In other words, unassailable?

They were the first to culturally appropriate the sitar, which is why I don't like them because racists suck.
People really think like this.

I think the collective noun for morons is a "mob"? A mob of morons? Have to check that one

I always find it amusing that Zappa's Freak Out was a large influence on Sgt Pepper, yet Sgt Pepper still gets all the credit.
Yes, A Day in the Life is a great track but it's not like a certain rock musician* hadn't already used an orchestra before (and was about to release a full-on orchestra/band/Musique concrete collage album). That orchestra part isn't original either but it makes for the Beatles 2nd best song (firstly being the Stockhausen knock off Revolution 9)
