Meh – about half their stuff is decent enough as light pop, while the rest blows. It depends on how much acid they were on at the time. That was the problem with bands of that time – they were so strung out most of the time that “live” performances were almost unintelligible. The worst of the lot for that was Led Zepplin. Never get a LZ live album… you’re just wasting your money. At least when they were in the studio, the label lackeys were able to keep them clean enough that they could remember the lyrics and play their instruments.
Well, sure, if you don’t count the facts that just about every single thing they released changed the face of rock music and influenced other genres, thousands (tens of thousands? Could be) of covers of their songs have been done, and more come out every year, even more than 40 years after they broke up, they pretty much invented the music video and the stadium concert, and that nearly every song on every album wouldn’t sound out of place if it were released as a single as-is today… yeah, they’re just a generic boy band. Just sayin.
White Album in Technicolor!
Digitally remastered and even better.
But that song’s on Abbey Road…
