Tell me one reason why this song is bad besides “it’s granny music”

Tell me one reason why this song is bad besides “it’s granny music”

I don't think it's bad, I just never feel like listening to it because it's so cutesy while being about a vicious serial murderer. Is the tonal clash supposed to be funny? Because it's not really all that funny

How can a song about a psycho killer, armed only with a hammer be considered "Granny shit"?
This song is GOAT!

In B4 Boyband Fag

It's corny granny shit

It's no different than anything Steely Dan, or Pink Floyd would've done.

Back in the day it had shock value, these days it's just goofy and nonsensical.

I refer you to the reply above yours...

Die in a fire toe jam fag.

for the record its one of his best granny tunes like when i'm 64. the doc made it even better cause the notion of paul making them practice maxwell for hours on end is fucking hilarious. somebody post that image with him holding the hammer

The variety in their music is what made the Beatles great, Lennon was just being a faggot because he can’t write about anything but himself

Paul’s granny shit is honestly better than most dad rock with their it’s le hecking epic guitar solo, I’m such a rocker xDDD sound.

Thank you for noticing my post, and paying attention to me.
You have a nice, empty head.
I like living here.

"I am the walrus" is granny shit, too. and thats a lennon track.

Maybe try not having a recognizable posting style

Anon Babble used to hate this band btw, not that you posted here before 2016 and would remember

It’s not “granny music…it’s “kiddie music”

Maybe try not having a recognizable posting style

WTF does that even mean?

You know full well what I mean, faggot. Your posting style gives yourself away.

Oh, look who showed up.
Somebody just as hated as I am.
Pettey soon the both of us are going to be fighting it out for head spaces to occupy, since we bot seem to live in many people's heads....

No, I don't know what that means.
What, exactly, is "Posting style"?
Please explain.

Its shit because that side already has octopus's garden which is easily the superior goofy song

Mrs. Vandebilt

Any ideas on how I should decorate the inside of your head?
I mean, if I'm going to be living inside it.....

I'm doing what, right now?
What, exactly, am I doing?
Your post makes no sense.
I just see a pathetic loser who is having a meltdown because they can't ignore me.

I wonder if there's a good echo in here.....

TOW JAM

TOE JAM

TOE JAM

TOE JAM

TOE JAM.....

I've heard better echos, but it'll do, I guess....

always amused by John labeling Paul's music "granny shit" when he made rock and roll slop with porn sax

It's kind of a boring song by Beatles standards. The melody is boring, the chords are boring, it doesn't groove, it doesn't swing, the lyrics are fine but not super clever, and the tempo is too slow. If you play it at 1.25 speed on Youtube it is better IMO.

I think it's funny that Beefheart and Zappa are so often accused of making circus music, but the Beatles produced songs like this that actually sound like circus music and never face the accusation

It's not bad, not great either, it just has the infamous reputation of being the recording that supposedly caused the breakup of the band. It is said to have gone for weeks. Beatles fans just hate it on this basis, just as Radiohead fans hate Creep for being on their bad album (and honestly, the song is somewhat good, just not very interesting).

Frank Zappa and Capt. Beefheart never made any music that was honest. None of it is good, by the way.

Ram is arguably 50% granny shit it just fits the albums vibe

beefheart never made honest music

Listen to observatory crest you absolute pleb

The recording process of Maxwell's Silver Hammer drew unfavourable comments from Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Lennon said, "I was ill when they did most of that track, and it really ground George and Ringo into the ground recording it", adding later: "I hate it, 'cos all I remember is the track, Paul did everything to make it into a single, and it never was and it never could have been."[14] In the recollection of engineer Geoff Emerick, Lennon dismissed it as "more of Paul's granny music".[15] Harrison recalled: "Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs. I mean, my God, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' was so fruity. After a while we did a good job on it, but when Paul got an idea or an arrangement in his head …"[16] Starr told Rolling Stone in 2008: "The worst session ever was 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.' It was the worst track we ever had to record. It went on for fucking weeks. I thought it was mad."

Absolute chad forcing the other lads to play his shitty granny songs millions of times.

Among Beatles biographers, Ian MacDonald said that "If any single recording shows why The Beatles broke up, it's 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'." He continued: This ghastly miscalculation – of which there are countless equivalents on [McCartney's] garrulous sequence of solo albums – represents by far his worst lapse of taste under the auspices of The Beatles … Thus Abbey Road embraces both extremes of McCartney: the clear-minded, sensitive caretaker of The Beatles in 'You Never Give Me Your Money' and the Long Medley – and the immature egotist who frittered away the group's patience and solidarity on sniggering nonsense like this.[23]

Author Jonathan Gould cites "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" as an example of the selfishness inherent in the Beatles' creative partnership, whereby a composition by McCartney or Lennon would be given preference over a more substantial song by Harrison.[24] He also rues McCartney's penchant for a light entertainment style that the Beatles had sought to render obsolete, and concludes:

The sorriest aspect of 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is thus the way it demonstrates how Paul's workmanlike tendency to build on his past successes had caused him to translate the genuinely charming novelty and subversive parody of 'When I'm Sixty-Four' into a personal subgenre of glibly clever songs that had devolved in the two years since Sgt. Pepper into a form of musical schtick.[25]

In 2009, PopMatters editor John Bergstrom concluded his list "the worst of the Beatles" with the song. He said that while McCartney had previously created "some borderline-schmaltzy, music hall-inspired songs", "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was "where even the secret admirer of 'Rocky Raccoon' must draw the line". Bergstrom described it as "Unnervingly 'cute', unrelentingly obnoxious, too literal-minded by half" and "the single Beatles song out of nearly 200 that is basically unlistenable".[26]

holy filtered plebs, MSH is better than both of the George songs on AR.

True. But to be fair, George was pajeet trash so accomplishing anything beyond shitting in the street was a remarkable achievement for him.

A heroin-addicted liberal beatnik hippie communist music professor was teaching a class on John Lennon, a known wife-beating peace activist.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Lennon and accept that "Imagine" was the greatest former Beatle album the world has ever known, greater than anything by Paul McCartney!"

At this moment, a brave, patriotic granny who had bought the entire Paul McCartney discography and understood the genius of "Ob-la-di ob-la-da" and supported all musical decisions made by Paul McCartney stood up and held aloft an album.

"What is this rubbish?" the arrogant professor smirked quite Yoko-Ono-ishly, "Looks like shitty muzak for grannies."

"Wrong. It’s "Band on the Run", the best-selling former Beatle solo album with more than 8 million copies sold worldwide." the granny replied calmly but firmly, "If "Imagine", as you say, is better… then it should have sold more."

The professor was visibly shaken and dropped his chalk and copy of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. He stormed out of the room crying his wife-beater crocodile tears.

The students applauded as cheers erupted. They all took the Grannypill that day and accepted Paul McCartney as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Billy Shears" flew into the room and perched atop the British Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was sung several times, and a bunch of Scottish bagpipers showed up and played "Mull of Kintyre".

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He was later shot by a deranged American lunatic and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.

Getting Paul Pilled is the only true way to become an adult

Kill yourselves.

Beefheart was barely functional enough to avoid psychiatric institutionalization, he wouldn't have been capable of making dishonest music to impress future hipsters
