Lyric discussion by slushie 

when i was young (this was the 80s...) helter skelter came on the radio in the car. my mother said to me 'this song started all the punk music' and i didn't forget it. i must say, this song really proves the beatles' strength as innovators.

While I don't disagree, surely The Rolling Stones had a bigger say in the punk area at that time..?

I'm taking a college course on the beatles - and this is true. Everything we hear on the radio - modern forms, ect. we can thank The Beatles for.

but beatles helped influence the stones in many ways. john and paul influenced the stones to write their own songs and helped pave the way to america for the stones. so although the stones may have appeared to be more rock n roll the beatles are the stronger innovators.
