For feedback, distortion, and other improvements to rock and roll, you've got to turn to Howlin' Wolf, Link Wray, Travis Wammack, Dick Dale, and Davie Allan (and the Arrows).
Link Wray got banned for an instrumental cut long before the Beatles even considered playing rock and roll. That same single (Rumble) got Pete Townsend to pick up a guitar.
All of them except for Chester Burnette (Howlin' Wolf) are still alive and still playing (and still recording new music). It took Beavis & Butthead to get Dick Dale on MTV despite his Miseralou leading the smash film Pulp Fiction.
Screw the music industry. They screw over the talented performers and push pap.

That was my point to Ghost.
The Beatles were accessible, maybe the first mega hit to use these sounds, but not the first.
