    Before you say the Beatles are overrated try stuff like Helter Skelter, A Day In the Life, and Tomorrow never Knows. The Beatles were the creators of many of the modern day genres. In fact, listen to the whole of the white album and see just how many genres they perform with total ease and then tell me they are overrated.

      It seems Gen Z have a very narrow corridor of “music” they listen to,whereas we in the 70’s would play a whole album all the way through and have a very eclectic library of music.
      I was forced to listen to the top 10 the other day and it was awful in the extreme.

      I always laugh when people say "Beatles were overrated". They're still getting new fans today, still listened to and beloved by millions and their latest single went straight to No.1(not bad for a group that formed 63 years ago). The word "overrated" is meaningless anyway, as it's based on subjective opinion.

      @nzlemming 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not everyone was a singer/songwriter, even in the 70's. Elton only wrote the music, not the lyrics, for example and many of the songs in this vid were not written by the artistes who performed them. Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman were the Stock Aitken Waterman of the 70's and wrote huge numbers of hits through into the 90's, with Blondie and Huey Lewis as just two of their customers. It's a mistake to think of all artistes of the era as writing their own songs, though quite a number did. The Beatles was one of the first bands that did write their own songs, and they wrote songs for other artistes, but even they did covers on their first few albums. Help had 2 covers on it as well.

    Pretty great line-up, you can see Abba and Bee Gees really picking up steam. I don't think Rolling Stones are better than The Beatles, The Beatles wrote the Stones first hit. They were friends, the closest thing to a rivalry was probably The Stones being originally billed as the 'bad boy' alternative to them. All 4 Beatles had solo hits, where you saw their individual strengths and weaknesses, but they were greater together. The best way to understand their greatness is probably listening to the musical progression of their albums, particularly from 1965-69, from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road they were unstoppable.

      Ahead of time usually means that they were pioneers of some genre. Then there are those that do something so different that it bypasses time completely, creating a parallel timeline. She has been an inspiration to a LOT of artists but has anyone done the same, made songs like was on The Kick Inside album? She is her own genre.
      BTW, David Gilmour produced that album, she had some major names backing her up at the time. Not a surprise, i've head demo version of Wuthering Heights and it is clear immediately that she is something entirely different, making something that the world has to hear, no matter the costs. Very significant album in music history, but also, very unique. Her later albums are great but the first one is special. If i believed in spirits, they would be involved. The way she uses chord progressions and melody is just amazing, they are worth a deeper study if you are a musician.

      Pink Floyd was very much an album band and hardly released any singles but perhaps Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 might feature at the very start of a similar video about the most popular songs of the 1980s? I seem to recall it was a Christmas No. 1 in the UK in 1979 and topped the charts for several weeks so it might have been the best selling song in January 1980.

You should also do the '60s and '80s compilations of these at least (I know you seemed a bit negative about the '80s, but give it a try - you might be pleasantly surprised at how many iconic songs there are and how good they still sound today). You're right about how fascinating it is to see transitions too - not just of hairstyles, but of fashions and general trends in musical presentation, dancing, etc.

    *70s and 80s were definitely not carefree times*
    Vietnam War, Watergate, Three Mile Island Accident, Tenerife Airport Disaster, US Embassy in Iran taken hostage, Falklands War, Chernobyl Disaster
    to name just a handful...
    As a young teen in the 1980s, I wondered why we never heard much from Donna Summer. She had a few hits that were all top notch.
    Only a few years ago I found out she made a lot more music but it's just that most of the lyrics were 'very adult.'

    some brief facts for you: The BeeGees were brothers. Andy Gibb was not part of the group but was the youngest of the brothers; Roberta Flack's hit KILLING ME SOFTLY was revived by Lauren Hill and the Fuggees; The British group THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN & ABBA & BOCCARA & CLIFF RICHARD all were in Eurovision. both BTM and ABBA won with their songs presented here. This was my era. i had a blast enjoying it with you.

    I would put the Beatles just ahead of the Stones because of the sheer volume of great songs & the way the Beatles experimented & changed music forever. With the help of the Great Sir George Martin (whose background was in classical music). But I absolutely love the Stones. But John Lennon was so talented. A true great. I personally don't have a favourite band. Far too many fantastic bands. It all depends on what mood you're in, while listening to music.

    As far as I'm aware, only two Beatles scored successfully as solo artists.
    Also, one got shot in the US so we don't know how HIS life might have turned out. I think this also impacted on how they viewed continuation as a group in later years.

    0:30 "Bridge over troubled water" is one of Simon & Garfunkel's most famous songs. "Here comes the sun is The Beatles. And even if you don't like their music - The Beatles are not overrated. ☺
    1:58 Yup.
    2:43 In my opinion Beatles are better.
    3:21 Cher's biggest hit was with Sonny & Cher "I got you babe". She's a really cool cat and done some good acting as well.
    4:43 You should listen to the live version of this. It's great! 😄
    5:27 This is one of my fav songs ever. So emotional but with a "happy" tune.
    6:53 Pretty much the same here. But a sad song.
    12:56 Andy Gibb was the younger brother of Maurice, Robin and Barry who was The Bee Gees.
    14:09 Yes. Bee Gees and ABBA were really big in this era.
    14:45 "Grease" was written by the Bee Gees... They were amazing.

    I started out thinking this was in America, and then it got weird with songs that weren't hits there... reading the blurb under the original video, it seems it's an attempt to do an international list using chart placings from lots of different countries. Kinda props to them for giving it a go, I guess.

    George Harrison was the first Beatle to have a No.1 single in the UK after their split. Not that he saw much from it, as he was taken to court for plagiarism ('My Sweet Lord' was ruled essentially the same melody as 'He's so fine' by 1960s girl group The Chiffons).

    The problem with not knowing the artists behind the music is of course that it makes it more difficult to find more music of a similar kind that you like.
    Otherwise, I agree with most people here, the seventies (and sixties) were about musicians and music, not about image, production, technical aids and marketing. Most of the artists on this list wrote their own music and were talented (or great) instrumentalists and singers.
    Today, chart music is mostly about big labels with massive marketing resources and streamlined factory-produced muzak where a lack of talent is easily hidden behind technical aids such as auto-tune etc.

    Correct - the 70's was the disco era. Great to see you boogie along! And yes, that was Paul McCartney on a couple of clips. He had a successful run with his band 'Wings' after the Beatles' split. I agree that the 70's & 80's felt more care free - but perhaps it was because I was younger then.

    The 1970s was an amazing decade to live through, Connor. Though just a small child at the start, and a decidedly troubled school-leaver at the end, who never had the confidence to be part of the in-crowd at school and therefore enjoy all the big hits at the time; I certainly remember and feel that I know all of these songs - and many more that never made it to the number one spot! I well remember Eve Graham and the New Seekers, teaching the world to sing and then telling us that Coke was the real thing, Roy Wood wishing it could be Christmas everyday; the newly-appointed Queen Sonja of Sweden hiotting the headlines as the real Dancing Queen, at her wedding ball; and the compromise that allowed girls to wear dark trousers instead of skirts at school, providing they wore their school ties (all of which followed-on from Bay City Roller-mania, that made tartan fashionable again); and doing the3 Slosh at the school disco!! It was a decade of industrial unrest, power cuts, poverty, strikes, shortages, and massive unemployment - and yet, the very best music emerges in those times and it is memorable in ways that no other compares with. It was when this racist and sexist nation began looking at itself differently - though that would be a much longer process that anyone imagined, and if you look at those musicians now, you'll see the beginnings of today's gender politics emerging for the first time too. It should have been the springboard to modern Britain and would have been - had it not been for what followed. But that's another decade, and another story!
