Beatles Bite Apple

blamanj writes "Apple Computer, which once got into hot water with the Beatles Apple record label, has been sued once again by the same group. Apple Records says iTunes and the iPod violate the previous agreement." Apple's broke their agreement in the past when speakers were first used with their computers to play music.

I know One isn't a Beatles album - it's a Beatles chart-toppers album. But hey, those are the songs that people loved most - those are the songs that made the Beatles popular. They are representative of how little credentials can be given to their fans.

Most people only know their shittiest songs, too, since those get a lot of air time on soft rock radios. So I can perfectly understand someone saying the Beatles sucked - they did create a lot of suck. In fact, their better, more experimental stuff gets very little airtime.

Frankly, the only thing that impresses me about the Beatles is how they went from shitty pop to some great psychedelic. Usually, bands start out good then sell out. The Beatles went the other way around.

As for their influence on the musical world - I think the most important influence on rock and its progenies is probably Bob Dylan. I think every time I hear some rock person talk about their influences, they mention mr Dylan. In fact, I think even the Beatles cited him as their chief influence at some point.
