Reply to comment by TheVinylBird in How many of you would agree with me on The Beatles being overrated by drums-please-fab-

I'm not saying the Beatles had zero influence. Obviously they had a lot. My original comment was just about how I think they get too much credit and other bands would've been successful with or without them. It's not any deeper than that. And purely from a musical perspective, all the artists you listed had bigger influences than the Beatles. Easily verifiable

Also if you want to get into theory. Hendrix's famous E7#9 chord which he used over and over again was first used by The Beatles in The Taxman. George Harrison's use of the Dorian mode, from indian influence, on The Taxman solo was repeated just months later on Hendrix's Purple Haze solo...along with the E7#9 chord
