I usually stay out of arguments about cultural appropriation but I can't stand this. George had utmost respect for Indian culture and Hinduism and dedicated most of his life to it.
IT IS BELIEVING

Nah but I agree. George lived and died by his believes in Hinduism.
The thing that I love about Rubber Soul and Revolver is that for their vocals all still sound more like their boyband era rather than their rock/art rock/psych rock/etc era. It's well, a great middle point for their career. Which it literally is, but still.
Mid Beatles best Beatles definitely
Their voices especially ringo's changed so drastically by the end of their careers. Ringo sounds like a chipper grandpa on Octopuses' Garden
honestly, i'm pretty liberal and believe in cultural appropriation in certain circumstances, but the idea of "bad" cultural appropriation in music seems dumb
the only way music advances is by artists copying other artists
Best era my friends
True this. And it's not like a lot of the stuff was simple assimilation either. Love You To for example, down to its song structure and the musical theory behind it, is more Indian than the average Bollywood track one can listen to today and Harrison also went so far as to getting actual Indians/Asians to do more on the track than the rest of The Beatles themselves.
It does seem that their later stuff just didn't do the vocal harmony stuff as much, just a little bit of the usual lead/backing stuff as well.
Who were The Beatles of the nineties? Nirvana? That's the only band I can think of that comes remotely close.
It's always a woman doing this shit.
John was right
