For the record, I appreciate the Beatles and even listen to their music from time to time BUT I wouldn't say they are my favourite or even the best of all time.
The problem with the Beatles, for me, has to do with over exposure and my own knee-jerk reaction to counter that with sneers and contempt. The thing is, once you actually read the history of the band and listen with a critical ear... things change. Lennon and McCartney wrote some amazing pop songs. They also changed music. Sure someone else might have done it later but they did it first and they made it popular.
You don't have to like it but you do have to appreciate what they did.
