Were The Beatles really seen as cultural leaders by edgier Bob

They all inspired and were inspired by each other in those days. Beatles, Who, Kinks, Velvets, Doors, Hollies, Zombies, etc.

>Bob Dylan
He's pretentious enough as it is and should not be seen as a revolutionary the same way as the Beatles were (undeniably talented nevertheless).
>Velvet Underground
I'm actually not sure. I like both VU and the Beatles, I can imagine people at the time probably had similar thoughts unless they were /mu/tier elitists.
>Jefferson Airplane
Normie tier "dude acid lmao" SHIT

it was like a reboot of popular music.
there weren't that many genres, that many borders.
there were new sounds, new music, it took a few years until everybody kind of went their own ways again.

>Bob Dylan
Thought The Beatles were talking about smoking pot in I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Some think they're the reason why he picked up an electric guitar.

>Velvet Underground
Lou Reed once said that he hated British rock and wouldn't listen to it

>Jefferson Airplane
DUDE! ACID! LOL!

So the answer is NO!
