I'll concede that The Beatles were a much more influential band than N'Sync. I liked your point that The Beatles weren't influenced by corporate greed. I personally don't like them, but I'm not going to deny that their popularity obviously means that they were a good band.Allright, I'll agree with you that they weren't the only ones who influenced Rock. But if you can find one that was BIGGER, I'd like to hear it. THAT's my point. And, the use of reverse tracks, slowing and speeding up sounds, etc. was all them. they were creative, inventive, and did it because they loved it, not for the money. UNLIKE N'sync and all those "boy bands".

Just goes to show that if you love it, just do it man.A relevant fact relating the Beatles to not being sucked into corporate greed: their first record contract? A penny for each record sold. And that was to be split amongst the four Beatles (a farthing a piece). Had they shipped records outside of the UK, they got a half penny per record, and even THAT had to be split four ways.
Even George Martin said that was the worst record deal he's ever heard of.
switch "NIRVANA" and "the Beatles" in that sentence and it'll make sense.the only persont to have really changed music, was elvis. the beatles played music that people liked at the time just like any band does. music changes with time. if you really want to get into I believe nirvana had a bigger impact than the beatles ever did. nirvava is the only reason we have music like we do now.
That's unfortunate Father Jack. Listen to some Binkis Recs, Wu-Tang, Immortal Technique, KRS-one, Floyd the Locsmif...it will probably change your feelings about that.I can't stand hip hop
I was speaking in terms of the industry...not someones taste in music. Nirvana did what punk did. It got the records companies attention....the downside being we ended up with a tom of grunge wannabes....but at least it brought guitars and emotion back into rock music.Nirvana didn't change anything. In fact the only thing grunge proved was that distortion and self loathing sound great on heroin.
LOL!!!! You are awesome. That was the best sentence ever.Nirvana didn't change anything. In fact the only thing grunge proved was that distortion and self loathing sound great on heroin.
Ohhhhhh...raped!Ya know.... my lawn is emo. Lucky for me though. It cuts itself.
