. . . and then think about the artists kids today fawn over, like Beiber and Miley. *Sigh*
Aren't Bieber and Miley more about losing their clothes than singing?One year before I was born, so I missed it. Abby Road was my first album, though. It saddens me a bit to think about what great musicians they were and so intelligent and thoughtful, even in their youth . . . and then think about the artists kids today fawn over, like Beiber and Miley. *Sigh*
simply put Adam……..if you can't appreciate the Beatles, you know nothing about music. My parents (probably the age of your Grandparents) understood their importance.

I disagree. Music is largely generational, and includes subject matter that is defined by a specific period of time; in the case of the Beatles, a period I (30 yrs old) do not relate to. Pearl Jam was my Beatles, but I'm sure you couldn't understand, Gramps HeHe
Significance to rock music, yes. But if you didn't grow up with or subsequently appreciate rock music then I can understand how you might find the Beatles a little confronting. The Beatles (as great as they are) are an extraordinarily different style to a Bach violin concerto

The trouble I have is in defining exactly what the Beatles did for music. I realize that they're a band that others are socially obligated to pay homage to when citing their respective influences, but other than becoming wildly popular, what, Exactly, did they do first, before anyone else. I give them credit for bringing rock music into the light, so to speak, but I just need to be told, like I'm 5 years old, why they are revolutionary; what did they do before anyone else?
along with all the good info Rich has posted don't forget about the special on TV tonite….CBS 8pm (EST)
