Okay, I'll grab the troll...
Horrible Singing?? What are you talking about?
Listen to the harmonies on "Because". Beautiful and beats any harmony I ever heard outta Journey or Styx (also bands with killer vocals).
Now listen to McCartney vocally shred on "I'm Down" then turn around and do "Yesterday"- they were recorded in the same session. Listen to "Oh! Darling". That is some seriously great singing.
Mediocre Instrument playing- Hmm, McCartney was one of the most innovative bass players out there and is constantly cited as an influence. Same with Ringo's drumming (yeah, I know!). I have yet to meet anybody that can nail that weird swing/rock beat (Help!) that he does. Lennon and Harrison were great for their time and George was an especially good slide player later on. John, an adequate rhythm guitarist, though his "All My Loving" triplets were really brilliantly played. But John's rhythmic sense could be pretty funky sometimes.
What do you consider good singing?
The Grateful Dead? horrible band.

I do think younger people have no clue how they changed the music landscape because they came along much later, long after the influence of the Beatles informed the music of many of the very bands (StyxStyxStyx) they love.
I do find it surprising that those who love melodic rock, which most of the bands who are subjects of this site play, do not like some of the music the Beatles produced. There are so many similarities.
But tastes in music can be as varied as the names on Yogi's list.
Jeeze. We would only have one kind of music if everyone liked the same thing!

Dude, you're defending The Beatles on a fucking Styx board. You needn't justify a thing about The Beatles.

Well, thing is, I like Styx too for a lot of the same reasons I like the Beatles. Good vocalists, well-written pop tunes for the most part. Hey Matt, I'll defend em anywhere, any time!

I like Styx too, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But come on, the Beatles' place in music history is justtt a tiny bit more revered than Styx's.

Elvis is no more the King of Rock as Micheal Jackson was the King of Pop. That just marketing bullshit. They were talented in their own ways but the whole King of this and King of that is marketing spin. The promoters, managers, record companies and sometimes the artists themselves start making those statements over and over and over that it sticks. It isn't the fans that start that silly "King of" shit.

That's absolutely true. My favorite example is how the Rolling Stones are always called "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World." They put that out in a press release themselves, and it got picked up and repeated so many times that people have forgotten it originated with them. And hey, they had some great stuff . . . an awfully long time ago. Not much in the way of good new music from that band in decades, literally.
If Chuck Berry had been white, people would have recognized that he was actually the main progenitor of rock and roll. Elvis was the default media guy because he was white. You can't listen to one rock band to this very day whose guitarist is not spouting recycled Chuck Berry licks, often without even being aware of it because whomever they nicked it from took it from someone else, who learned it from someone else, who took it from Chuck Berry. Elvis could barely play a few open chords.
That's not to say that Elvis and Michael Jackson weren't great, because they were both very talented, albeit in ways that aren't my personal taste. Elvis when he was young was unbelievable, he was on fire. When he got older he was just a sad shell of himself. Michael had some really, truly off years as well, but my uncle was a stage manager for the 'Victory' tour when I was about 13, and we went to one of the shows and even though it's not my kind of thing at all, it was still phenomenally good for what it was. Michael was the entire show; his brothers might as well have been the Pips, LOL. The one song Jermaine sang was pre-recorded. I'll always remember that.
