If the Beatles hadn't written and recorded A Day in the Life, I Am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever, Blue Jay Way, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and other proto-progressive songs - if they'd never cobbled together Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, applied Western tuning to a sitar on Norwegian Wood, flipped George's guitar on I'm Only Sleeping, or pieced together the Side Two medley on Abbey Road - then the trails of Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Kansas, ELP and so many others might never have been blazed - or, at least, would have taken far longer to discover. Progressive rock owes everything to the Beatles - everything that defines it began with the Fab Four. There is no Fragile, no Thick as a Brick, no Dark Side of the Moon in the Beatles canon, no Tarkus, no Heart of the Sunrise, no Firth of Fifth - but without the works described in this book, we'd never have had all those wonderful albums and songs...
