Anyone who thinks the Beatles (including the 5th Beatle genius George Martin) weren't great and deserving of their fame is soft. End of story.
Not every song they ever did was great certainly, but as a whole their original song catalog is pure brilliance.
One Puckish thing I always wanted to do in my bar days though, was walk into a bar with a juke box that had the whole beatles White album on it, was pop a $5.00 bill in and play Revolution #9 ten times, and then walk out before it came on.
To this very day I love to play Revolution #9 in bars to see the reaction that it gets. People usually get annoyed to the point of demanding that the owner skip over the song. It's quite hilarious actually.
