Not quite

Shoegazing was a kind of British less grungy grunge

Bands like Chapterhouse , Slowdive , Ride , My Bloody Valentine , Pale Saints , Lush , Drop Nineteens , that sorta thing.

Noone said that. Not once. We said that they did inspire some of the bands today, so you CAN give them credit for that.

Ah someone DID say that, Zealious pretty much did when starting this whole debate:

They did not pioneer anything new, they were simply making music associated at that time, which sounded like most bands in that age. I'd rather listen to dead emo music

I don't think there is a single band that can match the talent, versatility, or originality of the beatles. The beatles can be considered "pop" only because they were popular, which is because they were a great band, but they are not "pop" in the sense that they conformed to the current musical trend in order to sell records. If you look at the beatles albums (all 18 of them) they vary quite diffently, and each is a unique expression of their musical abilities. All the members (- Ringo) could play several instuments and were amazing vocalists. Now this is my opinion, and I agree it is difficult to compare artists of different genres (classic rock, emo) but overall I don't think therer is a band that is as well rounded as the beatles. And yea they were overcommercialized...
