Besides the whole image/sociology thing, the Beatles were/are a success
for these reasons, IMO:
I'm always astonished that such vapid music achieves recognition among
the most musically literate people.
1. Genius song writing. Sure the very early stuff is fairly fluffy,
but later, the three writers turned out stuff for the ages.
Which grouping has "Get Back" and "Hey Jude"?
I'm not sure. Where do "I am the Walrus," "A Day in the Life," and
"Eleanor Rigby" fit in?
Frank Sinatra called "Something" one of the greatest love songs ever
written.
3. George Martin; 'nuff said.
I'm sure you meant "Sir George Martin." :-)
Yes sir. Or is it yes; Sir? ;-)
