That would be the exact sentiment I would expect from some rock fan.

But for everyone else, prior to 1964 there was a HELL of a lot of stuff happening. It's just the young people of that time period that hated their "parent's music". Besides the awesome early soul of Booker T, there was Sam and Dave and a whole bunch of other stuff...not to mention all the great jazz of that era. You rocker/hippies make it almost sound as if the music world was dead and buried until the coming of the Beatles!

As for me, I would rather listen to Booker T and the MGs ANY day of the week besides the Beatles. Do some research on Stax-volt before you brush that classic R and B away so easily! Donald Duck Dunn? That man is like a God to me.
