I think you are falling into the trap most Scaruffites do; raising innovation too high. There is zero doubt that the Beatles were a consistently good pop band, but in all honesty, someone who bags out the VU as much as you do has no idea. I'd really like to know what musical genres you listen to Jazz99.
The reason I ask is because I feel that this wank-fest over the Beatles stems from the fact that most people who like them either grew up with the idea that the Beatles are the height of musical genius and could latch on to their easy to digest songs, or had their first proper musical experience (all the awful stuff we all listen to as kids doesn't count) with the Beatles.
I'm the same way with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Bag out their latest stuff all you like, but I'll defend their mid 80s - mid 90's stuff to the death. But I can understand that is because I had my first proper musical experience with the RHCP, my opinion is biased towards them, and can understand why people don't love them like I do.
Your love of a band should be unaffected by what other say of them. Scaruffi says the Beatles weren't extremely original, and gives reasons why. So? How does it affect you? Why does it matter who invented what anyways? Wow, the Beatles invented folk rock and jangle pop! Who cares?
And this is in no way directed at you, callanyvegatable. You are one of the few Beatles fans who has managed to articulate your thoughts in a non-derogatory manner. Also, you named yourself after a bitchingly humourous Zappa song!

Cheers, I know I'm an awful mixer, but I think I did alright on at least the first few transitions. The first song was Mountain People001 by Mountain People, whilsts the first vocal one and the second overall was Fading by Superpumas, but get the whole album called Muscles, it's really consistent, I did a review here:
Good to see you compare the Beatles influencing a few indie rock bands and one progressive metal one, verses Kraftwerk influencing house, trance, synthpop, hip hop, regular pop and basically anything with a keyboard in it.
Pretty Hate Machine and Replicas are both very close to getting on here as well, maybe the next update.

Well, there's obviously SoulSeek, that's pretty much where I got them all from.
Song #3 is Make Luv (Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham)
I'm curious as to whether people here grew up with/had early musical experience with the Beatles or not....

Not really familiar, but I've heard songs/albums. Death not as much, but still.
Sorry dude, but I know next to nothign about metal, and have heard of ALL of those.
It's on my to do list. Tomorrow it is!
Firstly, there isn't very much goa/psy in the top 100 or so.
Secondly, I agree with darktremor that those songs in the top 50 are better than the rest, regardless of age.
Good to see someone liking Alan Partridge, Dark Place and IT Crowd other then me.
Great review. My thoughts exactly.
Good to see you compare the Beatles influencing a few indie rock bands and one progressive metal one, verses Kraftwerk influencing house, trance, synthpop, hip hop, regular pop and basically anything with a keyboard in it.
