And Rat, it's completely negligent of you to call The Beatles "Greatness a product of revisionistic history". The greatest artists of popular music are considered great for many reasons, one big one being their music transcends and continues to influence through generations. Elvis, The Beatles, Hendrix, The Who, The Kinks, The Stones, Miles Davis, James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Muddy Waters etc... all live up and exceed the hype and DO NOT suffer from the misused revisionist tag. You gotta research and learn about the different eras before you make narrow-minded statements.
