They just seem like a pop band. I don't put a lot of credit in that any more than I think Michael Jackson and Brittany Spears are awesome because they sold a lot of records and are on the radio a lot. I also do not for a moment think the Beatles did anything new or out there. They may have done some funky stuff for a pop band, but, just compare what Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart were recording at the same time. That was new and out there. Maybe they were the bridge from Pat Boone and the Stones. Pop sounds on the lighter side and looking like long hair rockers. But, alas, they were just pop stars to me.
