I'll throw in that I heard Phil Collins say once in some old interview that, for "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", a pretty deliberately 'pop' sort of song, he did a Ringo impression on the drums. I'm not saying you can hear the Ringo-ness so undeniably loud and clear in the track, but Collins did state this. It's an impression, not an impersonation. (If anyone knows the interview please notify the poster. I can only remember that it dealt with the whole matter of how Genesis were invited to do the song on top of the pops, what happened with that, the lawn-mower sound effect, etc.)

![]() My wife reckons The Beatles nicked all their songs from The Carpenters, it's just a quirk of time that meant The Beatles version of Ticket To Ride was released first.

I think that's in the interviews for the remasters wich I've been watching recently. I think there's definitely some Beatles influence on that song and also in the drumming, the same could be said about Counting out time. |

I think the real influence that Beatles had on prog was that they, unlike many popular acts, were willing to improve their sound and experiment. Of course they were not the first and neither the most creative, experimental or technical, but when the most famous band of the age is willing to experiment with music to the point of sounding strange to fans and not being commercial, record companies, promoters, managers and broadcasting companies start to see other experimental artists with other eyes, so the whole environment keeps on pushing itself. That is what happened in the 60s, many of the most famous artists started experimenting and they created the environment needed to the birth of prog, and The Beatles had a important part in creating this environment.

Once they got past writing three-minute crowd pleasers, the Beatles wrote songs like "Revolution," (Revolution 1) and "Nowhere Man" -- songs with real meaning, with a message. They also began experimenting with sound. Listen to songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "I Want to Tell You" off the album, "Revolver." These aren't the same old pop songs that everybody else was making. The Beatles weren't just moptop rockers. And they weren't just making statements in their lyrics. Have you seen the album covers? They were designed to make statements too.
Concept albums, mixing effects, tape loops, unconventional instruments, unconventional ways of using conventional instruments, etc. started with them or were first popularized by them in rock music. Let us remember that the British Invasion -- of which The Beatles were the vanguard -- set the stage for youth-oriented music supplanting the like of the Rat Pack. It's is arguable that The Beatles created an appetite for other British rock bands with a harder edge that might not have otherwise been able to break into the US market so soon. They took rock, interpreted it and fed it back to us, giving us an entirely new way of looking at our entire culture. They are therefore the number #1 most important band in recent history. Oh yeah they influenced Robert Fripp to get into rock music after hearing "A Day in the Life".

Transatlantic's Suite Charlotte Pike off of Bridge Across Forever was intended to sound very influenced by The Beatles' Abbey Road Medley. When they play it live, they actually make a 30-minute medley of the two songs.

Would it be too adventurous of me to ask if anyone here would consider the song I Want You (She's So Heavy) the first progressive metal song?
Well, at least it would be really interesting to hear a cover of this song by a progressive metal band. |

A lot of stuff by 3 is very Beatlesque, I've noticed. I think Joey Eppard's voice helps. |

When I read about Transatlantic or Spock's Beard or even Kings X it makes me realize its those elements about each band the Beatles influence that stops me really liking them .. I consider the whole Beatles thing a little "OFF" the moment I hear it I know what it is and I just turn off the song/artist

Without resorting to mere examples of bands "sounding like the Beatles" their influence on Prog could be seen as much deeper : they experimented in the studio with various unusual techniques, they broke the 3 minute sound barrier with the emphasis on creating concepts within their albums, they experimented with many different types of instruments, one of which could change the whole mood of the song, they studied many different cultures and trancended the whole concept of pop music into something more serious - the rest is Prog history!

There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"
