Without goiving this too much thought, I submit that the Beatles invented
the rock band, period. They invented st5udio albums, They invented
breaking up. They invented going solo. Every rock band you want to name--
Floyd, U2, Led Zep, whatever-- is in the Beatles' debt and exists in their
wake, and the Beatles deserve some of the credit for these bands' subsequent
wakes. When someone invents something as big as a rock band that is totally
post-rock-band, I'll consider their impact next to the Beatles.
