Flame me if you must; but IMO the Beatles/Stones killed USA RnR, RnB, Doowop and most other USA music.
1000% agree
Never did like the Beatles....Stones just were ugh. Have always loved Motown and country throw in a little western and I am a happy camper
I agree. The Beatles poisoned the well. Worse, they turned an art into an industry and one based more on packaging than on talent. Everyone from Madonna to Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber is their spawn, to the detriment of music everywhere.
