Well, if you want me to stop, please don't write things like: "The Beatles never covered the Beach Boys (...) The sound of the Beatles was something never heard before (...) without them (the Beach Boys, ed.) they probably would have continued playing surf music for quite a while (since on albums like Shut Down Volume 2 or Little Deuce Coupe, surf is completely absent, the Beatles had just started recording)." That has nothing to do with the discussion, so please, spare me those kinds of comments.

"Then it takes him a day to respond because he doesn't know what to say" I have a social life too D:
Pierino??? Well, whatever. "Yeah, I noticed that some things are copied word for word from good Scaruffi" OH MY GOD AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHA :°°°°°°°°°°°D

Scaruffi would do well to teach math rather than being a know-it-all; according to him, the Doors would be a 9/10 band, just to mention one. I hated the Beatles before I met Scaruffi.

Giola: I'm not referring to Strawberry Fields Forever or Tomorrow Never Knows, even though there are better examples of psychedelic rock from that era; to name the most obvious ones: Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd (especially The Piper At The Gates of Dawn), Donovan, 13th Floor Elevators; also worth mentioning are the Beach Boys, Love, the more recent and "simpler" The Mamas & the Papas, then Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, The Amboy Dukes, Overdose of Heavy Psych, The Kingsmen, etc...

It doesn’t take much to realize that the Beatles owe all their melodic and simple style to the early works of the Beach Boys.

"without them, they would probably have continued playing surf music for quite a while." AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA HAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAH AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, I repeat my question, "Can you point out where I wrote that a quality song should last more than three minutes?" I'm not talking about experimentation here; certainly not everything experimental is of quality. And come on, the experimental Beatles—please.

They were a mix of the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys, but unfortunately, they would never reach the originality of the EB, let alone the vocal style of the Beach Boys, two bands from across the ocean that, when mixed in Europe, created a Beatles effect that drove the girls crazy. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- --

I’m sorry to quote that idiot Scaruffi, but he’s right here: "Beatles fans thought (and many still think today) that using trumpets in a rock song was a revolutionary thing, that using some background noise (hardly audible, mind you) was even more revolutionary, and that only great musical geniuses could vary in so many styles within the same album (which is precisely what many rock musicians were doing around the world, and with much broader stylistic excursions)."

I meant to say that they had been making songs like that for 10 years already.

Hello? Is anyone there?? I just talked about the Beach Boys, but did the Beach Boys make 15-minute songs????

Can you point out where I said that a quality song should last longer than three minutes? :|
Have you ever listened to Area, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Velvet Underground, Glenn Branca, Throbbing Gristle, Schönberg, Etron Fou Leloublan?
