I was not around in the 1960s, and I was wondering if anyone who was could answer this:
It seemed to me that the Beatles set off a cultural shift in pop music. They started out in beat music, but in a few short years they brought in psychedelic culture, they adopted Indian classical music and instruments, they used tape-editing techniques in the studio to make rudimentary "electronic music"...
My question is: did they establish these shifts, or were these shifts already gaining steam independently and they popularised them?
