The Beatles serve as a useful acid test to me

    Lennon was a questionable dude in a bunch of ways (beater, philanderer, homophobe, race issues etc). But most of my Beatles hatred is because they weren’t very good at music. Don’t take my word for it? Here’s Quincy Jones’s take on the subject: https://www.spin.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-the-beatles-interview/
    
    The Beatles serve as a useful acid test to me because if they’re in someone’s collection/haul/post, I know that I can safely discount/ignore their opinions. This post, and OP, are an exception to this rule because the linked content is using the white album to create something new, it’s basically sampling, pulling a Duchamp etc. Grey Album whips ass also.
