Absolutely wrong. Yes they were popular from start to finish, but they started as nobodies and they worked their way to the top, because they were good. Just because something is popular doesnt make it pop. Albums like
revolver and
sgt pepper were pretty innovative. To quote music critic George Graham, art rock "was inspired by the classically-influenced arrangements and the elaborate production of The Beatles Sgt. Peppers."
Allmusic cites
Sgt. Peppers as "one of the earliest rumblings of progressive and art rock." The Beatles were also one of the first bands to bring harpsichords, wind and string sections to rock.

Youre telling me theres no reason I shouldnt like it? I dont like it, thats enough reason. Not everyone likes the same things.
