Good points.

Though, for the type of music the Beatles wrote, they more than stand the test of time. It would be hard to deny the genius of their melodies and song arrangements and above all, their remarkable consistency. It would also be hard to argue that for what they did, they've been surpassed.

Well, exactly. I can't think of any person or band who has/have crafted as many outstanding melodies as the Beatles did over those eight years.

I vote Linkin Park, never could get into them

2nd that on it's hard for the Beatles to be overrated (in their prime of course), any band that is that big has the chance of some overhype, but a true classic is a true classic

Does that make them overrated?

I think Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Disturbed are overrated
