      Musicians back then weren't like musicians today. They were well-educated, intelligent, articulate people who wrote their own music because they were genuinely innovative and creative people who were absolute scholars of classical/romantic music, which was basically what their genre of music was. Bands like the Stones and the Beatles basically got their sounds by combing elements of the blues that they loved, with the classical music styles they learned in school.

    The Beatles definitely deserve this award not for just being a famous band but for what they started as what Mick was describing. Everybody who says they don't like the Beatles or criticize them are too close minded to understand the implications of their existence. You have to look at the big picture as well as the little stuff like record sales, songwriting ability, performance, influence, how they related socially to everyone else, etc etc. Even today's lay music has inspirations from the past in it which inevitably lead back to the early sixties and mid 60s and late 60s which obviously are influences that comes from the Beatles. That is just a fact. Any real musician or musical artist will tell you that from almost any genre.

      @Boss_Man_T Exactly. I don't think most people understand that. I know several very talented musicians but they can't write a song to save their life. They just play other people's material. Songwriting is a whole other skill and The Beatles had it in spades.

    • @Grisostomo06
      @Grisostomo06 10 років тому +6

      I agree. This is a fine speech. I like the line "They were the four headed monster. They always went everywhere together." And although the Stones out did the Beatles in scruffiness they had more affluent backgrounds than did any of the Fab Four who came from hard scrabble working class Liverpoole families. Ringo and George both dropped out before graduating from high school. None of them spent time in college. And yet they wrote some of the most sophisticated pop music ever to be heard.
      They had 20 number one hits in eight years. No other act comes close. The Beatles output was astonishing. They recorded 215 songs in that short time period.
      Sometimes you'll hear people say they're over rated. Sometimes I think so too but then I go back and listen to some of the music they did and their progression from teeny bopper songs like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" which have a nice driving dance beat and good guitar riffs to more complicated pieces found on their later works found on Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. They were constantly evolving and getting better. I think they broke up at the right time. The Beatles as a group retired at the top of their game.

      why do u have to compare in a competitive way? why not just say: wow, both of them are unimaginably good, and if you try to have a glance behind the curtain: there are influences from the beatles at the stone´s songs. As far as I remember it was the beatles first and they influenced also the stones, if it had been the other way round, I am convinced the beatles would have been influenced by the stones as well, because both bands are kind of geniuses and those people tend to walk through life (sorry denglish) with open minds.... optionally

      The others are called Gritty , Harder, whatever.
      Hey People !
      ALL BRITISH BANDS are POP.
      whatever genre you pick, R&B, Rock, , the Brita Took our American Rock Heroes Music and presented a homogenized version back, and all you can say is these bands are the best.
      Let's not include the Root Bands, and musicians that Started these genres and are way more gritty,, no we want to compare the Best Band to the other copy cats and say they are grittier, Harder.
      ALL BRITISH MUSIC IS POP.

    I am a long time Beatles fan l truly enjoyed Mick's induction of The Beatles into The R n R Hall of Fame. I could think of no one other than Bob Dylan to have done the honors.
    The Beatles and The Stones did have that 'rivalry' yet there had to have been respect between the two groups.
    Mick was there when The Beatles reigned supreme and imagine you are an unknown group at that stage and the Fab Four were in the crowd to here you perform. Imagine that.
    By giving the Stones their first top ten hit really changed music history forever. The Stones and the Beatles inspired not only each other yet many other bands.
    Mick's presentation was entertaining at first yet he showed humilty when acknowledging what The Beatles did for English Rock as well their impact in the States.
    The Beatles were the vanguard and opened the door for other Bands to give us the great music of the 60's and beyond for which we should be forever grateful.
    Well done Mick. Well done The Beatles. When an honest appraisal needed to be given which dispells the us (Beatles) v them (Stones) who better to say it than Mick himself.

    Mick Jagger had this to say about The Beatles to Jann Wenner in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview in 1995- "The Beatles were so big that it’s hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were. There isn’t a real comparison with anyone now. I suppose Michael Jackson at one point, but it still doesn’t seem quite the same. They were so big that to be competitive with them was impossible."
    And he was 100% correct, The Beatles were the biggest entertainment/artistic entity on the planet, nobody- Sinatra, Elvis, The Stones, John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Elizabeth Taylor, etc., could come close during their time. They received front page news when they hit a city on tour. World leaders wanted to meet them. Scholars studied their work. All of this fame without the internet, social media, cell phones or computers, digital cameras, cable TV, etc. Add to this fame the fact that they had 100% artistic control, and redefined popular music whenever they came out with an album. Jagger was right in 1995, and it applies now; nobody can compare toThe Fab Four, even in 2022.
