I have always thought of the Beatles as a teeny-bopper group or a group who did ‘novelty’ music akin to “The Purple People Eater”, for example. Hard rock? Hardly!
“Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”? A kiddy/teeny-bopper song, for sure. Their music seemed to me to be aimed at teeny-boppers.
There are perhaps only three songs from the Beatles that I could say which I ‘like’.
Those 5 songs alone put Lennon in the top tier of songwriters.
Nowhere Man.
So many.
