I subscribe the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" theory of music--most bands have at least one or two tracks that I'll allow are quite good (which is why I took Elton John and Sting off my original list). But the aforementioned have no redeeming qualities, in my opinion. No, not even the precious beloved Beatles.

The Beatles.
Quite honestly, I simply find it hard to believe that anyone who genuinely likes guitar-based pop music can find nothing whatsoever to like in The Beatles, unless they've really just shut the door to it and stopped listening.
OK, if you're a metalhead, or strictly a hip hop fan, or into cruel industrial noise, but as a Morrissey fan? Just makes no sense to me. I'm with EPbabe on U2 though, only I'd make that "post-Rattle and Hum".
Agreed, there'd never been a The Smiths without The Beatles, no doubt.
