No, it's not a bad adjective. I think that people think too highly of the Beatles. I don't think they are a BAD band or that they were not influential, but I do think that critics and listeners give them TOO much credit. Hell, they couldn't even do a live show for half of their career and relied on studios and tape loops to make their music for them. I hate to bring Pink Floyd into it, but they used the same if not more electronics, synthesizers, etc. and they could still play it all live.
