Quincy Jones: Beatles were the "Worst Musicians in the World"
240B:
Everybody wants their 15 minutes. If I had any notoriety at all, and proclaimed that The Eagles are the worst band in 100 years, it would be picked up and broadcast worldwide even though it is nonsense. When you want press coverage, just say the stupidest thing you can think of and the press will cover it and do the rest for you.

Quincy is very talented, no doubt. However, the Beatles changed music. Quincy didn't do that as good as he was. The Beatles were both good musicians and also great writers. Sounds to me like he's got a little of the "Green Disease".

Frank Zappa - The Shaggs are “better than The Beatles” !

Hating on the Beatles: the hipsters' favorite lazy critique.
Free Vulcan:
They weren't the worst musicians. They were by far not the best either. They were solid and maybe slightly above average.
But they could craft some of the most creative and mind blowing songs ever laid to vinyl that moved rock-n-roll in a whole different direction.
