The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

The Beatles are like Coldplay. Just because they were popular doesn't mean they were good.

I'd say bands such as Black Flag and artists like Laurie Anderson have had a profound effect on music as a whole. As far as popular culture, the only ones that have come close in a "popular culture" sense have been the hair bands of the 80's, and hip hop from the 90's until today.

The video says it is, why would someone lie on the internet?
Ayden Howard
I know, I know...
I just have this weird feeling it's not really Paul....
Just SOMETHING feels off about it.
Carson Ortiz
It's propably the lyrics, it's too vulgar for McCartney, propably why it was only a demo and was buried deep on Abbey Road for decades
Andrew Brooks
No I mean...the voice feels...off.
That's not the McCartney voice I know and love...
Metallica IS a badass name tho, surprised he didn't go with it...I'm sure someone else will get a use out of it tho.
