The problem with the Beatles is that thier songs are so derivative. But they are the songs the other songs are derived from!

Are people seriously questioning the musical merits of the Beatles?????AKA Dave LubinComment

Apparently so. Well if it wasn't them then Hermans Hermits would have been the breakthrough artistsBenny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."Comment

What about the Stones? Were they influenced by the Beatles? The Who? Early Peter Gabriel Genesis? I don't think any of these bands songs were derived from any Beatles stuff...., and all roughly around the same time.
But seriously, if you read what I've said, I'm not questioning their talent, I'm just saying that they will be infinitely over-rated. I mean Nirvana changed music fucking completely early 90"s, yet they don't get much mention at all these days."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith?

Also, here's a quote I found from your boy:
If they influenced Punk rock, they also influenced Nirvana.From an interview with Noel Gallagher of Oasis:
QUESTION: I was interested in knowing why you consider "Helter Skelter" the beginning of the punk movement?
GALLAGHER: Because it was exactly a year after that, that the Stooges and the MC5 came out. In 1969. "Helter Skelter" was recorded at the back end of 1967, and that was the first. If you listen to "Helter Skelter" and listen to the MC5 and the Stooges, it's that sound. They sound exactly like that record. That song, the way it's played, is the birth of punk rock as we know it.Comment

More on Gabriel/Genesis/Beatles:
It seems obvious that a bright if somewhat shy lad like Peter Gabriel tried to escape this strictly authoritarian, caning atmosphere that did not endorse emotions. The music was to be his means of escape. After a brief career as a hippie hat maker he became the drummer in several bands at school. At the school piano he began to turn his re-kindled interest in The Beatles and soul music into his own songs with Tony Banks.Comment

Well I asked......., you did some serious homework......, and you did very well indeed, and came up with all of the stuff i asked....., I applaud you.
Summing up......, maybe I can just take or leave the Beatles. Apologies for fucking up the death thread."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

SLTS is an awesome song. It opens with that riff and then a wall of noise slams you in an awesome way.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."Comment
