What did Frank Sinatra think of The Beatles?

Why Frank Sinatra hated The Beatles?

"Rock and roll smells phony and false,” Sinatra said in 1957. “It is sung and written for the most part by cretinous goons… it manages to be the martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth…[It] is the most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.”

Frank Sinatra famously covered Something by George Harrison and called it "the best Lennon/McCartney song ever written."

John Lennon said that "Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out" was written and arranged with Frank in mind.
