Well, I'll spare you my thoughts on Rush, but suffice to say there are dozens of albums that should be on the list ahead of anything from the Beatles. Just think of all the offerings from the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, The Doors, Eric Clapton (including the Dominos and his other bands), Pink Floyd, early Springsteen, etc. etc. etc.
All of this stuff is far better than anything put out by some overblown, self-indulgent, hyper-commercialized skat band from Liverpool.

Oh OK, now I see, you've just got some anti-Beatles thing. By the way I agree on the greatness of the Stones, Zep, Who, etc.
