Ono was the best thing to happen to the beatles.

Good band with great influence. Nothing more to say, really.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I enjoy the occasional "Yesterday", "Yellow Submarine" or "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds". Don't deny The Beatle's importance! If you do, you are thirteen years old and ignorant, and I'll have to ask you to step outside.

They were the foundation from which all other music acts are based. The deffinition of "Rock Star" would not mean what it does now without them. Granted, Elvis is considered to be instrumental to the modern rock star, but we live in a democracy, not a monacracy. Think about it. Can you name Elvis' drummer?

I was born in the 60s.

I think you're going a bit far with the stigma attached to white people listening to black music. There were plenty of black people who gained commercial success before that era. Josh White springs to mind escpecially, he was huge during the 30s and 40s. He was even on first name terms with Franklin Roosevelt, the president at the time. There were lots of other White guys who were playing that type of black music before too, like Bill Haley for one.

there were some but the main thing is there was a big stigma attached to it. we don't see it today but it was there, there was also a few that did make it big but a lot that didn't until much later, Robert Johnson was one who made a huge impact after he died
