I'm going to agree with you, but with an added caveat, they were remarkable in the late 60's early 70's. Just as remarkable as say the Back Street Boys or perhaps New Kids on the Block. The Beatles were basically a Boy Band. This is not a bad thing or is it meant to slag the Beatles.
They are by all definitions amazingly popular, hugely successful, the yard stick that all pop bands have to measure up to, but they are not remarkable
Sorry if I have offended anyone, but if I have to hear yet another rendition of Hey Jude or Penny Lane in the freaking elevator I'll go postal!
Incase you're wondering I like the Beatles, in fact they were the first cassette I ever owned, the White Album, the second was The Rolling Stones another band that should give in to the inevitable and someone tell Keith Richards he died in 74 and lets get on with the funeral
