I agree to an extent. I feel the same way about my favorite band, Nirvana. The music really is great, but they, like the Beatles, have become "over rated" in that 13 year old kids walk around the mall in "Kurt Cobain" inspired clothing.

Likewise, every struggling garage band states the Beatles as one of their influences, even if they sound NOTHING like them.

So yes, in that way they are overrated. Some one said earlier that Led Zeppelin was Overrated, which I disagree with. Because in my mind, they are underrated when compared to rivals like Black Sabbath.
