What a stupid thread. The Beatles were self generating, they won their record deals on merit, they were not manufactured by some Simon Bowel/Sock-Acheing and Watershed type. Just look at the amount of bands/artists that they have inspired. If they had not been taken on by a record company they would have created their own, and did once they realized the industry was full of knobheads.
Did some good'uns though, many songs have survived close to 50 years Love this tune btw [video=youtube;wBiLrZT3eno]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBiLrZT3eno[/video]
Steely Dan in general are an awesome band. A band showing that image doesn't always make you successful.
Even the stuff produced by Phil Spector? [video=youtube;SgnaAiAi1Pk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgnaAiAi1Pk[/video]
