The Beatles started out like many bands at that time. They covered well-known rock 'n' roll songs. Their early own songs are heavily influenced by what was popular then. Around the middle of the 1960s they began to develop their own style(s) and created music that was far from being "very average".
Not all of their stuff is good but they wrote some of the best songs in music history. Some were just crazy. I just listened to the "white" album again and had to giggle when I heard Yoko Ono on
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill.

Not cheesy enough for Meat to perform one of his songs as an encore.
It's a pity that most of the Beatles' oeuvre consists of Lennon / McCartney music. I bet George Harrison would have contributed more than a handful of interesting songs if they had only let him.
