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

    • Sun's out today. Can feel the hills calling. Time to ramp up the energy levels. I've been easing my way in gently the last 2 weeks with the likes of Hayley and Lael Neale and Cut Worms and Maria Somerville etc. Time to unleash some Shame, Mogwai, Place to Bury Strangers and especially Wednesday and Mannequin Pussy.  Also, just back from a brilliant night in Belfast at the Fleadh Ceoil so anything with a fiddle or a whistle or a squeeze box is drawing me like the Sirens. Madra Salach with the volume up. COME ON!!
    • My Orange car park ticket turned up today. The envelope looked like some kind of junk mail offering me a loan so I nearly didn't open it!
    • There is a bunch of TBC acts on Deftones day, according to APE insta. The obvious guesses are Fiddlehead, Nothing, Dynamite and Make Way, "Outbreak" artists playing the night before. The question is more about how are they are gonna fit in on three big stages.    is 
    • SURELY Reel Big Fish will be here? 
    • Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter is a very bland set of headliners. Commercially successful and makes plenty of sense, but it wouldn't be very inspirising. That said I want a band like Green Day to headline so who am I to say what exciting is.
