I always though of the Beatles as children's music with how simple it was. 1234 ABCD 78910 altogether now! We all live in a yellow submarine. I am the walrus coocoocachoo. Here comes the sun do do do do. Hello. Hello hello. You say goodbye. I say hello. Hello hello.

Like they sound like music written for children to me, like something appropriate for a puppet show.

Cotton's point about being repetitious is apt, but that structure has been there since the beginning, so I don't know what he's on about.

I think he was criticizing lyrics specifically and how the repetitive pop melodies cause people to sing along without consideration for what they're saying, he is suggesting that chanting lyrics can have a subliminal effect on the mental state of the listener. But I can't think of any terrible "ungodly" lyrics from the doors or the Beatles.

I'm criticizing their musicianship. While they might have a couple good moments (helter skelter), the Beatles popularized the minimalistic approach to music composition that we know as "pop music" today: maximum 4 chords per part, maximum 3 parts, every part repeats at least twice.
