Well, in that same breathe I could say the Beatles are quite overrated, cause any stoner, hippie, trendite, and indiefuck will listen to them just to seem .2% edgier and elite.

Not to derail the thread, but you're missing the whole point of the beatles and their status in music history. It's not so much the music they played, but that they played it when they did. They revolutionize music, much like the stones, and for that reason they receive the acclaim and respect they do.

I'm a huge music snob, and whenever I have this discussion with people I tell them the same thing... The Beatles don't have to be your *favorite* band, because they certainly aren't mine; but it is hard to deny that they are one of, if not the *greatest* band of all time due to their influence on music and various accomplishments.

As far as why I play this game.. think people covered my reason pretty well already in this thread.
