i say thank goodness The Beatles came along and changed music from the old regime drivel of the crooners and bloody Elvis Presley. I still remember hearing Please Please Me on the radio and being wowed by that sound. But in 1964 I heard Bob Dylan's Positively Fourth Street and I never bought or liked another Beatles record again. The American West Coast bands totally won me over. Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane etc and one of my all time favourites New York's Velvet Underground. I still listen to all those bands most days.
