Not my favourite band,
but fantastic natural talent, the equal of which has not been matched to this day.
 


Wouldn;t even make it through to the finals if they were on X-Factor nowadays
The crucial word! People are always comparing their stuff to what they have heard since, but they broke so much new ground at the time. Guitar band with three voices, rather than singer + musicians. Wrote their own stuff. Fantastic songwriters. Pathfinders for the psychedelic wave. Said what they liked in interviews. Showed active disrespect to their 'elders and betters'. Politically aware {Lennon and Harrison anyway.) Showed that four working-class lads from 'the North' could take the world of popular culture by storm. If their early stuff sounded 'like @tunstall birdman poems' you should have heard what they were competing with at the time! They were at the cutting edge of a movement that gave young working-class kids a voice.
They changed the world, and largely for the better.
