It's really hard for me to come up with anyone that can seriously contend with The Beatles. You don't have to even like them, all you have to do is listen to the music that was around before the Beatles really took off, and then listen to the music that was around after the Beatles were popular. Before, you have...crap. After, you have...(you get the gist)

Yes, besides Davis/Coltrane/Ellington and maybe some occasional Johnny Cash, those artists are crap.

also did some really just list BJORK as one of the most innovative artists of the 1900's? oh my ****ing lord

Wow. Just wow. So Equivel, who was innovating with studio trickery long before the Beatles, was just crap? Chuck Berry, who was one of the Beatles' major early influences, was crap? BB King, who was one of the major influences on the rock music of the 60s and 70s, was crap? All I can say is wow.

King and Berry were really skilled guitar players for their time but nothing is very interesting about their music, and very little is interesting at all about any of the music from 1900-1965 besides some of the amazing jazz that was being made.

I don't know why but whenever I see someone who's clearly into their music say they don't like the Beatles, I don't actually believe them and I think they're saying it for effect, or vaguely trolling. They're the only band that this applies to, I can just about get my head around someone not liking any other given artist in existence, but somehow not the Beatles.

or Lawnmower Deth.

They are legends and all but they are okay to me.

I think their hype puts people off sometimes because the Beatles fans make it seem like they are the end all be all of music and they are not.

I have no idea how to actually answer this question. Too many variables.

Ja, pre-Beatles music had crap but there was also a lot of great music to go with it, just as you had so much more crap in post Beatles (and during the Beatles era) bands alongside great music. Popular music did improve somewhat, but it's really just the rise of rock that's associated with that.
