You are missing the point, The Beatles, unlike say The Rolling Stones or Metallica didn't stick to one genre of music. They explored at one time or another, virtually every musical genre known... elements of country, classical, vaudville, psychedelic, Indian, motown and blues permeate their music.
But any real student of The Beatles knows that the greatest influence on them was 50's rockers like Buddy Holly and Chubby Checker.
Saying that the Beatles were a "pop group" is nothing more than gross ignorance.
