Do you like the ‘New, last Beatle’s Song?’

[Daily Express bot]

I heard all the hype about this and finally listened to it and personally found it unremarkable . What do others think?

[Long slender neck]

No

[Dunners]

It doesn't add anything to their legacy.

The hype unbelievable. I think Noel Gallagher reportedly ecstatic people
crying . I was more emotional about Bright Eyes, although that was just Paul and Linda.

[CEB]

It’s alright, it’s pretty much what I expected, which is itself against the spirit of the Beatles, I guess. But it’s for those who love the Beatles, and as a last little treat it’s fair enough

[BIGRON]

I love the Beatles music , I don't like this song one bit

[Friend or fart]

Sounded like it has been released 50 years too late.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

It was nice to hear them all together and there’s something about their sound that is magical.

But this song wouldn’t have got on any of their albums in the form it’s been released. Not a big fan

[BIGRON]

Been watching the Beatles on Utube tonight , even watched a bit of the Rutles ( Eric idle ) rip off , pleasantly pleased and pissed , good night all

I found the official video quite cringeworthy to be perfectly honest.

[Dunners]

So we're broadly in agreement on something.

Yeah saw it last night. Looks pretty crap

[oxo]

Pretty bland, yeah.

Best British band ever, though.

Below average song by an incredibly overrated band

Clueless

The video has a vibe about it as if James Corden is about to turn up and do that laugh

Fully agree, a bland cobbled up song that as you say .....
''this song wouldn’t have got on any of their albums in the form it’s been released''

It properly looks like two dads have dressed up as Harrison and Lennon and got up on stage whilst a tribute band play at a local pub.

I know AI is supposed to be the greatest thing since oxygen but in this case it just looks completely naff

I mean, my previous post was sort of nonsensical. I don’t actually think it makes sense to talk about any band being ‘the best’ — music isn’t a sport. That said, I’m curious as to whether there’s a British band you consider ‘better’ than the Beatles?

Can’t think of one I enjoy more.

Most people under 25 would probably agree

The Smiths. Better songs overall. Better lyricist. Better instrumentalists. Rated probably the correct amount.

I’m not saying the Beatles are sh*t. Just that they aren’t the perfect great band most people claim. Their best albums have dud songs on them. A handful of great and iconic songs, nothing more.

[CEB]

It’s not measurable. The contrast between the Smiths and the Beatles is a great one, as The Smiths music absolutely takes what is out there already and develops it, pushes it somewhere different.
What The Beatles did was realise the potential of the art form, growing from a very basic band into one that was doing relatively mad stuff. Other bands did mad stuff too, but The Beatles carved out the path

Very good post. It’s hard to understand them with the context of the time and not living through that I can’t even comprehend. They were doing things that broke ground with every album; from songs to lyrics to studio techniques. And for the amount of songs they wrote the quality is astounding m. Like 95% success rate imo

[CEB]

I think it’s maybe reasonable to say they’re the definitive British band, or even the definitive rock n roll band, but best is objective. Especially because when they were bad, they were very bad. There are plenty of bands with better quality control
