This thread made me think about the current day influence of the Beatles and their music. It seems to me that for a number of years now (5, 10?) we haven't been seeing other bands/artists covering Beatles songs like they used to. Am I right about that or am I just not hearing them for some reason?
I'm wondering if the demise of traditional radio has resulted in the Beatles no longer being as popular and influential as they used to be. Unless you're actively looking for Beatles music to listen to, most likely on a streaming service or Sirius, where else would you hear them? So we may have a generation now that has had little or no exposure to Beatles music. It makes one wonder how many other bands from the past are experiencing the same thing. As the Boomers like me fade away, will anyone still be listening to the Beatles and all the Classic Rock bands?
