10. "the Beatles definitely had good material" In response to In response to 9
so i can't plant it squarely on them. but the thing is that their material became increaingly designed in and for the studio, to be on records and not to be performed live
to me, that is the test of the durability of a song, btw... can it be performed live, and can it sustain numerous different cover versions. i love cover versions... i've noticed that a lot of people in our generation don't like cover versions... i think it's because we grew up on records and "production" rather than live performance.
