I don’t really think it’s because she “broke up the Beatles” or because she was mean to people or even because her singing is awful.  It’s that her singing and personality was forcefully inserted into music that was then forced on us due to the popularity of her husband.  Listen to “So this is Christmas” - it starts out as another lovely John Lennon song and then there she is, braying and shrieking and it’s ruined.  On Lennon’s last LP, Double Fantasy, every other track is Yoko.  Why not put all of her songs onto one side?  Because no one would have played that side.  It was forced on us.

It’s EXACTLY how I feel about having the crappy, auto-tuned idiotic blather that is popular today blared at me everywhere I go.  She was just ahead of the curve.

I went to look it up; turns out that I HAD heard that rendition before, but I had no idea who John or Yoko were at the time. If you hadn't told me, I would have assumed the screeching was due to a wall of out-of-tune children who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Holy crap that's bad.
