The Beatles were revolutionary. They were, along with Jimi Hendrix and the Beach Boys, the first to use the studio-as-instrument. A lot of break-throughs they made we take for granted now. What I do hate about the Beatles is that baby-boomer critics state that "The Beatles were the high point of pop music, it will never be as good as this again". A load of crap from a bunch of insecure has-beens. As for the Beatles, I like 'em but can we just move on and stop being so relevant to the past the whole time. There isnt anything interesting to be said about the Beatles that people havent heard before.
I dont agree with assorted's statement that Lennon just wrote a bunch of namby-pamby crap like "All you need is love". What about "Working class hero" or "Revolution"?
