In a game of Top Trumps I expect that The Beatles card would be a safer bet in most categories.

Then again, I stand by the theory that anything that seems to speak to people in general in vast numbers probably has very little to say.

Cutting through the hype, the purely statistical stuff that comes with being the first band to successfully be exploited in such a high-concept, multi-media fashion, then while The Beatles are far more culturally and commercially significant ... the emotional reaction to the material is always going to be an intensely personal thing and, for me, the most important measure of quality. Does it get you where you live metaphysically?

Over-stating the quality of The Beatles output always strikes me as akin to arguing that Star Wars was the best film ever made.
