You're saying the exact same thing I said. When did I say or imply that everyone should listen to the Velvet Underground or that they should have my taste, did you not read me saying the complete opposite? I don't give a shit what music is popular. This is about why the Beatles are popular and it's because they're accessible (thanks for repeating what I said), it's got nothing to do with innovation because people standing in a club don't listen to a tune and think to themselves 'oh wow, this is innovative', they think 'I can shake my ass to it and I can hum along to the melody'.

To think that the Beatles are the one band that became huge for being innovative while the others aren't just reeks of fanboyism.

Not the one. The First.

They're weren't particulary inovative, they just went with what was popular at the time, which is exactly what pop artists do today. The only reason the only reason the artists the article draws comparisons to have sold more music is because it's so cheap and easy to buy nowadays.

This man has obviously not listened to Sgt Peppers or Abbey Road.

whenever music doesn't interest me I just stay away from it, I don't check it.
while I try to stay away from what I don't care about I got an overload of Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, anyone,.. that people like to complain about.
it's ridiculous to know about the music everyone hates, just because everyone hates it.

start shutting the fuck up about what you don't like and start to share what's worth everyone's attention again.

I still mix jungle even if it seems no one cares, for my own love of the music.
but I won't share the crap that wasn't worth my attention in the first place.

Im not saying people listen to a track and think 'this person has used a sample of a tree in a song this is amazing as it hasnt been done before' im saying what the beatles did was a completely different sound to what everyone else was doing altogether and this sound is what created the music industry as we know it.
and by the way, i dont really like the beatles music but i appreciate the talent

1966


1999


Yeah, The Beatles weren't innovative at all. It's not like they almost invented psychedelic EDM 25 years early by manually fucking about with tape loops or anything.
