Maybe The Beatles might have a more over the top fantasy feel to some of their music, a kind of British ironic detachment. However there are some songs which are more personal, Lennon's song Julia for instance is about his mother. There can be a scope to The Beatles music across themes of politics, cultures and styles that gives the music a broad interest and I think is why they have been acclaimed more. As I have said The Beach Boys have their own distinct qualities which will appeal in a different way.
