Most overrated band ever.
“I’m the egg man! I’m the walrus! Coo coo cachoo!” Wow so deep.
"You and I have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead" is such a simple yet powerful lyric that captures how I feel about my relationship with my wife. Knowing we have more time in the past then what is left for us in the future is both amazing and daunting. Realizing how many great memories we made through those years. All of that captured in one line of one of their lesser songs. But, if they aren't your cup of tea, that's cool too.
That song is literally nonsense meant to confuse people who overanalyze their songs. It's not meant to be 'deep' haha.
You don't have to like them, but there's a reason why I and so many others think they're fantastic.
And what is that reason?
Because they're good! Excellent songwriting that stands the test of time.
The reason is that their promoters and managers pushed them hard by getting them played repeatedly on every radio station in North America and Western Europe and then getting them put on every popular music reviewer “best bands ever” list so that basic bitches would think “well if their music is everywhere and the corporate mandated music media says they’re good then they must be amazing!”
