Also if you want to get into theory. Hendrix's famous E7#9 chord which he used over and over again was first used by The Beatles in The Taxman. George Harrison's use of the Dorian mode, from indian influence, on The Taxman solo was repeated just months later on Hendrix's Purple Haze solo...along with the E7#9 chord

That's were you're very wrong, the pop music back in 2010-2015 was THE BEST, the music now really sucks ass cheeks it's because of black people and tiktok for sure

I'm not saying the Beatles had zero influence. Obviously they had a lot. My original comment was just about how I think they get too much credit and other bands would've been successful with or without them. It's not any deeper than that. And purely from a musical perspective, all the artists you listed had bigger influences than the Beatles. Easily verifiable

I've heard this, but I think it's taken a bit out of context. His reaction to Sgt. Pepper was because it was better-received at the time, and it's what made him stop work on 'Smile'. Both George Martin and Paul McCartney credited Pet Sounds with making Sgt. Pepper possible

Ya communism gave us record shops and the evil capitalism took them away!

Thank you!

Where did Hendrix get backwards recording from? The Rolling Stones created their whole marketing campaign as being "the bad boy version of The Beatles". Bob Dylan went electric because of The Beatles. This is all stuff that is easily verifiable.

Also...fun fact, Linda McCartney discovered Jimi Hendrix and Paul McCartney was the one that recommended Hendrix for The Monterrey Pop Festival where Hendrix got his break through in the U.S.

Oh yeah true forgot about that one

Sweet Bird of Truth by The The

Now that would be worth a few bucks...not really a fan anymore. He kinda sounds like an old Vegas singer from the day

Music, uhh, finds a way

Sure if you're into Buddy Holly and what not

Only if you're interested in that kind of stuff? But like...why make a claim that is easily proven false?

Those bands you listed were definitely not trying to copy the Beatles lol. Hendrix and the stones were obsessed with old blues artists. Bob Dylan was more into country and folk. And pink Floyd made psychedelic music early on and we're also inspired by blues music. It's even how they came up with their name.

If you think a music critic today is going to say that The Beatles are overrated, you're flat-out wrong. They're going to say what most of us are saying, which is that they are one of the most influential bands of all time

Do you also have copies of the photos showing Jimbo fully in flagrante delicto!?...hehehehehe

No way! Been looking for something like this for ages. Will check it out bud!

I've only ever heard it (seen it) in The Doors movie with Val Kilmer

Love Keith Jarrett and can't imagine that anyone exists who doesn't like The Koln Concert.

Re your main point, not sure where you live, but here in London there are still plenty of great record shops where you can get great recommendations.

I've also read that when Brian Wilson heard Revolver he was upset because "The Beatles got there first" and when he heard Sgt Peppers he had a mental breakdown because it was beyond anything he could achieve.

Bands would've been fine without the Beatles.
