The quote I posted (The Beatles - Years active 1960–1970 "Genres: Rock, pop") is from wikipedia. Personally I always considered the Beatles to be a Pop Band, especially their early stuff. To get a better understanding of what you are saying, last night I went back to wiki and did some reading on the subject and now understand your point.
"Author Dominic Pedler describes the way they crossed genres: "One of [their] greatest ... achievements was the songwriting juggling act they managed for most of their career. Far from moving sequentially from one genre to another (as is sometimes conveniently suggested) the group maintained in parallel their mastery of the traditional, catchy chart hit while simultaneously forging rock and dabbling with a wide range of peripheral influences from Country to vaudeville."
