I suppose if you want to Jerry-rig a definition of LP that carefully excludes all LPs made prior to Rubber Soul then truly The Beatles are the Archetypal Progenitors of the LP, the first beloved of GOD and father of all rightly children of GOD such as The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Love and The Las.

First GOD gave us Rubber Soul and he found that it was good and so he then gave us Pet Sounds and lo, it was also good, but it was only ever number two in all Mojo best albums lists for Sgt Pep was to be given unto the earth to crown all Mojo lists except when they are in.a revisionist mood and declare Revolver to be the superior LP

Tis heresy to depart from the teachings of Mojo and the BBC documentary series 'Dancing in the street'

For truly The Beatles were the first to put a backwards sitar on a record and thus the course of Western Civ was altered forever

Never had the world seen such haircuts. Upon seeing the divine moptops the staid repressed monochrome world of the '50s was swept aside and replaced with a technicolour dream world and lo, marijuana was invented

And then LSD was invented and George Harrison invented Hinduism and converted all India

I think the idea that every youngster who heard the Beatles at the time was astounded by them is nonsense. From personal, anecdotal evidence, both my parents say they saw them live, seperately, and thought they were shit, precisely because they were listening to Motown and ska and things like that. It paled. They didn't actually dislike them, so it's not a pose.

Ringo Starr scored his famous hat trick at Wembley and England held the world cup aloft for the first and only time, never able to scale such.heights again for The Beatles midfield quartet was broken up and Paul married a vegetarian

It's impossible not to react to ahistorical hyperbole like THEY INVENTED THE LP

You know what I meant - and also, you're assuming Im saying that this was a good thing.

Still, great to see your fabled objectivity and lack of attachment on display here. Very compelling when combined with the self admitted ignorance.

Four scouse scragg ends whose caustic and irreverent wit caused such shock and indignation in American press conferences for truly the American is a simple man, genuflecting unthinkingly to authority and knowing only one hairstyle, the crewcut

And Alan Ginsburg was later to invent poetry simply by removing the musical backing from Beatles songs and intoning the lyrics in a rabbinical manner to the excited whoops and yelps of jack kerouac and other youth culture luminaries in the city of Sans Francisco

In fact the only thing more tiresome than Beatles worship is Beatles debunking - perhaps even more so.

Well the one thing I think we can both agree on droid is that the '60s were a truly wonderful time to be alive

And to be young in those days, why, it was to be given the keys to the gates of Heaven itself

You can't begrudge him a run like that, the rest of us are on the floor in fits of laughter!
