Do I really have to explain that? By nature, it's politically incorrect, and challenges the pop culture of what's accepted. For instance, "Brown Sugar" was ballsiey then, and it's still ballsiey today. In fact, no radio station will play it.

This explains why it's played on the radio ALL THE DAMN TIME!!

On the other hand, "Elenear Rigby" can be heard in super-markets and dentist offices because it's soothing and harmless.

Its about an old lady who dies lonely. Not quite what I call soothing.

At any rate, I'm always willing to expand my horizon, excluding RadioHead, because I know your blowing them out, and Oasis, whom I deplore, lay some music that's directly descends from the Beatles pop culture on all of us.

Like I said before, Progressive Rock, Power Pop, Alternative Rock, Classic Rock, Brit Pop, all owe a lot to The Beatles.
