It's just simply incredible the appeal that The Beatles still have today. I watched a relatively new documentary on their songwriting as the link between classical and pop. The composer who hosted the show made mention of two people who changed all the music that came after them; Bach and Wagner, and said The Beatles will be included. I have absolutely no ear for pitch and such, so music theory is completely opaque to me, but the documentary had a lot of interesting stuff. Howard Goodall's Great Masters or something like that. Anyway, back to The Beatles. I happened to notice that my Facebook feed had a list of the most popular music in the Georgia State network, and this list went 1. rap 2. r&b 3. The Beatles. So 18-22 year olds apparently find The Beatles to be more important than the entire rock genre. For a band that broke up almost 40 years ago.... I don't think you can really call them just a rock band. They transcended that somehow and made truly incredible music, not just rock and roll. Their songs are imprinted in our racial consciousness, at least in the west, and I don't see that going away. I guess I could try to heap more superlatives on them, but what's the point? It's all been said before.
