What is your opinion on The Beatles' impact on modern popular music? Are there any other bands with similar impacts on their genre(s)? Why them and not others?

A pop song was 2.5 minutes long and dealt with love. Everything was gridlocked. But then it went quite well that way — at least for the industry.

And yet new bands are born every day, each owing a debt to the Beatles, even as they emulate their favorite Velvet Underground or Stooges records which, at the time, were meant to be a reaction to The Beatles increasingly slick pop mastery.

Fans of the band will probably shake their heads at my ignorance at the time. Of course I am talking about “Magical Mystery Tour”. This record was packaged in the format of two EPs in a beautiful gatefold accompanied by a 24-page booklet. Only for later releases the tracklist was filled up with some non-album singles, resulting in a “real” album.

Why did Amazon initially deny leave of absence to Alexis Scott-Windham, the Amazon worker who survived the New Orleans terrorist attack?

To make my point a little clearer, I would like to tell you a little story from my completely insignificant career as a musician. When I had recorded a few songs with my band, I had the idea to release them in an unusual format — a double EP. A gatefold double album with two discs, EPs with four songs each.

Whoever loves music must also love the Beatles. But those who love music would have to hate the Beatles just as much. For their voraciousness. Because they simply left nothing for those who came after them.Look at these articles below to further prove my point, while the titles might be misleading, it offered some valid points as to how The Beatles impacted the modern pop industry (for worse).

The Beatles were great. I can't imagine my childhood without them, but here's the thing - they weren't actually a part of my youth. They were gone by then. It was only because there was nothing else as good that generation after generation has been fed such a steady diet of Beatles songs. Don't get me wrong, they're great songs, but, for our own good, it's time to move on.

They were the first to break out of the corset of the standardized pop song. They were the first to turn to more serious subject matters. They were the first to utilize the studio as an instrument. They were the first to establish video as an art form.

The great advantage of the Beatles: they were simply there first. John, Paul, George and Ringo had a white sheet of paper in front of them and were given lots of crayons. So they used them to their heart’s content.

After all, the band that had, in one single glorious performance, alienated every grown-up on the planet with their long hair and devil music was now penning songs like "When I'm 64" and sudenly everybody's mom and dad liked them. Well, why wouldn't they? McCartney had written the song at the age of 16 while still in his skiffle band phase. Once rock & roll came along, he rightfully left such music in the dust and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Beatles were an unparalleled innovation machine

I mean, our entire growth as human beings has been stunted by the fucking Beatles. It's laughable that we live in a world where a band as dangerous and sinister as the Stones once were is now touring in celebration of their 50th anniversary.

But at the latest when Elvis moved his hips towards the army and Chuck Berry went to jail, the rock ’n’ roll train came to a standstill. Pop music in the early sixties was characterized by well-cropped young men in suits holding their guitars too high and good girls smiling innocently into the camera.

Now, let me say that I don't disliked The Beatles, in fact, I liked some of their songs, but with all the criticisms and the deteriorating quality of the modern pop music (catchy tunes, similar sounds, repetitive lyrics, and monotonous beats), and given that half of the modern pop artists were influenced by The Beatles (Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and other acts), we could safely say that The Beatles are to be blame for what the modern pop music had become? Of course, there's Michael Jackson, Madonna and others, but still, the root cause could be traced back in either The Beatles and Elvis Presley, and in this case, The Beatles became more influential than Elvis Presley.

The Beatles claimed everything for themselves — love it or hate it!

Today’s standard pop song, on the other hand, is characterized by a relative lack of courage in terms of innovation (and yes, of course I am generalizing here): short and concise in form, with uniform structures, limited range, and typical recurring melodic patterns.

Another one:

To my knowledge, this idea had never been realized before. All the more I was disappointed when a friend of mine pointed out to me that such a format already existed. Even more: It had not been published by some obscure Hurdy-Gurdy quartet from South Korea, no, it was the Beatles! Of course the Beatles! Who else?

Is such a thing even possible? I don't know, but the next time you or some other musicians sets out to write a new song, it'd be nice if even just one of you asked "Has this been done before?" and if the answer is yes (be honest), then don't fucking do it because we absolutely do not fucking need it. You want to be John Lennon or Paul McCartney, then come up with your own song and make the world imitate you for 50 years like a bunch of idiots.

Why do people turn a blind eye to bad behaviour if someone is very good looking? Whereas if someone is ugly, they get harshly judged for everything?

In short, the Beatles are everywhere. Not just in their physical presence, but in their cultural influence. While you’ve likely heard the Beatles greatest hits compilations while you were still in the womb, you probably aren’t as familiar with the music they were inspired by (or some would say ripped off). Artists like Chuck Berry and Bobby Parker, even after their deaths, haven’t really gotten their fair shake. And that’s not just unfortunate — it makes music worse.

In the mid-sixties, the Beatles were an unparalleled innovation machine. Everything seemed possible. For the very simple reason that there was almost nothing there yet.

The result, of course, is 50 years of music that remains stuck in the past. While Lady Gaga may be the first to work with puke as a medium, it's all smoke and mirrors, mere slight of hand meant to distract you from the fact that she's doing absolutely nothing new musically.

Here are some of the valid points I’ve found from some sources, the links of the sources are posted below after the quotes:

The Beatles transformed dull standard pop into exciting art. They incorporated unusual instruments like sitar or mellotron into their songs, recorded tracks at half speed, and even the lyrics moved away from the usual boy-meets-girl narrative.

How frustrating must it have been to try to break new ground as a musician starting in the 1970s (Remember: Even then, pop music was still a young phenomenon), only to find that the Beatles had long since left their footprints?

Try as they might, Big Star, Cheap Trick, and Badfinger were never as big as The Beatles, but their worldwide status owes a grea debt to the band because, let's face it, they weren't doing anything that different from what the Fab Four had done. In normal instances, if your cool new band set out to create a sound that the Beatles had already made, and better, someone might ask you why, but, as you can see, nobody has asked the question.

It's time to stop emulating what has already been done better and start creating things that haven't been done by anyone before. I know that's a tall task, as there are still only 12 notes to play with and only so many ways to arrange them, but that shouldn't stop someone somewhere from creating something that changes the world that owes absolutely no debt to The Beatles.

I’ve realized this just now, really…..

As so often with the Beatles, this idea was born partly out of necessity (there were six songs to be released), partly out of chance or even chaos, but also out of the band’s desire to experiment.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Thing is, it seems every generation that the Beatles are introduced to is immediately left comatose, unable to do anything but emulate the band's obvious genius instead of coming up with something of their own. Even as folks like Kanye West and Trent Reznor continue to push the envelope (or so music critics would have you believe), nobody has yet to completely stray from the pop template that the Beatles didn't so much invent as perfect.

No more simple pop songs for the Beatles

The Beatles are credited with the first concept album. They paved the way towards progressive rock and incidentally invented heavy metal. And even though earlier representatives may be found in some of these aspects, the Beatles were the first to gain attention in the mainstream with it.

But since things are the way they are, we have to be content with the music that still offered innovative ideas — the music of the Beatles. Therefore, I now put on “Revolver”, lean back and simply enjoy.

The Beatles revolutionized the Pop Music, there's no denying in that, but given their influences, and the fact that some artists may also cash in to their success and legacy by putting their names behind The Beatles, we could safely say, again, that The Beatles were at some point, an instrumental to the decline of modern music (specifically pop).

Source:

The Beatles also went along with this concept at the beginning. But in John, Paul, George and well, Ringo there burned a fire. The four wanted more. On “Rubber Soul” at the latest, this desire for something new broke through.

It also means that the discourse around pop music hasn’t really changed for almost half a century. For instance, is it really fair to say that Harry Styles ripped off the Beatles’ “Blackbird” when the song itself was inspired by Bach? Pop music, in a sense, has just become a rehashing of itself, and that is a big reason why I don’t like the Beatles. The buck always stops with them. Their cultural influence on the discourse of music stops any serious conversation from happening. And declaring that “I don’t like the Beatles” is tantamount to committing musical treason.

That's right, they perfected it. So why is it that we can't recognize that fact and just move on from it? We should have created something in the last 50 years that would make the Beatles sound as quaint and "old timey" as a Victrola, but we haven't and THAT is a major problem.

No rock band should ever celebrate their 50th anniversary by actually PERFORMING. Trust me now, believe me later, but nobody really wants to see or hear a 70-year-old Keith Richards play "Satisfaction". Oh sure, we go to the shows out of some dumb sense of wanting to be near something that has such a bad-ass rock & roll swagger to it. We get to wear the t-shirt, brag on Facebook that we "saw the Stones this weekend", but all we're really doing is participating in this dull charade meant to distract us from, you now, creating our own magic.

So, to exaggerate, you could say: the Beatles are to blame for the boring pop music we get nowadays. If they hadn’t already claimed all the innovations for themselves, we might still be experiencing exciting new developments today. Oh, how I hate the Beatles!

And another valid point:

Let me be a little more specific: at the time, pop music was still in its infancy. It was only about ten years since the invention of rock ’n’ roll had turned the music world upside down. Today, it’s hard to imagine the uproar that the then new musical genre had generated.
