No. You said they revolutionized pop music and I said other artists have mixed
influences too and much more skillfully, and due to their own merits not to
producers who knew music better than they. Revolutionizing pop music is HISTORY.
Doing anything well, be that revolutionary or reactionary, is GOOD MUSIC.

Oh... they were never a boy band!!! And they were not a creation of their
producer, who even determined who would be on the band, excluding one of the
original members. And they didn't have wild groupies yelling like histerical
sexless freudian patients? Are you sure we're talking about the same Beatles?
