Not at all.
The Beatles are the single most popular band in the world, with estimated sales of nearly 2 bilion copies.
Hailed by many as the greatest band of all time and the epitome of 60s counterculture.
They were a driving force of the development of modern music and music business as we know it now.
Lennon is THE musician associated with anything Peace and Love by many.
Also, their popularity stays unmatched even now.
Not knowing who the Beatles are, is rather like being a person who had never heard of Elvis, Marx, Kennedy or Freud.
