Default What if the Beatles never existed?

Came across this on Facebook earlier. Looks like it might be a pretty good movie!!!


"Yesterday" movie imagines a world without the Beatles.

Hush your mouth. The world would have ended by 1974 without the Fab Four.

My 8th grade friend wouldn't have had to go to counseling as he thought he was John Lennon and actually spoke like him....often,

Wes Montgomery would have never recorded his version of A Day In A Life. Imagine a guitarist of Montgomery’s stature stooping so low; I value the Beatles and all but so much of that period of the band was produced by the fifth member, George Martin.

I like the idea of such a film but how do we know someone has already not existed who was bigger than the Beatles?

If there had been no Beatles, there still would have been Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Dave Clark Five, Buddy Holly, etc., so I think the beat would have gone on.

I was talking to coworker a few weeks ago and mentioned Paul McCartney in the conversation.

A twenty something young man was a few feet away and said.

"Who's Paul McCartney"?

Just then did it occur to me that he, and many millions more, really didn't know.

Which made me realize how much MORE they don't know.

The Rolling Stones would STILL have been the world's greatest rock 'n roll band...

Being the huge Beatles fan that I am obviously I'm biased.
I know lots of twenty somethings and younger who know who the Beatles were and love a lot of their music.
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.

Probably true, but let's not forget the huge presence held at the time by the Dave Clark Five....
