The Animals one hit wondered with
their
House of the Rising Sun.
Hehe, that one was a Dylan song
Like many classic folk ballads, the authorship of "The House of the Rising Sun" is uncertain. Folklorist Alan Lomax, author of the seminal 1941 songbook Our Singing Country, wrote that the melody was taken from a traditional English ballad and the lyrics written by a pair of Kentuckians named Georgia Turner and Bert Martin. Other scholars have proposed different explanations, although Lomax's is generally considered most plausible.
Dylan recorded his version before the Animals... neither wrote it, but the Animals certainly made it "theirs".

I know that it wasn't written by them, that's why I said
their
House of the Rising Sun, as opposed to with House of the Rising Sun... I meant their version.
Honest!

A lot of the old bands big songs were covers, Elvis played gospel song. Nazareth covered Love Hurts etc
Beatles were very original and experimented a lot as time wen't by.
Some more about the song:
It was recorded by Texas Alexander in the 1920s, then by a number of other artists including Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Josh White and later Nina Simeone. It was her version The Animals first heard. No one can claim rights to the song, meaning it can be recorded and sold royalty-free.
From
Song Facts
You are right that a lot early rockers covered a lot of material ... especially old blues stuff.

It makes sense cause Dylan's early stuff was right in that vein
Yeah, The Animals version rocks. Also one song I seen done better than the original is Helter Skelter with Motley Crue

like i said, shame he died but i cant understand the big thing, i think its more him dieing thats kept him famous than his work. Just like kurt cobain.
You're in a very small minority. Most people that don't care for his works, recognize his genius.
i dont see what he did. i dont see it.
led zeppelin took rock music to a whole different level
hendrix wrote some for its time amazing guitar work and used all those wah pedals n stuff
t-rex invented glam rock and the image factor with some fun? tunes
bowie well, he did a fuck load.
alice cooper invented this shock rock thing
sex pistols brought on strong change and agression helping make way for metal.
and so on. i just dont get what lennon did, that was so amazing.
I kinda get where your coming from, I'm not a huge Beatles fan (love John solo tho) but I think you're missing how revolutionary the man was. Before the Beatles it was rare for alot of artists to even write their own songs, that alone to me tells how important they were in changing that trend. And even though the beatles started out as what comparitively would be almost a boy band by todays standards, they were one of the firsts artists to take huge chances not only with their lyrics, but with their sound. I also try to recognise that while their music may not feel directly influential on myself or maybe some of the bands I listen to the beatles still have a influence somewhere. The artists you listed, Bowie, Hendrix, Alice Cooper, T-rex...I'm sure you can quote almost any of them as having said the beatles were a great influence on them. And by that any band influenced by Bowie, Hendrix, alice, etc. is somehow influenced bv the beatles as well.
