Yes, I still enjoy listening to the Beatles. All of their albums really hold the test of time, particularly Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, and Abbey Road.
I think they will be a significant influence in the future, musically. A lot of people don't realize that the Beatles were the first (or one of the first) bands in a lot of different areas. Here's a short list of some of the things they popularized or started in the music industry, many of which are still used today:
- Bands writing their own music.
- Large orchestras on pop recordings.
- Placing microphones very close to the instruments.
- "Double-tracking" the lead vocals.
