I'm afraid you're allowing your enthusiasm for McCartney to cloud your judgment. Lennon and McCartney were a very talented songwriting team-the best in their genre, exerting great influence on the pop music industry, but they're not in the same league as Mozart, not even close. Mozart was a genius whose influence on music will be felt forever. A hundred years from now the Beatles will be no more than an interesting footnote.

Go to your local college, university, conservatory, etc., and ask a musicologist, and he will tell you the same.

Hogwash. 100 years from now Beatles Muzak will still be played inside elevators.
