Its too historically inaccurate to ever pin point a musical genre to one person/label/band. There are people who push genres forward and some who even create new genres, but all that comes from within a culture they belong to. Even James brown, the greatest musical artist of the 20th century impact wise, had influences that some people who claim"beatles invented modern music" don't know about from his own culture that came before him.
This is highly debatable because they arguably made heavy metal in Helter Skelter, created the concept album in Sgt. Pepper, created sampling, popularized the album as an artistic format to the point where in the 70's Led Zeppelin with their debut album was saying,"buy our album to hear our music, we aren't releasing a single" where rock bands were anti-single and pro-album. They popularized the album into making it an artistic endeavor, where the album was as important as touring. They also were among the pioneers of psychedelic rock.
While true, I've listened to original Beatles vinyls and it still proves to be true.
You're correct but it still makes The Simpsons comparison used earlier in the thread to be apt. The Simpsons was predated by shows like The Jetsons and The Flintstones which were inspired by shows like The Honeymooners but even then as far as animation comedy in America The Simpsons is still the blueprint even though shows came before or contributed to helping things get to that point. Even outside the confines of animation The Simpsons (alongside Married with Children) popularized the idea of the imperfect family in American tv which helped the creation of shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos due to the doors opened by The Simpsons. It was that influential even if others were doing similar things before it. Both can be true.

Look at this shyt, they were high as fukk and making avante garde rock music in the 60's when everyone else had a good, family values image.
Watch the video for Strawberry Fields.
Listen to other 60's music. There was nothing else like this at the time. Even this video itself. Beatles practically made the music video.
Bro, you're under estimating their impact.
The Elvis slander in this thread.Was he a weirdo groomer that copied superior Black artists? Yep. Are we gonna deny my mans had pipes? Nah nah we not doing that.
. This song is also a blassic.
I did get your general point though, and I mostly agree. I think the thing that makes the Beates so enduring in modern music is that they were for the most part, the first "do-it-yourself" garage band. They were a group of friends who got together, not at the behest of a record label, and wrote/ performed their own songs (along with popular covers), which was not really done at the time, and played their own instruments (and got better at them as time went on).
True and also the stuff I posted are also modern remasters and they still sound less full compared to the Beatles.
That's a fair argument and one I can agree with. I interpret that post with the way modern music sounds and the increase in the album as a viable artistic venture for artists. Good talk.
You didn’t know who les Paul was until you did some googles a second ago, I was deliberate with my words when I said popularized
Sure thing, kiddo. And you're still wrong even saying popularized.
