Say what you want about them or their politics etc. Talent the level of Lennon and McCartney only comes along every 400 years or so. We were privileged to live in a time when it came along.
I make no knock on them and felt that two or three of their recordings were very good. But - with no need to argue the issue - that remark about the level of talent every 400 years seems like a quite inexperienced posture in the realm of music.
The Beatles and George Martin are to music AND stereo sound what Stradivarius was to the violin. Perfect match of materials and talent came together to make something on a higher plane than what everybody else was making. They changed art in such a remarkable way that we are still arguing over it 50+ years later. It does not surprise me guys on 24HCF don't get it.
Well - is it really "art" that they changed and that folks argue about? Yes, clever and innovators to a limited extent - but quite a bit of BeatllesMusicStereoHyperbole in that post. Some guys on the Campfire get all of it very well, but their knowledge, skills and taste get them to a different elevation. But, I would appreciate knowing about the Stradivarius level ultra-advanced stereo sound equipment they created/invented.

It does not surprise me that you misunderstood my comment about stereo sound just like it doesn't surprise me that I mentioned George Martin and the OP replied "D18" which is a Martin guitar mostly unrelated to the subject.
Hyperbole? No, the Beatles did a lot more for modern music than a Strad ever would, but I was trying to paint a picture for the old crusty guys on the fire.

Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.
They were way over rated. Just read the lyrics to Yellow Submarine. It is just garbage. I think by the time they wrote that song, they were so big, that they deliberately wrote garbage just to see if they could sell it. Sort of a joke on the entire world. And they did sell it! Yellow Submarine was so popular they made a movie from it.
Don't get me wrong they were a great group and made some great music, and they also made millions selling garbage like Yellow Submarine.

The Yellow Submarine album was them appeasing contractual obligations with songs that didn't make the cut on other projects as well as George Martin piecing together other work to try and fill the obligations.
They did not make a movie from it either as the movie came before the soundtrack.
It's obviously [bleep].

Not chit lyrics, or maybe? but consider the times & mindset of the day. Borderline getting booted of the air, everywhere. In some locations it did.
Writing, Saying/singing a message that nearly got banned. Tricky, talented IMO. And, a pretty neat song. Shook things up at the time, another era. And, who in rock used a Sitar? The Stones did, the Doors as well, but,,,,,,,,,, the Beatles led that as well.
