I'm pretty sure his post was tongue-in-cheek.

They definitely were not "the pioneers of a large majority of the genres we listen to today". Jazz? Blues? Hip hop? Country? R&B? Reggae? Ska? Salsa? Classical? Show tunes? Opera? Bluegrass? Rockabilly? Electronica? Folk? Hardcore? Extreme metal? Avant-Garde? Sorry, but I don't see it. They drew influence from a few of those genres but they weren't the pioneers of them.

Maybe pioneering wasn't the right phrasing, but The Beatles were responsible for taking genres to a whole new level.

There's a reason Sgt Pepper is one of the greatest albums of all time. They continued to bring their sound to new lengths, and that album alone was evidence of that.

there are traces of ska in "All I've Got to Do"

and avant-garde in "Revolution 9"

half of Yellow Submarine can be considered "classical"

not pioneered, but they nearly explored every genre

What genres would you say they took to a whole new level?
