Yes, George Martin was a huge part of the Beatles success, but THEY wrote the songs and for the most part, they pushed him in the direction THEY wanted to go.
Without the Beatles, there are literally thousands of people who would never had made music afterwards. It's not arguable.
I for one would probably have not picked up a guitar.
I already am quite aware of the many members on here who are not fans.
Just jealous, I guess.  |
Wow, what can I had to this? Yes, there have been other great musicians before and since, but the Beatles changed the music scene forever. I can’t say that I wouldn’t have picked up the guitar if the Beatles had never existed, but I can say that for me, they were a musical awakening. I’d never thought of wanting to play the guitar prior to that life- changing night I saw them perform on the Ed Sullivan show. Music had never affected me that way before. Yeah, the world would have gone on without the Beatles, but it makes me sad to think of a world without them.
