I was speaking purely of lyrical content, I love the song but someone had said if you took away Dylan's lyrics you wouldn't have anything that could stand on it's own but lets face it Dylan wrote some pretty crap lyrics in some pretty amazing songs.

I assumed it was a jab at me. Its not trolling, Boo boo discredits an entire aspect of musical appreciation and I'm the one whose trolling.
The problem with you Ethan is if it doesn't adhere to whatever fickle fad you're following on a given day you make catty remarks about it. Explain to me how 3 foolish icons in a row is any retort. This is no different than Mr. Dave asking for paragraphs from jibber in the Corp thread. The only difference here is that I don't have breasts. Give it a rest. As for the Dylan lyrics, I don't see how those are bad, its more for aural acrobatics than it is supposed to be some monument to good writing. The words have purpose, its just a musical one.

1966: Beatles come out with the Brill Building-inspired Revolver, the most sophisticatedly poppy album they ever managed, getting further away from rock'n'roll than they had ever been previously. Meanwhile, what was going on elsewhere? The Blues Magoos and the 13th Floor Elevators were pioneering psychedelic experimentation on a grand scale, Frank Zappa was debuting with the groundbreaking concept album Freak Out!, the Fugs and the Seeds were playing around with avant-garde inspired freeform jams, the Yardbirds were out with Roger The Engineer, the list goes on and on... - ROCK music was being born!

Because thats unacceptable. Sure its not at all common for all bands to do that. Surely it isn't. You take ideas from your influences, thats normal for any artist. The Beatles took their influences ranging from rock n roll to pop to psychedelic rock and made something out of it. Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour may have taken ideas from the psychedelic rock movement, but the end result was not psychedelic rock, it was something different. Those albums along with Freak Out, Days of Future Past and Tommy really laid out the blueprints for the genre of prog. Quote:

If I need to state the case a bit clearer, then I will. The point here is that The Beatles were not in any way shape or form the be all and end all of music in the 1960s and had very little in terms of pioneering musical invention compared to the likes of the big players in the underground. They were a great band, yes, but a truly cutting edge one, no WAY. Anybody who claims otherwise is in a state of denial. And it is in that sense - the sense of claiming they were the greatest musical innovators of the rock era and the be all and end all of 60s music - that they are overrated. Such claims are so far from the truth, they're almost criminal. The great sonic revolutions were happening in entirely different corners of the map; compared to the underground creative standard of 67-69, the Beatles sound retro.
