In 1988 or so I got into a legit argument with my Dad about the song Helter Skelter. My position was the Motley Crue cover was clearly superior. He maintained that the Beatle's original was better,

I still think the Crue version is better.

The worst Motley Crue song is far superior to even the greatest Beatles song so you were right op

John Lennon would put a bullet in his brain if he heard five seconds of Girls Girls Girls

Remember when Tommy Lee's drumkit spun 360 degrees?

You think Ringo had anything like that?

The thing is though Helter skelter was like a big deal at the time when it came out. I heard of some interview with one of the Beatles (probably Paul) and they said they wanted to rock harder than... i think it was the rolling stones? Sorry i am not good at remembering quotes but my point is it was harder than other stuff at the time.

It was a big deal. Maybe the first "metal" song, and/or the inspiration for the metal sound.

This song goes hard and heavy as poo poo in 1954 and it sucks balls this dude isn’t really mentioned among guitar pioneers/greats. Shredding, feedback, reverb, and it’s all done with his thumb, I think.

And here’s an alternate version that goes just as hard:

"Space Guitar"

It is awesome.

The Beatles are the perfect encapsulation of popular music, as they emerged at the beginning of pop music, then guided it through its complexity.

I wanna hold your hand to Helter Skelter.

You might say the beatles are the epitome of pop culture.
At least internationally

Well, pop culture has certainly expanded/evolved since The Beatles.
