I no longer think they are the most overrated band ever. You see my post as an attempt to objectify taste. I assume this is because you got butt hurt because you feel like I have insulted your personal ability to make your own opinion. I could be wrong about that, but that's what I'm gathering by you being a dick about the whole thing. My advice to go "listen" to the music is not to objectify tastes, but rather for one to set aside their ego - much like I had to do - before making a hasty conclusion. If you've already done that, congrats. I was merely relaying my own experience in the matter.
Your point wasn't just that you should go in setting
aside your ego, however, but that if you did so you
would necessarily like/appreciate The Beatles.
Thus, you've necessarily objectified taste with
The Beatles representing "good" music.
