Note these JOURNEY studio releases: Journey (1975) Look Into The Future (1976) Next (1977) Infinity (1978) Evolution (1979) Departure (1980) Dream After Dream (1980) Escape (1981) Captured (1982) 1 studio song Frontiers (1983) Raised on Radio (1987) Greatest Hits (1989) 2 studio songs Trial By Fire (1996) Arrival (2000) (US: 2001) Red (2002) Generations (2005) Steve Perry sings on 9 of the 16 Journey albums. What a great vocalist. But the band sucks? That's why Steve put out one good solo album (Street Talk), one solo album with 1 good song (For The Love Of Strange Medicine), one solo album that the record company rejected and never released, and a Greatest Hits album. Steve Perry fired Steve Smith. Yes, Vital Information Steve Smith. Steve Perry fired Ross Valory and hired American Idol Randy Jackson to play bass. That was Steve's last tour with Journey. And nobody is knocking his door down currently. and the rest of the Suck Band? NEAL SCHON played GUITAR for CARLOS SANTANA. If you play Guitar for Santana, you don't need to defend your ability to play guitar. JONATHAN CAIN brought "Open Arms" to Journey. Once Steve recorded it with Journey, Columbia demanded "more songs like that". It made Journey a Rock Ballad machine. It wasn't just Steve. GREG ROLIE played organ for CARLOS SANTANA. If you play Organ for Santana, you don't need to defend your ability to play Organ. ANSLEY DUNSBAR play drums for about a dozen bands and made a whole lot of money being in Whitesnake during their heyday. Welcome to Journeyzone.com

You forgot the Velvet Underground mate.Other then that, agreed. Beatles changed mainstream music forever, Velvets changed the underground scene greatly too. A lot of artists(Little Richard etc) changed music greatly too

So this has actually leaked... interesting. Do you have the full 13 minute version?

But you must cut The Beatles some slack... they couldn't hear a single note they were playing, because the girls were screaming so loudly! That's why they usually played shows only for about 35-45 minutes, and ultimately, a large portion of the reason why they quit playing shows altogether.

Then what makes them so extraordinary to you?

I think Ringo Starr was a very good drummer (I don't know how's his playing now). Just try to play his songs exactly the way he did and it's not that easy. I mean, he doesn't do impressively fast jaw-dropping fills or anything but his drumming is everything but repetitive and adds up to the songs. I remember a quote by him saying that he could not develop his drumming very well on tour with the Beatles because he could never hear himself or the other guys' instruments (because of the girls' screams) so he had to keep up the beat and almost never do fills or anything.

Sebastian wrote: Compare 'Yesterday' with 'Bo Rhap': Paul is responsible for the (extraordinary) chord progression in 'Yesterday', the (brilliant) melody and the (superb) lyrics; George Martin is responsible for the actual violin, viola and cello parts, as well as the mixing and conducting of the string quartet(s). In the case of 'Bo Rhap', Fred is responsible for the chord progression, the melody, the lyrics, the title, the vocal arrangements, the guitar parts, the bass parts, the drums punctuation, the piano parts, and Roy was in charge (with Freddie) of producing.

It has nothing to do with respecting opinions. It's a matter of being informed about history, and knowing how much The Beatles affected music and popular culture as a whole. Anyone is entitled to give an opinion and object to anything - as long as they have grounds for doing so. But in the case of The Beatles, there's no way it can be denied that they left more of a mark than any other band.
