Facts make you laugh? While they aren't the most technically gifted and don't write the most technical songs, they are easily the most influential and important band ever.

Nah, they really aren't.

Most of the music I listen to aren't influenced by them. Although I do admit that Elliott Smith was very influenced by them, they are not the greatest band ever. Farrrrr from it my friend.

I would say that probably all facets of music have been influenced by the Beatles in one way or another. Even the way they  made music more popular and made it music that was more daring than anything that had been so popular makes them influential. But to each his own I guess.

Dude...that is not fact but opinion.  Not every band has been influenced by them either.  To be honest, in 1964 when the so called British Invasion occured they were more or less a boy band.  While they had more talent than the boy bands of today....they were popular cause the girls loved them.

Now that's a fact....

Their music had more rock elements in their songs than anything that had become so popular, I don't think they were a boy band at all, especially during that period. They paved the way for bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin in my opinion.

You know, when it comes down to influence, you know how drummers usually hold their drum sticks?

Before Ringo Starr, no drummer held theirs like that.

That's wholly irrelevent to their music, however it does mean that they were very influential because they were so popular.
quiglythegreat

They had influences themselves in their music....and if girls think you are cute and like the band for that reason then your conclusion does not necessarily follow.  Pop does not mean influential.  In their case, they did influence some bands....not all...and music would have evolved if they didn't exist.;)

You never know, maybe we would've listened to Doo Wop and Elvis for all eternity, or Herman's Hermits, you can never be too sure.

History is not on your side in this.....at the concerts all you heard was girls screaming...yes, I've talked to some older individuals I've worked with that saw them.  Even they admit that's why they were initially popular.

Led Zeppelin was influenced by the blues dude....

It's opinion. Nothing can define what the greatest band is except for personal opinion.

You can't draw that conclusion.....at the time of the Bristish Invasion there were other bands making early rock music.

The music was not directly influenced, but there is no way the public would've received bands like Led Zeppelin if the Beatles came along.

postulio14

That's not true.....early Zep fans were not always Beatles fans.  In fact, usualy not.  You can't make illogical conclusions and state them as fact.

I'm sure The Beatles influenced Rites of Spring and Cold Like December. Uh huh.

Music did not start with the Beatles.

The reasons bands were influenced by The Beatles was because they were insanely popular....bands want fans and money.  So the smart money was on sounding similiar.  Period.  Not everyone in the world was in love with The Beatles...then and now.  It's all opinion.

I really doubt that, but if you're going to use that logic, then find who influenced the Beatles, then find who influenced them, and so on and so on.

So in essence, the most important piece of music was the first one ever played.

Of course the Beatles didn't influence those bands, but the Beatles probably influenced the bands that influenced the bands that influenced the bands you mentioned.
