For what it's worth I have a degree from Edinburgh in Music & History so I know my fair share of the background surrounding most genres of music and their evolution.
The fact that some folks on here are Beatles mad and as a result are blinded from the facts about the argument.
I don't want to fall out with anyone over this but it's almost as if people have been brainwashed to the point that if you critiscise The Beatles you are branded a blasphemist.

Well, I personally didn't say that they were the be all and end all! I was just replying to someone who made the bizarre comment "FM pisses all over the Beatles creatively". But there's a difference between criticising them because you don't personally like them and then just plain disregarding their importance. Just as some people might be brainwashed into worshipping the Beatles, I think there are a lot of people out there who don't like them just because they're so popular and so highly regarded.
(I'm not implying that's your viewpoint).
Anyway, I guess everyone will have to agree to disagree
