That's certainly true of Lindsey and Stevie to a much higher degree than John and Yoko or Paul and Linda, in my eyes. There's a trend in music blogging of putting the Beatles first on any list, regardless of criteria. Here it seems a bit of a stretch...

Oh really? Well, John Lennon's songwriting changed dramatically once Yoko came into his life. She inspired him intensely: romantically, in his political outlook, his attitude towards women, and his self-expression.All of this came out in his music, and she was very much his muse. For his part, he motivated and inspired her to channel her avant garde leanings into pop/rock music, which she would never have done without John's influence. Remixes of her singles she made with him have charted on the dance charts in the past decade. I'd say that's a huge feat for a lady who's art has never had the biggest mainstream appeal.

Plus, they were a beautiful couple who loved one another passionately. John put everything on the line for Yoko, and she as well. After he was killed, she has devoted her life to protecting his legacy with great love and admiration. She was asked recently if she would ever remarry and she replied, "After John, how could I?"

I'm with SteveMacD. I really adore LB&SN and they should have been higher on the list, but the Beatles placements belongs exactly where they are.
