were at the time

Even if we are to take whodunnit's post on face value, that the Beatles were marketed as a boy band, pop group... It's a weak analogy.

They were not manufactured, they were not picked on their looks, they didn't have a team of song writers, they weren't purposely aired on national TV every week and given songs by the most powerful pop mogul of the time.

They were given suits and a haircut. That's about where any similarity ends.
