As to this Beatles/Gaga debate...

Beatles - Hard working, slightly innovative musicians who caught the right sounds at the right time and won success through both great musicianship, good promotion, good showmanship ('62-'65), hard work, and in the end just being themselves even at their most surreal. Included a controversial leader (When John was at his most down to earth, he could be seriously thought provoking), master of Pop songwriting (when Paul was on the mark), a classy guitarist (when George was not getting too much into the mystical stuff), and a Drummer with good humour who knew how to provide the solid backbeat (Well...Ringo was always Ringo!).

Gaga - Attention seeking acts that show her to be like a wanna-Be Madonna with Disposable music. Includes highly promoted gimmicks and slick and empty sounds that wastes some talent. Sadly, an example of Pop today.
