Like why does it matter who did what first anyway? This is not what its about. There is a serious double standard when it comes to the Beatles by the naysayers.

Really the Kinks did not invent feedback, distortion, loud vocals but that does not take away what they did for future music like Hard Rock

Again, The Velvet Underground did not invent drone, feedback and extreme distortion it was already well established. They were still innovative and influential.

I really don't have a problem with the Beatles using Traditional Indian, Stockhausen and creating a new sound in a Rock or Pop Context. No one creates music without Influence.

Wow I am surprised that Led Zeppelin, The Who and the Stones have no votes. I wonder is this a younger crowd voting?
