Weren't they just some fucked-up assholes who spent a lot of time in the studio?
When you consider that Captain Beefheart (true rock innovator) and White Noise - An Electrical Storm (a beautiful, brilliant, multi-layered, insane studio production) existed around the same time (as well as countless others, obviously), it makes the Beatles look... not very important.. in comparison. They were able to reinvent themselves and so on, but come on, that doesn't make them geniuses. They just made a lot of money, farted around in the studio, and John Lennon liked El Topo and he made cool noise records, so he's the only one I respect.
So, bye.
