Prompt #1. Read and analyze the below quotation from Chapter 7 of the text.

In terms of the development of psychedelic music, the friendly competition between The Beach Boys and The Beatles had important consequences. The ways these bands applied themselves to developing the stylistic timbral and compositional range of rock music was a model for other groups.

Explain the above quote thoroughly, focusing on the meaning, context, and reasons for the author to have made such a statement. Provide specific and detailed examples of how these two bands influenced each other as well as other bands and artists that followed in terms of “stylistic, timbral, and compositional range.” Has their influence carried through to the music of more recent times? How? Again, you must include specific examples to support your thoughts.
