I've heard hundred of different "reasons" for why they are the greatest band of all time. Some of their stuff is alright, but to me it just seems like cookie cutter feel good pop music. When they got more into the hippie movement, they just became even more unbearable.

I disagree. I think they became more experimental during their later years. Some people say they did that just so they can fit in with the other bands, but I have a hard time believing that. And John Lennon was one of the faces of that "hippie movement" that you spoke of, and many people find his messages inspirational. Again, I don't even like the Beatles that much, but I just don't think it's fair to make these types of criticisms.
