Just because you neither understand nor appreciate their music does not undo the legacy they left behind that is the very reason they are, according to you,
"overrated". Their music is your opinion, and I totally get that; that is a subjective matter. What really bothers me is that you actually think this subjective matter actually correlates at all with who is
"deserving" of a chart record and who is not. For them to have such an enormous and almost unmatched spread of appeal across populations and across what has been nearly half of a century now. Their compilation album,
1, is the highest selling album of the 21st century, released in 2000, and is still charting higher than almost all of your faves' last albums to this day on the iTunes charts. They are the highest selling musical act of all time and continue to sell an enormous number of records, each day, despite having been inactive for over four decades now.
Their legacy is still widely prominent in pop culture today. Just this year, American Idol dedicated an entire night to the group (as they have done many years prior to this one) and the Lennon-McCartney songbook.
Let It Be,
Hey Jude, and
Come Together are among only a
few of their songs that have left an enormous impact on the industry.
And finally, there is no debate with regard to the enormous amount of impact they made during their seven year career, before which the group disbanded. They revolutionized the recording process and helped pave the way for future rock music acts to surface. Their level of popular demand was almost completely unprecedented in the history of popular music.
In the future, everyone welcomes you to share your opinion. I totally respect your opinion. But we won't give have a rats **** if your want to act like a pretentious ten year old who wants to undermine the legacy of an act as respected as The Beatles with little to no argument rooted in logic. They are among (if not the) biggest act of all time, so don't play around like this, it just makes you look like an idiot.

For the poll, it is highly improbably that Mariah can amass 3 more number ones at this point in her career being the type of artist she is in the electropop era, the age she is in an era highly biased toward women her age, and the fact that she failed to do it with a song as great and "controversial" as
Obsessed on her most recent effort. I would never doubt 1. 3 is a lot less likely than none at all.
