	Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't.  "Across The Universe" and "The Long and Winding Road" combined aren't worth 10% of IWTHYH.  "She's Leaving Home" is worth even less.</div></blockquote>

	"I Want to Hold Your Hand" is a great <em>pop</em> song.  One of the best.  The three songs you mentioned are not, but they certainly illustrate John and Paul's progression as song-writers.  I really like all four...<br />
	<br />
	The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson) followed a very similar progression.  I don't think it's fair to judge their influence based solely on music from the first handful of albums.  <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The Radiohead comparsion is apt.  I really don't care for much of their output beyond "OK Computer" but I also don't think you could form an accurate opinion of them based solely off of Pablo Honey (or "The Bends" which I still probably like the best).</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	Oh, I was thinking that by "progression" you meant "getting better."<br />
	<br />
	You seriously like "She's Leaving Home"?  That song makes me cringe and always has.
