Something different! WI The Beatles and Stones never invaded America.

Without John and Paul effectively killing the practice of using outside song writers, the music scene would be much improved.

So basically, what you're saying is that having pre-manufactured, record label made bands or pop acts would significantly make for a better musical atmosphere? Not only am I glad that the Beatles didn't rely on outside songwriters, I'm glad that ideal spread throughout the music industry (for a while anyways). If it wasn't for that, the late 60's and 70's would be a very musically boring time.

As for no possible British invasion, unless importing old American C&W or R&B records to the UK was suddenly made illegal, I'm sure some other band like The Who or Cream would've picked up the slack if there was no Beatles/Rolling Stones based British Invasion. There were just too many factors in favor of such.
