The Beatles were a product of British popular music, and their early work reflected that in many cases. Since I personally have always had a very broad appreciation of musical styles, I *admire* the early work of The Beatles. Where others might find their renderings of music from our grandparents, and even great-grandparents' day, *I* think it is proof positive of their genius.
The Beatles were equally comfortable with a wide variety of styles, from Standards to Country to British Music Hall, and on through being one of the progenitors of psychedelica.
Doesn't get much better than that, IMHO.
