Biggest Beatles shocker: Never won top Grammy for best record

In context, listen to any of the music that was popular in the same time frame. There was a lot of good music then as now. Warm up with some "Hits" from 65', maybe toss a few Beach Boys in there, some Stones, Yardbirds, Johnny Rivers ect.. then pop on your headphones and listen to Rubber Soul (1965) and you will immediately figure it out. Pick any year going forward til they quit in 69' and the results will be the same. Although if you think they suck anyway, why waste the time?

Best rock band ever.

I suspect all Yamerhaw has heard of them is I wanna hold your hand, love me do, and other gay shit they wrote before they got into heavy drugs. Which is what most people think of when they hear the name The Beatles. But thats the smallest part of the music they made, and far from the reason they were so great.

Like the pedophile (dont mistake with PDF file) MJ, they changed the face of the genre they chose. There has been no one bigger since.

buddy holly influenced the shit out of the rock genre and he only had four years to do it

Now flash forward 10-15 years and see if they can stand up to the raw talent of groups like Styx, Queen, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, or Deep Purple?

Jigga please.

Impact, sure. Talent? Not the best by any stretch of the imagination.

Impact, sure. Talent? Not the best at all.

I wonder how the members of those bands would answer that question?

They would probably say they were heavily influenced by the Beatles, sure.......But if they tried to say the Beatles were better than them, then it would just be false modesty IMO.
