Bowie intentionally set out to shock visually, his image was part of his whole act. The Beatles didn't really shock, they took their image from the time they were in. Their originality was more in the music as that is what they concentrated on.

Very true. If anything, the initial clean-cut image of the Beatles was intended to do the exact opposite of that of the image that David Bowie portrayed. Beatles were designed for mass appeal, Bowie was designed for counter culture.
