And The Stones can put out as many new albums as they want, they will never be what they once were (I assume you were talking about The Stones when you said "new album") And I doubt that my whole argument was blown by a record that some washed up has beens put out |

The "British Invasion" was one of the most important musical events in history, and there's no disputing that the Beatles launched it. The musical and cultural impact of the British Invasion cannot be overstated:
""I Want to Hold Your Hand" zoomed to the top of the USA charts just as The Beatles came to America for the first time. Their historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964 was watched by what was then the largest television audience in history. This appearance was a remarkable social and cultural milestone of the 1960's, and marked the dramatic start of the British Invasion. The Beatles' two year backlog of hit songs from England quickly came to dominate the American charts, and on April 4 of that year they occupied the top five spots on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 music survey, a feat unmatched before or since. Their success opened the floodgates for other British acts to market their music in the United States, beginning with The Dave Clark Five. They were quickly followed (in rough chronological order of US chart success) by Gerry and the Pacemakers, Peter and Gordon, The Animals, The Kinks, Manfred Mann, Herman's Hermits, the Rolling Stones,The Yardbirds, The Zombies, and Petula Clark by the end of 1964." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Invasion

The Beatles were the originators of "Stadium Rock", with their famous concert at Shea stadium in 1965:
"The US tour really opened on August 15th with a concert scheduled in New York at the Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets baseball team. This was the first time in the history of music that a stadium was used for a rock concert! Seen by 55,600 fans, it created a new world record for a pop concert in terms of attendance and gross revenue. The Beatles' share of the $304,000 box-office takings was also a record - $160,000." http://www.maccafan.net/Gallery/SheaStadium/Shea.htm

The Beatles were the ones who influenced Dylan to go "electric". Dylan created a stir when he appeared at the 1965 Newport Jazz Festival with his electric guitar and backing band, the year after the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
"John and the Beatles were doing things nobody was doing. Their chords were outrageous, just outrageous, and their harmonies made it all valid. Everybody else thought they were for the teenyboppers, that they were gonna pass right away. But it was obvious to me that they had staying power. I knew they were pointing the direction where music had to go." --Bob Dylan
