They've had more influence because they've been more famous. Without The Beatles, another band of that era of a similar style would have been the primary influence, and music wouldn't be phenomenally different. A few different things and everyone could be citing someone else. Other bands, like The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, Roxy Music (1st 2 albums), Talking Heads, The Sonics, have had a far greater impact upon the sounds that have followed them. The Beatles were one band in a movement, and the band that became massive.

It's little different to how Nirvana weren't the forefathers of grunge, but the act that became most successful, and thus cited more often.

The Beatles were really good at what they do, I don't really have anything against them, but I've never wanted to listen to a Beatles album. It's a not style I find particularly exciting or interesting.

i wouldn't imagine it'd be subheadline at the very minimum. Them crooked vultures, the rubbish that they were got that spot at download. You could say they headlined and then people saw a totally separate gig

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
