The Beatles And Prog Rock

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I think that The Beatles were very influential, but their producer George Martin too, because he is a very smart person and he had a very open mind, and he also had the knowledge and talent to translate the musical ideas of  The Beatles (who couldn`t write or read music scores) to very good arrangements. He also was the pioneer of some technical innovations in the recording studios.

	Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991. A great experience to see. Maybe once in a lifetime.

	The Beatles basically started the "rock band," so of course it would landslide into progressive rock. Their influence in all things rock after their break-up is phenomenal, no one can match them.
