The Beatles Musical Extravaganza

If you've seen the film Yesterday where a guy finds himself in a world with no Beatles, that is the thing the film got so very, very wrong.

This is taken from my review (which was removed because the company was annoyed I did not love it):
The film’s great conceit is that the music of this world would be the same today, just lacking The Beatles and Oasis. That is impossible. Would Ed Sheeran be doing what he was doing without The Beatles in the background of musical memory? No way. Would the Tin Pan Alley style music factories still exist, more than they do under Simon Cowell? Probably. Without The Beatles, would Dylan have gone electric? Would experimental music have become mainstream? Would world music through first the sitar have come to be such a part of our music landscape? David Crosby said The Byrds would never have been formed but for The Beatles, so folk-rock and later country-rock might well have never come about. Country would still be Hank Williams Sr. Would The Beach Boys have gone away from surf music to ‘Good Vibrations’ and the Pet Sounds album? Would we have concept albums like Tommy? What would the musical world have been like? Blues-based rock leading into heavy metal? Sure, but would it have been the same? Really? The Beatles were more than just four guys writing and singing great music. They were the catalyst for a musical revolution that spanned genres. I mean, come on – The Beatles did some of the first non-performance music videos. Even after they broke up, they produced and wrote songs that still resonate today. They weren’t “just another band” – they created a soundscape that defined and influenced generations to come, and are still holding sway over the new musicians of today.
