Were they even a rock band? With the exception of a few songs like I Wanna Be Your Man, Helter Skelter and a few others they have very few actual guitar-driven rock songs with a heavy beat (I'm not counting songs like Roll Over Beethoven or Money (That's What I Want) as those were covers). I always felt they were more of a white and male version of those Motown girl groups like The Supremes than a proper rock band like The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks etc.
THE FACT THAT THE BEATLES
>>131497755They literally invented rock, you dumbass
>>131497755Right, they were a boyband pop group.
>>131497755My BF and I have literally spent hundreds if not thousands of hours sodomizing each other, gaping each other’s assholes, licking each other’s assholes and eating each other’s cum while listening to Beatles music. And you have the audacity to suggest they weren’t a band? As if all those pozzed loads were in vain? Fuck you
>>131497952What about, Little Richard, Bill Haley and the Comets, Buddy Holly...etc? they predate the Beatles by quite a bit
>>131498019That was rock n’ roll. Rock is a distinct genre.

>>131498487Kinks had more proper rock songs though. It's only that rock proper isn't radio-friendly so the stuff they're most remembered for are softer songs like Sunny Afternoon or Waterloo Sunset
