also Mick Jagger who also sang backing vocals on the song as well

They do have much better songs...but I never would have heard any of them if it weren't for Seven Nation Army...just being honest. That song changed my life, honestly.

lol...just being funny

Yes, they were having a back n forth...but from Brian Wilson's own mouth it was Revolver where The Beatles broke the ground he had been trying to get to. With Sgt Peppers the back n forth was over.

yes...you are entitled to your wrong opinion for sure

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

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.

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?

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.

Everything except for Abbey Road was recorded on 4 track I believe

Well, everybody definitely lifted stuff from The Beatles. Like...everybody did copy The Beatles...from Hendrix, to the Rolling Stones, to Pink Floyd, to Bob Dylan.

The only other band that had a similar effect was The Band with their album Music from Big Pink. After that Clapton and George Harrison and loads of others were trying to make albums that sounded like that.

I'd add The Byrds...they blended the early Beatles sound with Dylan lyrics

Dude...before The Beatles everybody was trying to sound like Elvis. Maybe bands would have gotten more creative but without the chart success of The Beatles making creativity marketable, none of those bands would have ever gotten record deals.

I'd add The Byrds and Dylan in there with Brian

they broke up in 69..they decided to stop being a touring boy band in 64. Started doing studio records in 65 with Rubber Soul and Revolver and hit their peak in 67 with Sgt Peppers.

Because their contract was structured like Elvis's with a movie/album deal..The record company didn't want to put any money into their productions, they just wanted something cheap and fast to churn out. So everything they did was through being creative. Acts like Hendrix had access to a lot better equipment. In fact Abbey Road, their last album, was the first album they recorded with an 8 track recorder instead of 4 track and was their first album released in stereo.

ground breaking now? no of course not. But they were the first ones to do almost everything and every single band from that point on copied them. Without the Beatles success with experimental albums, bands like Hendrix and Pink Floyd would have never gotten record deals and would never have been able to release music.

Yes and no...The Beatles wrote most of the songs that made them big in the first place. They then used their position and influence to move the needle which ever way they felt like going. So regardless of whether the songs would have been as popular with someone else...the fact that The Beatles did it meant everyone else was going to do it too.

and Drake

Im sorrrry

and while George probably isn't as great as any at their respective roles...he's kind of a blend of all three
