But by that point it was too late, they’d already created the mold that’s been ruining popular music ever since. Every painfully boring love song you’ve heard since 1964 was an attempt to rip off the Beatles.

I'm thinking you're not a guitar player.

Hop on Beatles tabs (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/beatles_tabs.htm) and check out some of the subtle complexity of their pre-Revolver work. Check out any of the material on "Anthology" to hear what went on in the studio even before Revolver. Everything was not all "Love Me Do" three-chord stuff like you claim . . . not by a long shot.

“{Subtle complexity” = same junk over and over. They wrote 3 dozen love songs that are basically the same. Then they started doing drugs and at least got kind of interesting. But by then it was too late.
