Agreed! However, you gotta realize that when the Beatles released their earlier stuff that was pretty damn new at the time, and they were damn good at what they did with their pop albums. We take it for granted now and look at it as pop, but really that collective whole of their first few albums defined to a generation what pop was, and subsequently set the standard for the rest of the pop industry as well as the standard for the Beatles themselves. They were pushed and pushed and pushed to create new sounds and look what we got out of that, eh?
