Not every rap artist was influenced by the beatles. Rap influenced itself on a general basis, of course there are roots to it and the beatles might be one of them, but I doubt you'll hear Kanye West say that the beatles got him into rapping.

Maybe a deconstructionist approach is needed here. Those groups were not not influenced by the Beatles...

Somewhat off topic, but Scaruffi asked Alan Sparhawk of Low what his favorite bands were, and Scaruffi started rattling off all these other similar slowcore acts. Alan Sparhawk stopped him and told him his favorites were pretty much Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Swans, and The Beatles. I can only imagine the twitch in Scaruffi's upper lip when Sparhawk mentioned the Beatles.

Another slightly unrelated note: the favorite album of David Pajo of Slint, Tortoise, and various solo projects is Suicide's self-titled. Not lame at all; in fact, I think they are equally influential and awesome.

Normally, I'd say "Weezer being influence by KISS", but then I realize that Dressed to Kill is freaking awesome.

Your initial statement implied that you were awaiting a backlash. If you weren't prepared for someone to call you out on purposefully attempting to start an argument then why say it? You've just admitted that you don't even particularly agree with your initial statement, so you were just trolling. Well done. I'm just tiring of you very quickly. If it isn't trolling then it's getting overly butthurt because someone dislikes one of your favourite bands, and if it isn't that then it's misunderstanding a basic, concrete tenet of popular music and then bringing it up time and time again (as in the "Shit nobody says" thread) despite saying you are bored of the argument. Basically, you thrive on arguing with people. You're addicted to it. Either that or you're just an idiot. Actually, either way you're an idiot. Congratulations.

Interesting perspective. I'm an idiot and if I'm not then I'm still an idiot.

Then what are you waiting for? Just stop quoting my "inane statements" and start releasing your anger a different place. I'll stop commenting back on your inane statements too. My Dylan statement wasn't meant to be taken so literally, I do like him, just not as much as others.

Manic Street Preachers were influenced by Babycham. I had heard that drink is considered lame once. 😕
