I don't think the The Beatles were all that. I think they were a lot of hype and in the right place at the right time - then had the right marketing.
I have a fourteen year old daughter and I see how crazy they get. I mean, she has a bad day because her favorite singer got a haircut she doesn't like.
If you look at their early history, the Beatles were more "edgy" and hardcore, especially in their German days. They were punk rockers and into all kinds of drugs. They gained a small following there,in the UK... But they had to clean their image up to take it the next level.
What made them big was hype and marketing.
