Are the Beatles overrated?

[El Kabong]

I recently got Sirius radio and they have a Beatle channel. It's phenomenal. They play the whole catalog along with bands that influenced the Beatles and bands influenced by the Beatles. It's a great station

The Beatles had an immediate impact on Badfinger which was a band with a ton of promise but Pete Ham and Tom Evans both committed suicide...very sad. Paul and George produced a couple of Badfinger's hits.



Also it must be said that individually The Beatles had very impressive solo careers: Lennon doing the old school Rock & R&B stuff, Paul doing the catchy stuff, George doing the guitar focused twangy country rock/spiritual stuff, and Ringo just futzing around being Ringo with his All-Stars.
