Younger generations don't realize just how influential The Beatles were. The guitar didn't exist before The Beatles invented it. Songs didn't have lyrics before Paul McCartney wrote Hey Jude. Music used to be just a bunch of guys standing in a field, clapping rocks together and yelling "Shaw! Shaw!" up at the sun.
