I believe if they came out now, the same accolades would not apply.

Like Oasis?

The 'Wings' thing was a joke, lifted from Alan Partridge. Personally, I don't really mind if I never hear the Beatles again. I appreciate everything they did, but enough is enough. There are far more interesting bands to listen to these days. Move on....
 

the beatles are on of the most overrated bands of all time imo. 

Were you around when they came out?  TOTALLY different era.  I believe if they came out now, the same accolades would not apply.

 
no i wasnt, i just dont see how they have stood the test of time when they really werent that great but that of course is just my opinion. 

I hope I'm around in 40 years when some (born 5 years from now) dude says <insert ljb500's biggest 21st century musical influence/life changer here> really wasn't that great.
 
Oh the humanity of it all.
 
Then I will Strummage up this post.

Haha, they will be more than welcome to their opinion and you can feel free to bring this post back up at such a time.

It's probably one of The Stones.

Rickenbacker and Vox are probably very happy that The Beatles came along when they did.

BLASPHEMER! Burn the heretic!

To me, the Beatles are in their own category.  It's amazing not only how many good songs they wrote, but how many GREAT songs they wrote.  Another thing that impressed me was how little they repeated themselves.  Nothing on Rubber Soul sounds like anything on Revolver, which doesn't sound like anything on Pepper etc.  It was six years of sustained genius.
