John Lennon is a different story. I like him.
Lennon was a twat - but I like lots of his Beatles music. I think he's easily the most unlikeable Beatle but everyone loves him as the cool one - so WTF do I know?
Harrison is my favourite
I like McCartney because it's not the done thing to do.
However, I always feel that we may have lost the best years of Harrison. I don't know much about writing music but I tend to think that Harrison may have had some pumping tunes in his head in the early Beatles days when L&M were dominating.
His solo album in the 80s had some decent stuff on it

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying that he didn't write some awesome songs, but I think that maybe (and this is off the top of my head with nothing to back it up) that there's a type of song that younger musicians write (more raw) and he had little opportunity to record them. I'm sure some of his early solo stuff was from his younger days but I feel that he may have reworked some of it etc. If any of that rambling makes sense?
This could also be a reflection of my preference for early Beatles stuff.

@Nepia the later stuff was more experimental whereas the early stuff sounded like they recorded it their garage. My mum is a big Beatles fan, so by extension was I. Funny that I actually prefer to listen to the Stones now, their music has aged well. I like Harrison's solo stuff too

I'm not a Stones fan, don't really like any of their stuff - I think we had a thread where we discussed them.
I prefer the recorded in the garage stuff, although TBF I like the later (experimental) stuff too.

@Nepia Sgt Pepper still sounds great
I tend to prefer The White Album and Revolver over Sgt Pepper - although I still think Tomorrow Never Knows is utter bollocks even though "music critics" love it - way too busy.

Hating the most popular band of all time... ooooh! You're all so edgy and hip
except @mariner4life who gave up his hipster beard and is just a shouty old man now.I don't particularly fanboi on the Beatles - there are some absolute classics there that, harmonically, are structured in a way that nobody else was able to replicate. And there was a lot of shit as well.
The rating was for the film itself.

I put the Beatles success down to the amount of LSD their fans took.
That may have been true from a certain point, but would be ignoring the first 3-4 years of their pop stuff before Sgt Pepper.
As for Ed Sheeran - dude can rock a stadium, and for a gormless ranga with coke bottle glasses is clearly doing something right. Respect.
If you want to really hate on a band for producing nothing but shit, try The Doors.
Doors are sensational. ‘Roadhouse Blues’, ‘Light my Fire’ and ‘LA Woman’ are bonafide classic rock songs. I don’t have much time for Morrison’s poetry wank but he remains one of the coolest frontmen who ever lived.
The odd good song here and there aside I think both the Beatles and Stones are massively overrated. From that era I’ll take Zep, the Who, Deep Purple, Floyd, Sabbath or Hendrix over them in a heartbeat.

Doors are sensational
People only liked their "songs" because they were stoned
Roadhouse Blues is an inspirational tune about alcohol abuse. What part of ‘woke up this morning and I got myself a beer’ do you not understand ?

Wrong way I reckon ... all stoned people liked their songs. Non stoners less so.

Whaka Yeah
How George Harrison – and a very naughty boy – saved British cinema
The Beatle loved Monty Python so much, he set up HandMade Films to make Life of Brian – and rehabilitated the UK movie industry. But the studio’s fun couldn’t last
