I got John which is at least better than Paul I guess.

Paul McCartney for me. Close enough I suppose.

I also got half George, half Paul.

The parts that I feel are true about me are in bold below:

You're George Harrison:
You're a deeply spiritual person, but you also have a low tolerance for foolish behavior. Some people mistake your quiet nature for passivity, though you actually have strong opinions on many subjects. Sometimes you prefer to just be left alone, but please sit in the sunlight for just a few hours each day - it'll be good for you.

You're Paul McCartney:
I didn't agree with much of what was said except "You're ambitious and hard-working, and you want to be appreciated for it." I've never felt things came particularly easy for me...it always takes work. Also, I'm not a very social person (unlike Paul, apparently) in that I don't yearn for frequent contact with lots of friends. I dislike parties although I can make good small talk and apparently appear at ease and outgoing when really I'd just like to be at home, relaxed, with close family members, or by myself, typing on the computer...on MusicBanter. Hmm.

This is one of many tracks that the Beatles inspired genres with like as in Helter Skelter inspired a heavier more grittier sound.

The Beatles did make a brilliant song with this and like many people have said it didnt inspire that genre it just gave a new sound and those genres have taken it and built on it, this is why the Beatls are the Best band ever. Without them many brilliant bands wouldn't be around today.:yeah:

now that, is the most ridiculous thing ive ever read.

i cant agree with you that the beatles helped shape the likes of hardcore. i agree that they looped etc. but i still dont get how it shaped hardcore. hardcore was influenced by the acid house movement, maybe i mistook you for meaning the full electronica scene, when you really meant the other side to it, that i dont listen to much.

OK, you've got me on the drum n bass sound, but this predates it by 3 years;




...and this from 1967 should be on the list immediately after "Tomorrow Never Knows", if only for its huge influence on Fatboy Slim;



...and this, from the US, 1968;



If only there were recordings from that time - your speculation has the ring of truth about it, but TNK is the earliest (and most popular, hence single most influential) document of this sort of music... unless you know of some?

I am really surprised that the Silver Apples are not on this list...Extremely ahead of their time in terms of originality and Kraftworks influence to name one band.


Example of them: "Oscillations" - Silver Apples (1968)

Wow.......Just wow........:banghead:

The Beatles were the best band to ever grace this world, without them allot of cornballs in allot of diffrent genres in rock wouldn't have a gig today......

I think I'd rather dance to Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock" than "Oscillations" - or anything else the Silver Apples put out. It's interesting, from an electronica point of view, but not very funky.

The list is of acts that were influential on Dance music - and, since "Psyche Rock" formed the basis of Fatboy Slim's career, it's more of a mystery why that was left off.

There's rafts of stuff that appeared on the KPM Library label in the late 1960s/early 1970s that should be there too - practically anything by Alan Hawkshaw and his predecessor, Mick Weaver, AKA Wynder K. Frogg, Booker T and the MGs - not to mention loads of Surf music, Northern Soul, Motown etc;


1961 - The Birth of The Beat... oh, actually, that's a different track :D



1964 - Booker T;



1964 ...any excuse :D




1967 - best (and first!) cover of Sonny and Cher's original



1967 - The Frogg!



1968 - The inimitable Mr Hawkshaw



1969 - the amazing Mr Mansfield (who also recorded loads of stuff for the KPM libraries)

i dont see how the beatles influenced these which are electronica.






im no music critic but seriously that sounds nothing like the beatles. i cant grasp the fact of the beatles influencing these songs. it just doesnt work for me.
