Says Sobran, re pop composers: What about sticking to pop music Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, Richard Rodgers, and Frank Loesser?
Say I: You left out George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Jules Styne, all three of whom could wax the tails of the other four, good as they were. And as far as American music, period, Duke Ellington could eat them all for breakfast.

The Beatles probably did more for guitar sales than any group in history. I'd still like to get a Rickenbacher...

I don't think you can compare the Beatles to Gershwin, et al. It's apples and oranges. But I think apples and oranges are equally great in their own unique way and I enjoy both of them.
