This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — Who is the most overrated band of all time?
Steve delivers the opinion of the Council, joined by Djere, Josh, and David:
The Beatles. They were incredibly influential, but this influence FAR outstripped their talent. Their singing voices were poor and their lyrics were either insipid pablum or drug-crazed nonsense.
David concurs, joined by MC-B:
The Beatles-They were a product of their age and rode the wave.
Mike dissents, joined by Chloe:
U2. I just don’t get it. There’s some good stuff, no doubt, but I just don’t get most of it.
Connie dissents:
Bob Dylan. HE SIMPLY CANNOT SING!!!!
Erin dissents:
N’Sync. Just face it, people, the boy band was the worst musical catastrophe ever.
Job dissents:
The Ramones. A socially awkward band tethered to a few chords, they have seemingly come to embody teen angst through no effort of their own.
Tom joins this dissenting opinion:
Green Day. From their faux-punk eyelinker to their faux-intellectual lyrics, they are the true “American Idiots.”
Kaitlin played no part in the determination of this issue.
Next time: Who will be the next president of the United States?

As much as I enjoy the Beatles, it’s extremely hard to argue a dissenting opinion when such a supremely accurate phrase like insipid pablum has been used. One cannot deny that.
I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah,
