The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Biography

Piero Scaruffi (born 26 April 1955) is an Italian cognitive scientist but also a self-described author, poet, cultural historian, music historian, film historian, political commentator, visual artist, lecturer, software consultant and entrepreneur. He is recognized among internet music and film buffs for his insanely comprehensive database that features biographies and ratings for 8,000 musicians, some hundred film directors, writers and visual artists. In the blogosphere, he's infamous for, and partially reduced on, his controversial essay about English rock band The Beatles (see opening quote). Because of his frequently contrarian opinions on otherwise acclaimed music, as well as his praise for more independent and experimental music, he has acquired a cult following among internet music fans... for all the wrong reasons. For the same reason, some have cited American rock critic Lester Bangs as an influence on Scaruffi's approach to rock music. These claims, have never been confirmed
