Yeah, every rock band was doing the chamber music think back in the day.

The best bands are the ones that are most influential, outside of their era. That's what you call timeless.

Its a shame The Beatles have no influence whatsoever.

The Stones created modern rock music and flourished, while the Beatles collapsed.

I assume that every time a band breaks up it counts as a collapse.. Surely its not because they knew when to quit rather than unleash upon their loyal fans 30 years worth of godawful music like The Stones have. Surely not.

A big reason why the Beatles couldn’t survive in this new era was because they didn’t possess the level of musicianship of the Stones, the Who, Cream, Jim Hendrix, etc.

I know more about musicianship than you probably do, The Beatles were much better musicians than The Stones.
Clapton himself will testify that Harrison was one of the best guitarists around, he thought more highly of him then he ever did of Richards, Jones, Taylor or Wood. Also The Beatles influenced Hendrix more than The Stones did.

The era of the Beatles’ simple pop tunes (Eleanor Rigby, etc.) gave way to the Super Group, so realizing they were no match musically, they wisely quit.

Thats not why they quit you goddamn f*cking retard.

Left alone at the top, the Stones went on to influence many bands including Aerosmith and AC/DC (Bon Scott era), both harder rocking rhythm and blues bands.

I see their influence was very diverse.

Motorhead then took hard rock R&B and speeded it up. Metallica followed Motorhead and added and Industrial influence, turning the rhythm guitar into a jackhammer and turning the blues based guitar solos into a tour de force blitz krieg. After Metallica, Sepultura elevated the guitar rhythms to an extreme level. The core groove or “head-banging” experienced in thrash and first generation of death metal all directly relates back to the R&B hard rock created by Stones.

Do my eyes decieve me? Did you just credit The Rolling Stones for DEATH METAL?
Big3 and Urban. If you continue to side with this guy, I hereby request that both of you have your mod status revoked.

On the other hand, the Beatles influence died with them in the late 60’s.

Yep, influencing everything from Progressive Rock and Power Pop to Alternative Rock and Indie is no match for influencing Motorhead.
