Wasn’t their run about 4 years? Not impressed. There are bands and players from that era that still sell out stadiums. Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Rush, and many other bands and players in those bands still sell out stadiums. Beatles? Not so much.

The Beatles suck. Always have. I really wish they would just disappear and take their sucky music with them.

re: “Wasn’t their run about 4 years? . . . not impressed”

Actually, they were number 1 in England prior to coming to the U.S. Their run with worldwide fame was basically about 1962 - 1970 (when they broke up). Which, I agree, isn’t very long compared to some other bands, but, quite incredible if you consider the tremendous influence they had (and still have) on pop/rock music. The Stones hasn’t changed their sound much since the sixties. I like some of their music, but they did not make the impact upon pop music like the Beatles did.

Other performers made huge impacts on rock/pop later on, like Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Led Zeppelin (just, “Stairway to Heaven” alone was a mega hit), but no one has come close to the musical impact that the Beatles made on the world (good or bad).
