or Nowhere Man and Koo Koo Kajoo What hasn't been said about The Beatles? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they were The Greatest:) Just bought the complete Beatles video anthology--very cool. And confirmed what an awesome LIVE band they were. Wow. I still can't figure HALF the chords they use. And noticed how structurally sophisticated and sturdy their melodies are. Most bands these days seem stuck in Grooveland--nothing wrong with that. But variations on blues however funky and fun, generally don't grab my cortex and stand up over time. This is why most of the Stone's stuff since 1982 bores me. The Stones were neck and neck with them. For a while. But the Beatles were rigorously grounded in melody--all their magical harmonies and momentum and just right placement of mood and instruments served the foundation of melody. Moreso than any band I can name. Even when they rocked.
