Overrated.
The Beatles just copied US music styles. There was nothing original about them.

If you're going to troll, there has to be at least a *suggestion* of truth, even if it's a misrepresentation of it.
The best you can say for your argument is that Lennon/McCartney were heavily influenced by Buddy Holly. Still, the Beatles influenced others more than they were influenced by a factor of 100.
Here’s another thing we have in common, my friend: we coach the truly dimwitted among the trolls. I once met a “woman” through a dating site. We started texting. I knew it was a scam, because “she” wanted to see pics of my home and asked what my credit score is. (I sent neither.) Shortly into the correspondence “she” sent a text I could see was stollen. It took me like 5 seconds to find the book and the author whence the plagiarism came. I told “her”about “her” theft. The reply (brace yourself)? “I made that up with my own brain.” I wrote: “Look, when this happens again—and it WILL happen again, because you’re stupid—don’t make it worse by denying it. Say, ‘You’re right. I did steal it—but you’re so intelligent that I wanted to impress you. Can you forgive me😢?’”
Yeah, those damned Brits keep copying American rock, and somehow generally do it better than we can. And the Brits REALLY suck at the Blues!
LOL.
I'm ashamed to say that my younger brother was all excited about corresponding with a woman overseas many years ago. He showed me the emails, and not one email reply he got answered anything he specifically asked her. Just cut and paste generic letters. Once I explained it to him, the light went off and he realized I was right - to his credit.
The wife and I were watching a Dr. Phil about catfishing, and there are people on his show who are "engaged" to people they never met in person, never spoke to on the phone, and had sent them thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and are in "love"..
Unreal!
Unreal, and extremely lucrative. The bozo I was texting with was a Sakawa Boy. They are a well-organized group in Ghana, who basically own the government and military in that country. Google it. Internet scamming is now a $2 TRILLION per year business. That’s staggering. BTW, I am convinced that the Sakawa Boys are in cahoots with Google, because the Boys largely function through Google Hangouts and through the site where I met “her,” which Google rates as the #1 Dating Site. That’s a very illicit synergy. Yes, many lonely, very nice but far-too-trusting people are being destroyed by these parasites. When I send 1 of them my “gotcha” final message, I say, “There is a very special place in Hell waiting for you when you die.”
Glad to make you laugh.
I don't understand why smart people would watch Dr Phil but whatever

You're assuming I'm smart? [shrug]. Still, I'm going to take that as a compliment sir.
I watch TV shows my wife likes as penance for watching Shawshank Redemption 423 times so far. Plus, making her sit through The Simpsons might even get me a hundred years in purgatory I guess.
Still, I actually like Dr. Phil.
So...people who post things you don't agree with are 'trolls'? Did you cry when you didn't win that award in school?

I *did* win that award in school!!!
But yes, it's trolling when you a conclusive statement about music that no person knowledgeable in music would say, or haven't said yet. Now, you might very well be right, but such a statement that goes against everything most people with musical knowledge would say requires a citation of a song or style from another artist that would support your claim that the Beatles only copied U.S. music styles.
With no citation or any other reasonable argument, your unsupported blanket statement alone does indeed fit the characterization of trolling.

Well, cry a river because, uh, either you accept other people's opinions or, you stay off the internet. Nice one. :)
shareThe third option is to stand up against manifest assholes, like strntz is doing. Y’see, the smarter you are, the more options you can see.
No wonder that you deleted yourself. Please don’t procreate.
