Where do the Beatles fit into this equation as the band (along w/ George
Martin, of course) who invented a number of effects (flange, tape delay,
etc.) that electronic music is based around today - as well as the focus
on studio projects that would be very hard to replicate in a live
setting (paved the way for accepting DJ's, laptops & other pre-recorded
music as a substitution for playing each instrument live on stage.)
It seems the genre lines between all great music is quite blurred.
The Beatles listened to R&B and other groove-based music but followed a
decidedly song-based path to the final album. I'm sure that similar
issues are raised by the Stones or Prince or Postal Service or Telefon
Tel Aviv.

when you try to trace the roots of all of it
it all goes as far as first blues singers of the
1920s, they were the founders of all of it
but later in the 50s music splits into
1.james brown, father of funk and grand father of
all of techno and dubbed including electronica
and hiphop, all of EBM
2.rockenrolen with less groove, elvis kind
interesting thing is that elvis is dead
as the trend he generated exhausted itself fully
but James Brown still alive, kicking and
screaming, getting in and out of jail all the
time, big old motherfucker
and HIS trend is as young as never, producing
music to dance to, from funk, hiphop to cuting
edge electronica
and i forsee it to grow even further
on the other hand rock seems to be dead forever
in terms of music innovation and fresh sound,
with all latest achievements paying tribute and
using dubbing, 4by4 rythmic structures and othe
techno methods
The reasons people started to hate rockenroll are
obviouis.
It became more commersionalised then any other
genre, repeating itself in 10 year cycles
from
rocknroll to hard rock to punk to anything metal
again and again
