I dont understand why the Beatles were so famous

I was with a band that had a gig that weekend. What's that mean, we were nobodies? Come on.
I am not saying there were not more prolific bands or many musicians with equal talent, but there have been very few that came close to Lennon/McCartney for durable song writing skills.
What do double and triple albums have to do with quality? I never said they made the most money (I believe that was Creedence) or did the most tours or even wrote the most songs, just that they were one of the most original and creative bands in history. Not too many other pop/rock bands have their music played regularly by the great symphony orchestras of the world.
Are there bands I like better? Yes, but that doesn't take anything away from the Fab Four.
