A lot of guitar players are better than Hendrix.....but without Hendrix, there wouldn’t be those guys.
Same goes for the Beatles, they created something that wasn’t there before.
“Same goes for the Beatles, they created something that wasn’t there before.”
Really. They weren’t great — pretty basic — but they started a new era. This thread cracks me up; talk about over-analyzing a topic.
We started to watch the TV special last night about the Beatles’ invasion of USA on Ed Sullivan. It stank to high Heaven, and when some Katie Perry person started caterwauling “Yesterday”, our ear drums couldn’t take any more abuse. (Almost turned channels earlier when the affected twit Johnny Depp made an introduction.) The producers made a big mistake by featuring so many contemporary artists (and I use that term loosly) who have no clue about ‘60s music. Simply dreadful.
