While the Beatles did not.
They brought "Art" into 'Rock & Roll' and created the genre we now call 'Rock'.
Without them, no Pink Floyd, no Steely Dan, no Moody Blues and so on.
They are like Frank Lloyd Wright. I'm sure there are plenty of architects whose buildings were better built...better suited...etc.
But who will be remembered?
I'd call the genre Pop, myself.
Pink Floyd was a separate branch, IMO - they were contemporaries with the late Beatles and defined their own path.
