DAILY REMINDER

They literally didn't

>>74069412
They didnt pioneer much of anything, but they certainly perfected everything that they did. They didnt invent psych rock, but theyre the best psych rock band, etc.

>>74069495
They were the first group to do Dylan-influenced pop songs, with an electric 12-string guitar nonetheless. Scaruffi is correct in debunking many of the innovations credited to them, but he becomes so consumed by this that he ignores the one thing that they genuinely did create.

>>74069412
They just went from Doo Wop to Experimental Doo Wop, that's it.

>theyre the best psych rock band
not even remotely

>>74069704
Yeah they really are.

>>74069539
>the beatles fused cultural motifs to create a marketable product
kool

>>74070235
Yes, that's a particularly autistic way of describing innovations in popular music.

>>74069724
not him but please listen to more music before posting on a music board

>>74070298
I've listened to more music than you and everyone you know. Plus I write for and play multiple instruments. The Beatles are still the best.

>>74070552
Then you sure listened to a lot of shitty ass music.

>>74070852
You'll understand music better after your 21st birthday. Don't worry, just give it time :)

>>74069539
just because they were influenced by dylan doesnt mean they pioneered folk rock you fucking idiot

stop spamming this nonsense

>>74071018
That's exactly what it means, though. I'm genuinely sorry that you fell for the Scaruffi meme. Beatle fangirls and music defeners annoy me too.

>stop spamming this nonsense
>posts nonsense

What did he mean by this?

>>74071146
Ad hominem is all the drones have, my friend.

>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.
- Roger McGuinn (2007)

>contemporaries never spoke highly of the Beatles
(not true, by the way)

Kek

>>74069539
even if they weren't literally the first to do something, the fact that they brought things like guitar feed back and backwards tracking to the mainstream is noteworthy.

but yeah, dylan is the one who pioneered folk rock.

>>74069412
Did you guys know John Lennon beat his wife?

>>74073024
He stopped around 1963, IIRC. Stuck solely with emotional abuse.

>>74069495
For example, Pink Floyd are a far better psych band.
