Where would British psychedelia and our own Summer of Love have been without The Beatles, I wonder?

I’m not sure Pink Floyd would even have got as far as the Abbey Road front door.
So that’s the joint most influential British psychedelia album gone.

As I've said before, I can sympathize with this view because I can understand if you're not a rabid fan you can get tired of the conventional wisdom that they are. However if you really look at it objectively, I think it's pretty obvious that, like it or not, they're a benchmark. Rebelling against that I can get. Denying that it's generally accepted as true I think requires deluding yourself at least a little.

If you're white, middle aged, and male, and rock is your primary music, - then it's almost a given.
It's also the cliche to end all fucking cliches.

But it wasn't released before Rubber Soul, Revolver, or the single cuts, Day Tripper, & Rain.

Re: Beatles
Rain definitely counts a psych as do 3 or 4 tracks from Revolver.
I mean this is just silly, The Beatles were the first UK band to release psychedelia. Do they not get any credit for that?

I'm not the one arguing, you twat!
But since you're pulling me back in - someone needs to tell G the Beatles weren't the first UK band to release a psychedelic song.

G, Matt says the Beatles weren't the first UK band to release a psychedelic song.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: Beatles
yeah the Beatles were not important to rock. They never did anything original, didn't reinvent the wheel, didn't change rock music, weren't important to rock music, everyone who came after and before them were better and more influential, didn't influence any rock musicians, didn't have three top flight song writers and basically are unimportant to rock and roll.

Songs on Rubber Soul, were leading the way towards psychedelia. Revolver, is drenched in it. Day Tripper, is code for LSD use, and Rain, well, if you don’t get that, I don’t know what else to say. I assure you, Syd Barrett would not have got to Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, without the revolution in the head that was coming his way from The Beatles.
