It wasn't till Rubber Soul, and after Bob Dylan asked Lennon in similar words as these, "Those pop songs are cute, but what do you have to say?", that The Beatles turned into thoughtful and FREE to write what they wanted songwriters.

There's more of course, but I think those 3 major "industry based" points say a lot as to an opposing viewpoint to at least consider. But if a 4th is needed: #4: "I Want To Be Your Man".

THOSE,,,,from "aspiring" songwriters that had George Martin DEMAND that they come up with better songs,,,,to GET TO THOSE ABOVE SONGS!!!!! LOL!
BETTER Songs for the POP MARKET AT THAT TIME!

I rest my case.

Thanks
