Certainly a never ending debate...

Myself - I'll take The Doors, Eagles, CCR, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Dire Straits, and.... you get the picture.

Puts The Beatles into perspective when you look at it like that.

Janzsoon was asking about their popularity and asking are they really the worldwide phenomenon that they're made out to be.

Well, more people in the world own Come On Over by Shania Twain than their so-called magnum opus Sgt Pepper.

I thought it was worth mentioning.

The point is that you can't base musicianship off of sales, which is what you did. A big check-plus in your corner was that they've outsold everybody.

Well... they haven't.
