The Beatles

190E(Taylor’s version)

What do you all think about the Beatles i like them but I don’t think they’re the best band ever ti of lived like your supposed to

yes they’re a great rock and rock band but not better than dsy thr who but they have one thing most rock snd roll bands Dont have a considerably consistently good music catalogue 

it’s a shame the rest of the Merseybeat bands never mad sit as big 

noe on the subject bigger than the Beatles ive always though nothing that has this tagline is true but I do think one person may be and thats Taylor swift she’s been popular since she was 15 she’s 35 now and abour to release her 12th studio album and has had many genres covered and has sold our show to the extern fans have listen o the show from outside the stadiums

also wirhout Paul rhe Beatles wouldn’t be that great I think John is so good becuase of Paul and George didn’t come into his own h till his solo carrer snd his Wilbury days

    I'm talking more about the global phenomenon of the Beatles, rather than their music as such. British popular music had a global reach and importance in the Victorian era - Music Hall derived, much of it - but was only locally important thereafter. That is until the Beatles, they were the ones who opened the gates for other British acts and bands to reach a global audience.

    I think you could say that about a lot of bands, the Beatles got influences from somewhere, Elvis Presely got his from blues music of the 1930's-40's mostly sung and written by African Americans, others would have been influenced by folk music, especially that of Scotland and Ireland and of course sea shanties, a type of music that tends to be forgotten about.

    He produced Lou Reed's 'Transformer' album. But it is really the Beatles historical importance, rather than them musically influencing other artists I was emphasising. Before the Beatles, British popular music was Lonnie Donegan, Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard and they were not going to set the world on fire.

    Bowie was influenced by John Lennon (and I find the songs he wrote ok, just not what I enjoy  listening to, while I actively dislike those written by Paul McCartney) however he was also influenced by many other artists including Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan, Velvet Underground, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Iggy Pop, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy (Ziggy Stardust was an amalgamation of the last two)
