That cannot be simply put down to being overrated. They had something that no one else had at the time and they were in the right place at the right time with the right sound and the right songs. More power to them for hitting that.

That's a very fair post, and a very honest opinion.
I was born 24 years after Beatle mania..so I wasn't alive to experience it. But when you hear their songs compared to what came after it their music seems very ordinary. They were part of the music revoultion of the 60s, but so was Elvis and The Beach Boys.
