The Beatles could have gone psychedelic as early as "Ticket To Ride”. Not so...

Stop kidding yourself not every band emulated the Who...

"Girl" certainly had Christian overtones on the track. Though it was Revolver that had Brian Wilson influenced by the religious topics in certain Beatles songs for example "Eleanor Rigby" and "Love...

Well of course I am aware of Pet Sounds influence on Sgt Pepper. I am not taking away from what Brian Wilson was doing but IMO I think the Beatles were better than the Beach Boys in terms of fusing...

Who knows who is the best. The Beatles were more than just a rock band. With the Beatles rock music didn't have to conform to the 'rules' of rock 'n' roll, and R&B.

Jimi Hendrix IMO just owned Bob Dylan "All Along the Watchtower and the Beatles turned "Twist and Shout" from a party tune into at the time some full sonic rock song

The Beatles before they got all experimental and arty were a really good cover band. I hear the original versions of "Twist and Shout" and "Money That's What I Want" they sound like party tunes. The...

I actually don't agree with that line of thinking their earlier stuff might have been just as groundbreaking. Hear the original versions of "Twist and Shout" and "Money That's What I Want" they sound...

"Tomorrow Never Knows" is certainly psychedelic as it was about writing about psychedelic experience and you might as well call it psychedelic electronic with all it's electronic noises. "I'm Only...
