Any of Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen's good albums.

You didn't even post the best Beatles album anyway; MMT, Abbey Road, and Revolver are all way better.

Dylan's electric trilogy, Pet Sounds, Revolver, Freak Out! and anything The Byrds put out in 66-67. Which isn't to say Sgt Peppers is a bad album, just that there are quite a few albums from the same time period that planted more seeds.

The SMiLE recordings are multigenre, and would have incorporated cowboy songs, country, comic songs, doo-wop, barbershop, chanting, noise, cartoons, and field recordings with a unified homage to Americana.[43][44][45][46][47] According to English musician and ethnomusicologist David Toop, Smile contains traces of Sacred Harp, Shaker hymns, Mele, and Native American singing.

Revolver still already had that with Tomorrow Never Knows

For the record, Sgt Peppers is Ringo's least favorite Beatles album and both Lennon and Harrison commented that it was nowhere near as influential as the press made it out to be. Even among The Beatles, only McCartney holds Sgt Pepper in especially high esteem.
>>
>>64084432
Kill yourself, Highway 61 Revisited is more important and an all-around much better album than Sgt. Pepper's. You should feel ashamed for calling it a one-dimensional album when it clearly has more depth musically than Sgt. Pepper's does.

Nah. Not the anon you're arguing with (in fact I've made many posts arguing against him itt) but Dylan isn't especially skilled as a musician. In terms of what it did for the music scene itself and the quality of lyrical writing in music, H61R was incredibly important. In terms of actual music, not so much.

It really depends. It's a lot easier to copy, say, The Ramones than The Beatles, so I would say they were much more influential in terms of quantity of artists who specifically employed the musical elements they popularized.

I have no idea what you mean by "scale", but if you mean the musical ambition of the album, holy shit kid have you heard of the 1970s?

You can't separate the content, influence, and impact of Dylan's recordings from "actual music", unless you're one of these people that thinks more harmonically or rhythmically simplistic genres like punk rock, hip hop, drone, etc aren't valid.

All of which owe a ton to Dylan's recklessness in the studio, his disregard for musicianship, and the immediacy and sense of danger it lent his recordings, and the way it entwined the focus with the narrative art and performance art aspects.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to argue that The Beatles were so fucking influential because they played compositionally sophisticated music when SO MUCH of the legacy of rock and other modern genres has to do with avoiding compositional sophistication and achieving something worthwhile through other means.
>>
>>64084838

I asked you to define it and you haven't. I guarantee you influential musicians have heard of both Yma Sumac and The Beatles. She is a household name, she gets referenced in Family Guy and The Sopranos and stuff.

The Beatles are one of the groups Dylan influenced...literally every member has admitted this. Lennon and Harrison both referenced in song.

And if you don't see how punk to modern country to hip hop to psychedelia isn't a wide breath of influence, I don't know what to tell ya.

>Or rather, I'll give you a chance to admit that basic blues chord structures, antiquated musicians performing obvious arrangements live with no creative atmospherics was somehow more interesting then pocket orchestras, harmonic acrobatics and unpredictable arrangements.
Well, I don't have to convince you that it's more "interesting", although as someone who prefers minimal music I do personally believe that this is the case.

But this isn't a discussion about what you or I find "interesting", it's about which was more influential. And if you don't fucking admit that WAY MORE artists in MORE genres play 3-4 chord, simplistic songs with simplistic arrangements than the ones who followed in The Beatles footsteps, you're crazy!

By the way, Lou Reed and Velvet Underground? Super influenced by Dylan. So all the people influenced by Velvet Underground and the fast and multifarious subgenres that they spawned (basically every form of underground music) all were influenced by Dylan through VU.

They were obviously both influenced by Dylan as well, you just can't comprehend the value of Dylan's musical elements.

The Beatles made tons of shitty cover albums of generic pop rock until Help! and Rubber Soul.

The Beatles also were even further from technical proficiency as a band than Bob Dylan, not sure why you pretended that this point didn't apply to the Beatles as well.

Bob Dylan is also more influential than the Beatles, not saying that Sgt. Pepper's wasn't a landmark album for pop music but Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde are probably the two most important rock albums of the 60s.

Which was on the pop airwaves for everybody to hear, right? Fun fact: Subterranean Homesick Blues was a track Frank Zappa often cited as what made him realize rock could be serious music.

And we all know his thoughts on The Beatles.

You have to appreciate how timely Pepper was - released in '67, the "Summer of Love", when the popularity of psychedelia was beginning. Not to mention the production techniques, many of which were revolutionary.

Sgt. Pepper's is indescribably, incomparably, revolutionarily important. If you treat music as a component of industrial/leisure Western society, you can really enrich your relationship with it by researching the world it came from and commented on. With Pepper you're talking about the most famous people on the planet reaching a breaking point, having been stalled an pacified and "tolerated" by their record company on the previous two records. It's the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning of pop music.

>You are wrong that The Beatles created sampling
I did not say that.

The Beatles created sample-based pop music which directly led to what we now know as EDM and hip-hop.

Very few of these artists use live instrumentation, which is what Dylan did almost exclusively his entire career. Just as well, modern pop music is more indebted to The Beatles than Dylan harmonically.
>Which was on the pop airwaves for everybody to hear, right? Fun fact: Subterranean Homesick Blues was a track Frank Zappa often cited as what made him realize rock could be serious music.
Incorrect. It was "Like a Rolling Stone". Please get your facts straight.
>And we all know his thoughts on The Beatles.
Like the time he covered them? Or jammed with John and Yoko? Yeah he must have really hated them! Not to mention he like The Monkees and The Turtles... what do you make of that?

Are you going to show me where I said that, or continue the strawman?

You are now adjusting what you said with the "pop" modifier. You said they invented sample-based music.

>Very few of these artists use live instrumentation, which is what Dylan did almost exclusively his entire career
It's a superficial difference. I can cover both The Beatles and Dylan without using live instruments.

The whole idea of the instrumentation looping over and over again in the background while someone half sings, half talks over it, is definitely something that hip hop got MORE from Dylan than from The Beatles.
>>
>>64086508
Okay, so you DON'T think The Beatles were more influential than Dylan. Got it. I didn't mean to accuse you of holding a position that you apparently don't, but everybody else can see why I thought so.
>>
>>64086556
>It's a superficial difference
Oh have you never listened to any hip-hop in your life?
>I can cover both The Beatles and Dylan without using live instruments.
Not relevant. We are discussing aesthetics.
>he whole idea of the instrumentation looping over and over again in the background while someone half sings, half talks over it, is definitely something that hip hop got MORE from Dylan than from The Beatles.
>>64086578
I already clearly stated my position. Read the thread again if you are confused.
She me when Dylan did that.
>>
>>64086556
>The whole idea of the instrumentation looping over and over again in the background while someone half sings, half talks over it, is definitely something that hip hop got MORE from Dylan than from The Beatles.
Show me where Dylan did this EVER
>>
>>64086628
>We are discussing aesthetics
No, we're not. We're discussing influence in general.

>I already clearly stated my position
Yes, which was that The Beatles were more influential because of their "harmonic acrobatics and unpredictable arrangements".

Since you made me do the fucking work, please choke on your vomit:
>>64084356
In this post, anon argues that Highway 61 was as influential as The Beatles.

You respond to it here >>64084432
>For a very short period of time, sure. But unfortunately it's one-dimensionalness was exposed after Pepper was released and it became antiquated electric bar rock.
>one-dimenasionalness
I suspect here you are talking about one dimensionalness in terms of its musical aspects, such as harmonic sophistication and arrangements and shit like that. But you haven't explicitly said it yet, I give you that.
So I respond and say:
>>64084876
>Yikes, this is a pretty ignorant statement about Dylan. I'll give you a chance to retract it and admit that it's bait.
And then you respond and say:
>>64084976
>Or rather, I'll give you a chance to admit that basic blues chord structures, antiquated musicians performing obvious arrangements live with no creative atmospherics was somehow more interesting then pocket orchestras, harmonic acrobatics and unpredictable arrangements.

I'll be around if you want to apologize.
>>
>>64086656
1. Every Dylan song ever is basically and endlessly repeated chord progression with his signature half-sung vocals over it
2. If you really are unfamiliar with Dylan here's a good example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYajHZ4QUVM

Sigh. I would have least liked an apology.
>>
>>64086790
>We're discussing influence in general.
Then surely sample-based sound design is more important to hip-hop then live-band sound design. Wouldn't you agree?
>which was that The Beatles were more influential because of their "harmonic acrobatics and unpredictable arrangements".
Quote me where I said that.
>I'll be around if you want to apologize.
I'm sorry you are so good at backpedaling
>>64086825
Not hearing ant samples/tape loops.

Try again.
>>64087517
I'm sorry you weren't able to tell me where I saifd that.
>>
>>64087647
>Quote me where I said that.
I just did. You can play dumb all you want.
>>
>>64087647
You didn't ask for tape loops, you asked for
>instrumentation looping over and over again in the background while someone half sings, half talks over it
See >>64086656
Instrumentation != tape loops
>>
>>64087799
In case you forgot, this was the post in question
>>64085958 where you insisted that I claimed that the Beatles being more compositionally complex means they were more influential.

I would like an apology for you misquoting me and attempting a strawman.
>>
>>64087872
>You didn't ask for tape loops,
In the discussion specifically about tape loops?

Please read the thread before posting
>>
>>64087872
Though I will give you this over the anon I'm arguing alongside: This technique has been around at least as long as folk music (actual folk music, not white guys with guitars and feels) has been recorded.

>>64087981
Jimmie Rodgers was considered pop in his day.
>>
>>64087881
It wasn't a strawman, you explicitly argued it and I have quoted you doing so. If you have a different position, by all means reveal it, or just keep trying to go in circles.
>>
>>64088029
How is that relevant to the discussion?
>>64088074
>It wasn't a strawman, you explicitly argued it
Show me where please. You have yet to.
>>
The three of you obviously aren't going to convince each other at this point, why go on?
>>
>>64088122
I like that the other two waiting patiently for an hour for my reply.
>>
>>64088117
Jimmie Rodgers also used the technique. A significant amount of country musicians did, so too did blues musicians.
>>
>>64088166
>Jimmie Rodgers also used the technique
Which technique? Tape loops to construct a hypnotic yet groove-based backing track rather than live instrumentation?
>>
>>64088117
If you have an argument for why I didn't already show you, you can give it.
>>
>>64084636
Not even true
