You called them wankers
I wouldn't say they're The Greatest Band Ever though. Just damn good at what they were doing. The reason they've touched so many people and continue to do so is the most blatant proof that there is something about their music that is irresistible.
Also, they've done a lot of different things. So you can pick what you like best. Like a candy shop!
I would say it's all a matter of taste in the end but
oh come on, The Beatles!
They are to the ears what chocolate is to the tongue.
