"not that groundbreaking" -- spoken like a kid who can't be bothered to read even the shortest history of recording, but assumes to know all of the details. Smdh

I'm not saying you have to like The Beatles, but you have to respect how they, specifically, changed how music sounds, and with George Martin and the various engineers at the helm, changed how music was recorded. They used the first samples for fuckssake.

But please, tell us how you got to these conclusions with your musicology degree.
