This extreme love for them never seems genuine to me. It's even the main reason I despise Madeon.

Their middle years were among the most creative and experimental years of all time for any artist. Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, the White Album, etc. are all absolute masterpieces.
"Hey Jude" is one of the best piano ballads of all time, if not the greatest (of course imo)
All four members were extremely talented, while of course music theory has evolved since then, it's evolved in a bad way. Now we hardly ever encounter a song outside of a few basic major and minor keys. The Beatles experimented with a ton of obscure theory and even had a few of the first big songs with synthesizers (IE: Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds)
Once I got hooked on one Beatles song, I couldn't stop.
