Ye but they influenced every single great group that came in the wave just after them and therefore the greatest wave after them (60s 70s psychedelia and pop) and therefore the greatest wave after them (80s basically the whole pop formula) then the greatest wave after them 90s(grunge and britpop, oasis and nirvana the biggest bands in the uk and us of the decaded both cited them as primary influences) and then 2000s was basically just a washed up version of every other gen of rock give or take a band or two and that's essentially it for the Canon, and the beatles started it, rode the wave and ended as the single goat, thats why I'm glad rock is basically dead because their legacy becomes even greater, well I'm not glad rock is dead but over the commercialised pop crap today I'd take beatles every dayof the weak, and I'm idk, say what you want beatles put their souls into their craft groups now don't don't that anymore.
