Preferences in music have to do with the listener, not the music listened to. There is only what your reflection tells you, not the projected image itself. The definition is inconstant, as it cannot be defined, only averaged.

In this place called reality, this holographic dimensional space, objectivity cannot exist, and does not, by all scientific measure. Objectivity is a subjective mindset, nothing more. Music, by that fundamental reference, is purely a subjective and personal reflection, and is never about the music itself, and only about the listener.
The Beatles are overrated by today's standards, and following the flow during their time. In some ways they where innovators and due to their influence at the time, it seems as if they were THE innovators (of the given changes in the music scene.

Decent performers, early examples of studio rats, combined with good minds and a good creative mix, tied to market penetration at the time.

Somebody had to peak in that window and potentials in market position, and they did. They produced well known memorable works.
