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

    • 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)
    • You're not wrong - but i still don't like it!  F5 forever  
    • Its fascinating how you turn every point of conversation into a matter of 'winners' and 'losers' - everyone owes you because . . . actually, i dont really understand why, because you predicted that things would get more expensive over time? 
    • New Overmono album is... just good for me. Had high hopes which were later dashed a bit after listening to some of the singles but they brought me back around enough to appreciate some very nice work in there. https://music.apple.com/ie/album/pure-devotion/1894298100
