I agree with you, Russ. Earlier I mentioned I thought Oasis was one of the most overrated rock bands. I think the Beatles beat every other band for that. This comment will get a lot of negative backlash from the Beatles fans here, they will say the Beatles changed the music industry, they will say that they were a huge influence on countless later bands. I've always found these claims curious. Music is constantly changing no matter how good or bad the bands that are popular are, and every band will say that earlier bands influenced them. I don't think it's possible to quantify just exactly how much influence any band had on future music. Just looking at their music apart from any discussion of influence or impact, I really don't see why they are one of the most exalted bands of the twentieth century.
