Why didn't Scruffy talk about how the Beatles pioneered

Because he's a pseudointellectual hack who cherry-picks history and makes up facts to support his personal biases.

Because Dylan and The Byrds did it better.

I Should Have Known Better

just because it partially inspired the byrds to pioneer folk rock doesnt mean it pioneered folk rock

The Beatles were literally doing the same thing before the Byrds were, but with original songs instead of covers

Sandy Bull is Piero's ace in the hole for a lot of this pioneering talk.

using 12 string electric guitar =/= exact same thing as byrds

That's true, and I'll concede that playing Dylan-influenced pop songs with an electric 12-string guitar =/= playing pop covers of Dylan songs with an electric 12-string guitar

Byrds wrote songs too, just their most popular ones were covers.

>contemporaries never spoke highly of the Beatles

>So I was in a high old state of affairs, and Clem walked in one afternoon with that first Beatles album, Meet the Beatles. He put it on, and I just didn't know what to think. It absolutely floored me- "Those are folk-music changes, but it's got rock and roll backbeat. You can't do that, but they did! Holy yikes!"
David Crosby (1995)

>The Beatles came out about that time and I got really jazzed by the Beatles. I loved what they were doing and they were doing a lot of passing chords. Like instead of just going like G, C, D, they'd go G, Bm, Em, C, Am, to D. So, the minor and passing chords I liked and, I thought these are really folk music chord changes. I kind of got it from what they were doing, I guess because they'd been a skiffle band.
Roger McGuinn (2006)

>The blending of Folk and Rock was something that was inspired by The Beatles when I was working for Bobby Darin in New York. I was in the Brill Building in 1963 and I heard The Beatles and it inspired a combination of Folk and Rock and I went down to Greenwich Village and I started playing traditional songs with a Beatle beat and gradually when I went out to the West Coast Gene Clark came along and David Crosby and we formed The Byrds around that sound.

>Byrds wrote songs too
Okay, so both bands were doing the same thing.
