the Beatles deserve any and all praise they get. calling them the greatest band ever is not a stretch. it is nearly impossible to OVERRATE the Beatles.
they made rock n roll, a musical idiom mainly for kids, into ART and showed the world and all other musicians what could truly be done with this "rock n roll" format.
take any kid who is interested in writing music and songs, and play them the beatles catalogue over and over again. it is an education in and of itself.
the same cannot be said for anyone else.
