@envgen what if i start food opinion discourse just to distract

@jasminehenry i can't stand pineapple on beatles

@envgen my favourite beatles track is actually 'anchovies 4 lyf'

@envgen is this one of those slow burn conflicts?

@envgen The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

@envgen

Funny how people lose context. Looking back from today's perspective, it's easy to be blind to how pioneering the Beatles were, because by today's standards they can seem tame, dated, timeworn, even *trite*. It's like underestimating the impact of the button on western fashion when it arrived from the east back in the, what was it, 13th century? Radical innovations that we take for granted today because they are ubiquitous and commonplace, Beatles and buttons both.
