The Beatles is quality.
Like I said, I totally understand the grammatical reasoning, but I still think it should either be stupidly complex as to whether or not to use plural or singular pronouns in any given context, or it should just be okay to use either.

What's so complex about only using the singular?

No, it's cute that you took what I said as a serious reference to an editor. He actually follows your train of thought. Silly that you couldn't catch that.
