were it not for the Everly Brothers there never would have been a Beatles
The Beatles started out doing Chuck Berry and Little Richard covers. They even recorded a few.
The Beatles have their place in music history but in terms of actual talent and vocal quality, they don't even come close to the Motown groups of the 60's and the artists of the 50's......
These types of lists are useless since everyone who reads them have their own personal preferences..........
I was in the 9th grade when the Beatles invaded the United States and ruined real Rock & Roll. Never had no use for these overrated acid freaks. They stole their music and lyrics from American singers, notably Buddy Holly. Early Beatles tunes sound exactly like bad Buddy Holly. They stole from the Everly Brothers, the most underrated singers of all time. They turned America’s youth into don’t give a damn pot heads, and were the inspiration for the Vietnam draft-dodgers and the entire “anti-war” movement. Our brothers in Vietnam died as a result of draft-dodgers protesting the war and the chickensh*t democrats cut and running. It all happened because of the Beatles. The Beatles were the worst thing that ever happened to American music, and American society.
