All that is being said is that not everything that is good about music is solely down to The Beatles. Just because George Harrison got stoned and picked up a sitar one balmy Indian evening beneath the stars does'nt mean that we should be forever indebted to them.

Of course not. But the Beatles' shortcomings (they certainly exist) don't really corrupt their influence on musicians as a whole. If we were guaging the Beatles' influence based on a criterion of ingenuity, they probably wouldn't top that list. I just don't understand why the Beatles have to be the most inventive to have such a wide influence. Does that make sense to you?
The point being that cantankerous f
uckers like Urban and Comus shouldn't start needless arguments when they can think instead.
