The Beatles certainly didn't stay "clean cut". And their "pop friendliness" seems perhaps accurate in retrospect, but at the time, they WERE the leading edge. And many people just didn't get it.


Good points. Plus, No one else has ever had such an evolution of their sound over a relatively short career as a band. From 1963-1970 they evolved from an early rock'n'roll/pop sound to more introspective pop rock to psychedelic rock to more eclectic stuff. And along the way with George Martin their music set the bar for studio production.

It's truly unbelievable how close it was together. When people heard "I Want to Hold Your Hand", they could have had no idea that "If I Fell" was only 6 months away. Yesterday and Ticket to Ride were within a year of that. And Tomorrow Never Knows was in a year of that...and then Sgt. Pepper's came out!

A lifetime of innovation in like 40 months.
