Are we going to mention that The Beatles invented Doom Metal in in 1969, half way through "I want you. She's so heavy".
Up to around the 4 minute mark it's a Jazzy funk tune. Then at 4 minutes thirty seconds they say, here, I'm feeling a bit of existential dread, let's invent Doom Metal.
So they do. In nineteen sixty fucking nine.
It was the deluxe edition reissue. It was about three discs too long (it was only a 2 disc set). I've tried with Dead Letter Office too, I thought the VU covers would be a way into early REM but it's really not for me. Dreary and not in a good way.Must have been a different album in there. Dylan perhaps.
But trying to like any kind of pop music (in the broadest sense of the term) and ignoring the Beatles is like trying to write a fantasy novel and ignoring Tolkien.
A triumph of marketing, if you will.I KNOW. I heard music once actually.
But I A: will not seperate them from 6000 years of pop history starting in ancient greece B: can't stomach 'before and after the beatles'. They made american music into english music and indian music into english music and they put the merseybeat on it and the world wanted and needed it at the time but also it is kinda 60 years later now and we can contextualise outside worship.
When did I say I worshipped the Beatles?

hahahaha, i'm almost entirely agreeing with you though!You didn't explicitly say it, but eh, I get the feeling I *might* have struck a beatles shaped nerve by not agreeing with it.

"Sit up straight and eat your Beatles" is a good joke (well, clearly not but I like it) about how people are forced to appreciate the Beatles and this cannot be questioned.
I love that song ,especially that bit. But no,the Beatles did not invent doom metal. Plenty of doomy rock before that,and then tracing back further to early recorded blues. Credit to the beatles for a great tune,but no more.
Careful now. Please don't turn this place into the steve hoffmann forum
A lot of talk about separating art from artists, but not often enough about artist and fanbaseThe Beatles were great but anything that omnipresent is going to annoy people.

How much harder is it to like a band when you find their fans and their behaviour intolerable?
I don't care, what genre did the beatles invent with that killer guitar riff in paperback writer? I love that
