You aren't alone in that opinion, but I'm guessing many of you also aren't old enough to remember The Beatles appearing on The Ed Sullivan show for the first time, and the stir they caused.
Their earlier music is very simple really. But it was part of a formula used at the time of radio friendly, singable songs. You can see how they evolved as a group along the way and how their music became more complex.
There were others around at the time who were also very good, but not too many reached the heights or generated the hype The Beatles did. They just had a mass appeal, and for many who grew up in that generation, they were a formative part of their love for music.
Music has truly come a long way since those days, but you can't forget how we got here. I wonder how many modern artists would cite the Beatles as inspiration?
