the beatles....a good band that i am really tired of.
they were really innovative in the george martin arrangments, which exploited possibilities in production that were avilable but had not really been exploited yet--and i like quite alot how they used tape manipulation techniques like looping/delay in a pop format.
they were the objects of a new kind of publicity.
i like their films.
i dont think they revolutionized anything--but there were a part of one in pop recording.
i dont think they were great musicians--if you only think about rocknroll, you might see them that way, but if you think about what was happening in jazz etc., then things fit into a different perspective.
i do like revolver.
