They were great, but innovative? Hell, no. Their first three albums were covering black girl groups and rockabilly. Unoriginal hacks.

Songs like please please me, she loves you and hard's day night were more original than anytjing around. A true combination of the explosiveness of rock n roll with melancholic british folk melodies and out of field structures and effects

By far. Also the covers they done were just " baby steps " , they were simplr just trying out their harmonic ranges through melodic synchronization with the famee that they were getting. Its known that they were very much into trying new things and evolving themselves. That's where we get into innovation. They literally had innovation. Especially after Beatles For Sale . The last albm with covered pieces . They were originators after that .

They were still copying Chuck Berry on the White Album. They had to be sued over Come Together because it was a slowed down version of You Can't Catch Me.

Those songs weren't so original. You just don't know about the originals because they're mostly forgotten. In most cases, the originals were superior musicians who didn't have the advantage of superior recording equipment or producer George Martin. They copied the Shirelles and the Crystals most directly.
