All of your examples are where the music in it's purest form has been mixed with something else. Reggae would be essentially the same without the Beatles. R&B, funk, hip-hop, mambo, etc. would be no worse for the wear. You'd just have a few different things added to it to keep it fresh.You're an idiot. Just shut the fuck up. You simply don't know what you're talking about. Artists like Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Tony Wiliams, John McLaughlin et al (all major innovators) in this genre cite The Beatles' body of work as having an influence on their musical vision. Of course the music was "mixed with something else". That's why they called it jazz-fusion. Granted Beatles weren't the only influence but they are continuously cited as an influence. test | |

Im sorry but i never said I never listened to nor heard any other music than motown or funk, I have heard a lot of music from the 60's/70 and it just didn't do It for me, U say i need to reserve my comments, when i have listened or still do listen to alot of that era, as its my fathers fav era and i have to work with him lol and all he does is play music from that era. All Im sayying is I dont like the beatles, they music does nothing for me ITS MY OPINION, people have just got to take that....not every1 is the same, and to me they suck, my opinion, u guys cant change that..Just respect my feelings and I'll respect yours.. [Edited 9/21/05 12:47pm] You know, i think The Beatles are the only band where if you mention you don't like them people somehow can't dig it, especially hardcore Beatles fans or facists as i call them. If you don't like them they simply go on about how they changed music etc and how you're somehow not educated enough. I have all The Beatles albums. I inherited them from my uncle who was an a huge fan(i have over 100cds, shit loads of bootlegs) and i've listened to nearly every one. For the most part their music doesn't hit me in the gut and i think thats always gonna be my problem. It's perfect in a way a nursery rhyme is perfect. I want music to make me feel dirty in a good way, i want it turn me on. The Beatles will always be U rated for me and i can't do U rated for long. Sure there's some exceptions but in general it leaves me wanting more. My brother who unlike me is a major fan, he says the only part of the The Beatles he can't deal with is the "Oompah" effect. Fans will know what he means. [Edited 9/30/05 6:20am] | |
