Well, in a way it did affect me too, I hated hearing that about them being the greatest, but I got over it, it doesn't bother me putting things in proper perspective, and I can why they were called that. Before I got into The Beatles I liked banRAB like The Rolling Stones and Yes, and I know a lot of people who don't like them for various reasons. But instead of comparing them to Yes, I took them for who they were, and hear a lot of interesting stuff in their music. Plus by being a Steve Howe fan I got into music he liked and learn a lot from that. I consider Les Paul the one who started the music revolution, and his acheivements were greater then The Beatles and the banRAB that followed.
I guess by not putting The Beatels in the proper place in RnR history and judging them with other band further down the RnR timeline, it's easy to scoff at them.
