The Who, would be a better band to compare with the Beatles, and The Who would win that one as well. They were a major influence on the punk genre for example, more so or just as much as the The Beatles, they experimented with a lot of different genres of music, opera rock, progression, ambient, whatever.. The Beatles did a lot, but not anything that is more significant or musically extraordinary than the music of the Stones/Who.

Early noise song. I prefer Velvet Underground's "Loop" (which was released in 1966), but this is still pretty amazing if you ask me. Plus, this was inspired by The Beatles listening to
AMMMusic... which is a bonus.
Drone/ambient/psychedelic rock song about the Tibetan Book of the Dead in 1966. This was released a year before Parson Sound ever recorded anything, and two years before International Harvester's debut album. It was also released before
The Velvet Underground & Nico which exhibited elements of drone and ambiance.
Not really sure why I am defending these guys... I'm not even a huge Beatles fan... Hell, I love The Who.
