You can see the influence Dylan had on The Beatles, I am the Walrus being a prime example, the Revolver album and to a lesser extent Sgt Pepper being a turning point in their evolution, only to be short lived as the internal squabbles between the women sent Lennon and McCartney on separate paths. Lennon stayed true to the cause, while McCartney aside from a few genius moments with Wings, became a pop star. To me that shows that Lennon was the inspiration behind the Beatles later direction.For a bit of fun I listened to USA for Africa, We are the world. The stand out singers were, of course Dylan, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson and surprisingly Springsteen, who I normally dislike as he just shouts the same lyrics over and over usually.

Imagine how much better the Pepper album would’ve been if it had included ‘Strawberry Fields’ and ‘Penny Lane’ instead of the hideous Harrison offering-‘within you…’ or Johns-‘Good Morning’ he admitted himself it was a turkey.
White Album and side 2 of Abbey road all the way for me.
