I understand that you think they are overrated.
My point is: you are incorrect - they are rated highly for good reason.

It hardly matters since musical tastes are subjective.
It also hardly matters that they changed music in some way. They didn't change the type of music I listen to.

Nah, they were too busy singing tuneless songs about how bad life was back in the good old days.

Of course taste is subjective
That was why I said it is perfectly reasonable to not like them. But any rational stylistic analysis of much of their output would show there was good reason for them to be rated highly. And that is without taking into account their subsequent influence.
As for the music you listen to, unless you only listen to music that pre-dates the Beatles, it exists in a post-Beatles world and will more than likely have an influence traceable back to them.

Fair enough, as long as we understand one another.
