I am not a big fan of the beatles - absolutely not.

But from a musical point of view i do have to give them credit! They where amazing!

they managed to record all their stuff with only 4 tracks and they did it all live in studio alltogether - not one after another. the compositions where just great and so where the arrangements. it is true that the beatles would be nothing without George Martin - though they had good ideas, Martin was the one who was putting them into context. The real credit therefore has to go to George Martin. He was the one who wrote McCartneys ingenius basslines - not McCartney himself, who is now beeing praised for it.

But the beatles where not the only band that did great work back then. Bands like Gentle Giant with "Octopus" or the Beach Boys with "Pet Sounds" where also very important bands.
