Or is this just a lazy opinion you're repeating because you've heard so many 50 somethings preach it like it's gospel?

Personally I think anybody under the age of 50 who picks an album from the 1960s and says it's the best album ever made should be shot.

Give me all the stick you want for me calling Screamadelica the greatest album ever but at least I was 17 years old when it was released and it actually meant something to the generation I grew up in.
it seems like you're attacking me lol..
well i wasn'nt alive when it was released i was actually born in the 90's but i remember the first time i heard that album i was speechless it was like everything i loved about music on one whole album i just can't explain how amazing it is to me...completely blew my mind away i have to thank my dad for showing me it.

The Byrds as musicians were techanically more skilled than The Beatles. And so was Les Paul, Chuck Berry, Duane Eddy, Dick Dale, The Ventures & Jimi Hendrix - read 'em and weep.

The Byrds were probably on a par with the Beatles and certainly better than the Beach Bods!!!

To continue Neopolitan's list...

Frank Zappa, too. The Mothers of Invention seriously out-ranked a lot of bands when it came to instrumental skill.

Love as well. Check out the first side of Da Capo for a serious ride of Rock, Jazz, and even one of the fastest songs of the day ("7 and 7 Is"). Forever Changes as well. Arthur Lee, Johnny Echols, and Bryan MacLean were clearly advanced, plus one-album member Tjay Cantrelli added some major flavor to the show for a while. They were THE US band to check out for a while, especially in the original line-up. They were high and above almost every Mid 60's band.



John Cale of The Velvet Underground also deserves a serious mention.

The Doors' trio of talented musicians are outstanding in their power.

Ron Elliot of The Beau Brummels, too.

There's a lot more...

Well maybe when it came to creating pop songs, but when it comes to guitar playing Roger McGuinn and Clarence White were more skilled, though John Lennon was under-rated as rhythm guitarist. When it comes to the 12 String guitar: Bells of Rhymney > Ticket to Ride. In fact George Harrison country licks (on Let It Be era) were inspired by Clarence White's playing, on the earlier albums it was Chet Atkins, Carl Perkins, and Buck Owens.
