(17,230 posts)23. The Beatles?
Much attention is given to their dues-paying days in Hamburg, but from their first album to their last they certainly had the complete package. It is fashionable among music snobs to disparage their early material when compared to their later work. but music snobs don't much appreciate rock and roll (which is a style that differs from rock). Most of the Motown groups were also packaged and perfect, but they rarely wrote their own material.
