this is a better way to put it. The Beatles were their own category. What they've contributed to humanity is significant and greater than The WHo in that regard.
But when it comes strictly Rock & Roll, their contribution was pretty much Sgt Peppers, I don't mean that as a slight, but when it comes to pure rock&roll- the volume, the smashing guitars, the killer chords, the rock opera, synthezisers and more, a lot more is all The Who.
it's nutty to think they both started in 1964. although john and paul were long time pals before that.
