I assume you mean Norman Smith (Hurricane Smith) or known to John Lennon as Normal Norman.Well yes I think we do but if only for the fact that he was a recording artist in his own right.I've still got his hits on tape etc. He also helped to launch many other 60s group's including Pink Floyd.A true professional who gave a great deal of pleasure to many.:jimbo:

Have they ever been relevant, if so what to? The most over-rated bunch of scousers ever; along with John Coleman, Jimmy Bell and The Accy Stanley scouse mafia.

For better or worse is debatable, but The Beatles changed the world.
Their influence will carry on for many decades to come.

Well....no, because they were not such a phenomenum. The Beatles were just a part of the "revolution" that was the 60s. Like it or not things changed irrevocably, whether for better for worse is open to discussion, and the Beatles, their music, the fashions and the morality of the time were all part and parcel of the "scene". They became iconic, due to some talent and a good deal of clever marketing, and it follows that things and people connected with them are going to attract attention.

Don't think they ever used any -but if they did and they had hit records you may well do.Tchaikovsky had a hit in the 60's

The Rolling Stones emerged at the same time but did not get 'parental approval' then (due to drug use)

I preferred them (the Stones) then and now....and at least they are still playing

Lol, I don't think The Beatles can be criticised for not playing anymore, seeing as two of them would be doing it posthumously :rolleyes::D

They had a big 'falling out do' before any died - about royalties :rolleyes:
If they were all still alive I doubt that they would be touring as the Stones do
