See the thing is, even though not everything is traced back to the Beatles, most things in musical history, regardless of genre, in comparrison don't match up to them.
Don't get me wrong, I know how generic the Beatles is as an answer to questions like these, but all bias aside I don't think any band or musician has done what they did. At least not to the same extent.

Not meaning to be an arsehole but I really don't think there is much room for arguement at the end of the day. The Beatles have some flaws, particularly their image, I mean I thought they looked like a bunch of pansy's personally. But image doesn't affect too much in the overall scheme of things.
Lets go for 2nd greatest ever, now theres some competition
