I said in an earlier post I did this thread to show how silly it was people saying, as if it's unquestionable, that Michael Jackson is the 'king of pop'. There are obviously others who it could be argued are at least as good and arguably better.
I don't think it matters if people think The Beatles are the 'greatest' or not, but I think they are virtually undeniably very good and among the best. Making comparisons to some others can be interesting though, as it helps focus on the music apart from other aspects which dominate pop music in modern times.
And I don't think there has been a Bach, Beethoven or Mozart of modern times, the musical environment as it is probably wouldn't produce one.
