(13,208 posts)Is the basic recipe for a rock and roll band - I always liked when the Beatles played rock tunes.
I get that they changed how music was made and transformed studio processes yada yada yada.
But occasionally they'd just plug in and play - and guess what? They were great at it.

(7,277 posts)Howard Goodhall is a senior Classical Composer. In this program he explains just how good and significant the Beatles really were - He compares them to Beethoven and Wagner.
Its a entertaining program well worth a look.
ADDENDUM- Watching it again, its a bit clunky and school masterly - but ultimately Goodhall argues, with success, the Beatles were extraordinary -,they changed music forever.
