When The Beatles' first record came out in 1962, there was no rock music. Every band back then were pop outfits....... the divide between pop and rock didn't come until late 1965. Heavier rock sounds really didn't appear until the likes of Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Even It has to be said that The Who's My Generation and Satisfaction by the Stones had been pop records before then. The Beatles' white album testifies what a great rock band they were five years after their first album. They changed music as we knew it in that time. If they hadn't existed, there would've been NO Stones, No Yardbirds, No Kinks, No Who, No Cream, No Hendrix, No Jeff Beck Group, No Led Zeppelin, etc. So Justin....don't write off The Beatles as a pop band when you clearly don't understand how popular music changed during the mid-60's, thanks to them.
I had no intention of writing off the Beatles. I agree with you. And your entire comment is exactly why they are the 2nd greatest Band of all time. I wonder how you'll feel next week when I reveal The Greatest Band of All Time.
Beautiful!!
Thank you so much
