One thing a lot of people don’t know is how much Ringo changed the sound with his drums. It’s a very obvious thing once you hear it.
Listen to rock before Beatles, then after. Totally different. And a big part of that is the use of the high hat.
But, aside from that, they completely changed music. You can hear it pretty distinctly. I’m not going to prove it to anyone. If you want to hear for yourself, listen to rock music before beatles and after beatles. It’s a very dramatic difference.
