I agree they are pioneers and I understand that a lot of folk older than me, loved them - but what came before the Beatles, Elvis etc?
Crooners & war music I take it, so they were a breath of fresh air for that era.

Comparing them to other artists over the years, The Beatles music does nothing for me. I can honestly say there's not a track of theirs I like.
