I agree, I don't think Yoko broke up the band at all. There was already a lot of tension going on before Yoko showed up. Also I think Please Please me deserves a little more credit, even though it's their earliest work, I think it's their best out of their first three or four or so albums. I sadly don't listen to the Beatles that much anymore, but my favorite albums back in the day were Rubber Soul, Revolver, and the White Album

Surely the Winstons' 'Amen, Brother', from whence came the amen break? Video said so
...and with 'Tomorrow Never Knows' that track (even the whole UFO Club proto-rave culture in London) is really prescient and captured the vibe but somehow I doubt the originators - the guys experimenting with mixing for the dancefloor in the late 70's - referred back to 'Revolver'. I think the drugs and the club culture necessitated the music rather than the other way round, in which case you could argue the amphetamine-fuelled all-nighters of 60's mods and northern soul as being 'influential', it all bleeds into funk and disco... the way I see it the umbrella of electronic dance music was an American innovation that blossomed abroad, there's alot to cover and not everyone's going to agree. As has been said you can blame disco, Kraftwerk and synth pop classics I guess. |

If anything, Sgt. Pepper's has that Citizen Kane syndrome, where for so long, hipsters and others didn't like it simply BECAUSE it got so much praise from the mainstream that it actually fell into underrated territory, that's how overrated it got. But it isn't my favorite.
Magical Mystery Tour is their most underrated album, I really like it.

I like the Beatles. I have been to Beatlemania two times and loved it. I would say that John is my favorite Beatle. I would say I'm a fan of their music. I just can't stand Ringo, at all.

I know the song has influenced the Chemical Brothers, Eno, King Crimson, Radiohead, Oasis, Beck and Public Enemy based a track around this track. Even Hendrix would cover this song live. Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera did a radical version of this track. This is the first time drums were looped in a song I think. Psychedelic sounding samples that provide a musical background. It could be The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows - arguably one of the most futuristic pop songs of the 20th Century. This was years before Kraftwerk.
