The Beatles

Clapton? Hardly in my opinion the greatest rock influence of all time. Has he made a decent record in years? I have to say Dylan has produced a much wider range of music and stretched what popular music was about and what a song could achieve. The Beatles have had an impact on popular music bigger than anybody, ever, irrespective of how good you think their music was (oh and I think it was rather good)partly because of the reasons highlighted on the threads above. Clapton was good but I don't think he is in the league of these two or anywhere near it...nor has he experimented as much as say Zappa or Bowie again irrespective of how good you think some of that music was......

Trivia question-does anybody know who Prudence is?
I do.

Prudence was Prudence Farrow sister of actress Mia Farrow-she was in India along with the Beatles at the same time.
Apparently she was incredibly shy and John Lennon quite taken with her wrote that great song about her.
I was also kind of struck recently while watching Rosemary's Baby on TV starring Mia Farrow Of the horrible sychronicity involved.
Polanski who directed the movie had his pregnant girlfrield murdered by Charles Manson who said his demented actions were partly inspired by the Beatles and the movie was filmed in the Dakota building where Lennon was murdered outside.A bit creepy really considering the movie is about the Devil (not Carl Eber but the real one).
Er sorry about that...........
