I think a lot of people forget that pop-music is a business. Pop bands are essentially corporations in competition with each other. I think the true legacy of The Beatles is that they were the first band to understand that about themselves. But to then assign unique artistic genius to that output--that's completely ignoring that competition existed at all. Like how some fanboys seem to think Apple invented the smartphone.

Yeah as someone using Symbian years before iphone I always find it funny they kept calling it first smartphone. Heck even in my previous dumb Java phones I was already many years before running email client, IM, games, browser, calendar and was doing almost everything I'm doing with smartphone, just the experience was not that pleasant, I was fan of Siemens phones which allowed root access to file system unlike other locked brands where you could not even share your resources with others.
