I also agree that the early Beatles music was pop garbage, and most people are under the impression that they continued to sound like that. People that missed The White Album cause they were going through their Steve Vai phase.
Dale- I actually own the White Album but I never could get it play backwards!!

To paraphrase what the world class cynic H.L.Mencken said many years ago: Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the... public.

The actual quote I've seen two different ways and am not sure if they're both Mencken or one is a paraphrase. Here's the whole thing: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." Substitute the word intelligence in that line and you have another quote attributed to Mr. Mencken.

Andy, I liked RHCP until I heard their atrocious cover of Subterranean Homesick Blues. It's laughable.

Kelly Clarkson (I don't know if that's how you spell her last name) and Heart. Kelly can sing good ya and Heart has good riffs but I can't stand listening to them. Sorry fans of them.

I'll add one more to my previous list: Billy Joel (high gag factor for me).
Do you realize how many albums those "rejects" have sold? Mind boggling!!
