I see the Beatles as being innovators in the process of studio recording, musical experimentation, etc. more so than the actual (modern) sound and style of there music today. I never was a big Beatles fan myself, and I cant remember the last time that Ive listened to any of their music. I would go with the Rolling Stones blues/rock. At the same time I rank The Who just as high on the list. The Who accomplished and broke more boundaries musically than a lot of the other bands did.
