Beatles - first ever synthpop band?

[oldschooler81]

They were the first truly "modern" band in many respects, but in a way I think they influenced 80s music (both generationally, and just the catchy way the songs were produced), and of course that influenced second wave. They could even pass for a brand new retro indie band too.

These all seem a bit new wavey to me (and my personal favs):

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Here Comes the Sun
Obladi Oblada
Across the Universe
Penny Lane
With a Little Help from My Friends
Got To Get You into My Life
Back in the USSR
Piggies (just the cheesiness of it, lol)
Magical Mystery Tour
Something
