Their debut proved they were the first U.S. band that could match U.K. rockersit even ends with the World War IIera British ballad Well Meet Again. The secret was their top half: McGuinns guitar playing expanded George Harrisons break in A Hard Days Night into an entire genre, and the sun-baked harmonies made the most of their voices eccentricities. Gene Clark was the only Byrd who had bloomed as a songwriter yet, but four Bob Dylan covers gave them folk cachet and gave Dylan rock credibility.
