right.....your homework assignment is to turn on the radio tomorrow at 12PM and listen to any rock and roll station in the nation....by 12 midnight let me know if you heard more songs from the beatles or the mighty Led Zeppelin...
You may be right, but that doesn’t prove anything. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, but the Beatles had well-over one hundred solid, timeless, instantly recognizable songs that THEY wrote. Plus whatever came after the breakup which will no doubt ultimately be included in their discography. (McCartney and Starr are still first Beatles, then whatever else. There really is no debate about this. Jimmy Page was a master in the studio, but all RECORDED music becomes derivative... Stale. The covers and reinterpretations will survive better into the future. I’m talking 200 years from now... Even then a handful of Beatle songs will be instantly recognized, regardless of the person’s awareness of the artist.
