“The Beatles are overrated” is the most popular musically illiterate opinion on the internet. Not only do they have such a wide variety of great songs, the collection of albums from Rubber Soul on easily push them into legendary status just purely on innovation and originality. You don’t even have to like The Beatles (bit weird you couldn’t find one song across multiple genres and 10 albums you liked but people enjoy Drake somehow so we’re all different) to appreciate the contributions they made to rock, pop, recording techniques, the concept album etc. Anybody who thinks The Beatles are ‘overrated’ doesn’t understand a) music or b) the impact they had on popular culture, which was transformative. The problem with looking back is that it’s not easy to grasp the ‘shock of the new’, which accompanied much of their work.
