How could they be if they were Hermits??

The Beatles were a game changer.  I appreciate and can admire and respect them for that, even though I am not their biggest fan.



Every now and then a band appears that shakes things up.  Nirvana did the same, but in a different decade.  Again, not the biggest fan, but can appreciate the 'freshness' they brought to the scene.

The Bee Gees.... The Seekers, Queen, Eurythmics (sp?) Fleetwood Mac... The Eagles...Beach Boys...



No ONE band is better than any other.. I can't stand discussions like this. They're crap.



If they've sold albums, they're all good.

I think the point with the Beatles is that whilst I agree that comparisons are odious and pointless, it cannot be denied that without them, music today might have looked very different. For example, whether you prefer one over the other, without Sgt Peppers, there would probably not have been a Dark Side Of The Moon. Without Tomorrow Never Knows, psychedelia, electronic and ambient music might not have existed.



They moved boundaries, and other groups found new musical horizons when they followed.

That's it.  In the early sixties, things were starting to get 'stale'...  Something new had to come, but nobody really knew what that would be until the Beatles exploded onto the scene...

Doesn't anyone remember Crispian St Peters?



This song is better than any Beatles song...And the Beatles were good... THIS IS GREAT.

Very nice.

Some contemporaries  of the Beatles I rather enjoyed included the Byrds.



Here they sing a Bob Dylan tune, Chimes of Freedom:
