<<What merits, MUSICALLY SPEAKING, do the Beatles and Harrison in particular
hold in order to justify all that appreciation ( and such reactions to
articles questioning that )? The point is VALUE, not taste.

Hmm. How about what affect music has on an individual? For myself, and
apparently many, many others, the BEATLES' music had a definite impact
emotionally. Their music made us laugh, cry, scream, and in some cases
faint. Okay, admittedly, some of that was hype. However, someone somewhere
was affected in some way by the sounds coming from their bodies (vocals) and
their instruments.
Think about it. One woman speaks with an enticing voice and asks for a
treasure of sorts. Another woman demands it the same treasure in a
screeching voice. They use the same words but different voice patterns.
Sound definitely has an effect on us all, one way or another.
The one likes a performer/group and another doesn't is simply matter of
opinion. Since not one of us is perfect, saying that someone doesn't deserve
the adulation they receive because of imperfections would imply that no one
should be adored.
