They're just kind of okay and not that great. They have some good songs but it's not good enough to really get into. Plus people like to pretend that they were chill hippie dudes and John Lennon was some kind of martyr. A lot of people don't understand that you can just like someone's music without liking the person they are or were. Especially when it's a dead guy.

It's kind of cool that they influenced so many people, but that doesn't necessarily make the music all that good. It's catchy and different than what people were used to at the time, but since everybody's heard it all by now and there's more exposure to different kinds of music, less people like it.
