the rest are copycats,,,

The debate during 1968 was between either "The Kinks" -- "You Really Got Me" -- or "The Yardbirds" "inventing" "hard rock" -- a label that was later changed to "heavy metal". And they tend to think of John Lennon as a rocker though he was every bit as good, and sometimes better at ballads, than McCartney: listen to "This Boy".

No. You cannot say that.

After their breakup more of 100 songs have been released that never made it on on their albums. So the Beatles had way more than 300 songs.

Well... Maxwell's Silver Hammer and She's Leaving Home.. but yeah, most of them are great.

They made 13 albums in 7 years, one time 12 songs in the studio on a single day. What did you expect :- ]

They're not all great: 'Wild Honey Pie', 'Revolution No. 9' to name but two!

@@philipchambers4165 Agreed, Grew up with them, did not like those two.

Prince, only beaten by the Beatles and David Bowie.

@@bobwoolerOriGinal : Well, in that proverbial jam session in the sky, the likes of Nina Simone, Aretha, Bobby Marley, and Jimi Hendrix are lookin' over to THAT clique of Beatles, Bowie, and Prince, knowing that the Crewe of Qwelle will come up with some audacious setlist. It's wut they do. Speaking of Bowie, the Dude cornered cool when he first sat down to a piano as a kid, no doubt. But when he married Iman--the dude MARRIED Iman!!--the Gods themselves on high just gave it up and muttered, haplessly: "Dayum. How, er, in Heaven are we gonna top THAT??"

Girl please! You got this right...

When you listen to certain Prince songs you can clearly hear the Beatles influence. Raspberry Barret comes to mind.

@@donnydomingo9962 : Absolutely! Two songs immediately "pop" into mind, Raspberry Berry was a very cheeky, loving allusion to the Beatles psychedelic folk-classicism fusion, circa 1965-1967 (the video with Prince in a quasi-Pepper and Yellow Submarine costume further solidifies his shout-out); Pop Life and Around the World in a Day and so many others also convey Prince's shout-outs to the Fab Fah. But for me, it's Prince's wild eclecticism -- funk, hardrock, soul, pop, folk, psychedelic rock--his fearless, bravura embrace of all kinds of musical styles and cultures that most closely resembles the Beatles' own anarchic rejection of confining labels. There are many artists who will try a different style once and in a while. But only the Beatles and Prince defined their styles by having no end of styles, no end of experiments: they could revise, re-think, re-Imagine (oh, yeah, pun intended) because that was and will always be their particular genius. THAT is what links them.

YES it is🙌🙏

No this wasn't the first hard rock song. I'm mean c'mon Jimi Hendrix first album was full of hard rock which came out over a year earlier and you had bands like Blue Cheer and Iron Butterfly who released albums earlier in 1968.

@@dsfddsgh All those groups didn’t play rock as hard as in Helter Skelter. Jimi Hendrix was doing a kind of blues-psychedelic rock, but not hard rock at all

It's definitely not the 1st hard rock song, and not the 1st heavy metal track. There is actually no such thing, as a "first time", because it is all the result of a development. The Beatles (who, by the way, already released "Hardrock" in 1965 with "I'm down" and even earlier quite wild rock'n'roll tracks) often added "something special" to such developments and also had the fantastic talent, to present every style convincingly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Nah. This was described by Paul as a response to "I can see for Miles" by The Who. Velvet Underground had already put out their first album prior to this (Punk-Hard-Garage rock). I would describe it as hard rock as well as Hendrix , Cream, Yardbirds. Hard Rock already existed. This was just the Beatles pushing the boundaries of the form. Also there was a guy named Link Wray who put out a single in the early 60's called "Rumble". I would describe it as "Hard Rock".

This made Charles Manson go insane

Pretty sure you’re mistaken about that, but it’s all good.

So true.

whithout even hearing the other one ajajajja brillant

Exactly right.

AND PAUL sings BOTH of those songs, in a totally different voice

Yeah, but in this song, it’s also a euphemism for sex.

“I Saw Her Standing There”, “Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey”, “Dizzy Miss Lizzy”, etc.

On THIS song, yes, but most of the time Paul was on bass, George was lead, and John was rhythm guitar

I'd add Yer Blues, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, Yesterday, Rocky Racoon, She's Leaving Home, Across the Universe only to see the diversity of The Beatles. Considering that 3 out of 6 titles come from the same album is astounding. And it's still just scratching the surface. The best one can do is just go through all their songs in the order (some albums just should be listened this way as the songs are directly linked with one music still fading and other already starting or simply the way they are connected, either by similarity or contrast).
