I consider The Beatles a Rock band that made it into the Pop charts and not a Pop band that played Rock music. What I gather they considered themselves the first "Rock band" where the others before them were "Rock and Roll" artist like Elvis and Buddy Holly & the Crickets. There were British bands before The Beatles (e.g. Brian Poole & the Tremeloes or Cliff Richard & The Shadows) but they went by "person and the band name." They claim to be the first band that had only a band name, played their own instruments, and wrote their own songs - well eventually went on to write their own songs.
