** There were also some American rock and roll fans, particularly in the very early stages of Beatlemania, who resented the group for displacing the more home-grown sounds of rockabilly, doo-wop, surf music, etc. from the pop charts.

* MyRealDaddy: As noted under TropeMaker; While Rock N' Roll had already existed for over a decade by that point, the Beatles are often seen as the point where a lot of the most common rock music tropes were established. Many young artists who saw The Beatles on the Series/TheEdSullivanShow in 1964 were truly motivated to pick up guitars, start bands in their garage, and write their own songs. In other words, it established rock music's image as a band-centric music and art form that was accessible to almost everyone.

** The Beatles could be one for popular music as a whole. Similar to Music/LudwigVanBeethoven's towering role over classical music, many popular music artists feel that the group's work is so good that they couldn't possibly surpass it, nor should they even attempt to. Consider the backlash that Terence Trent D'Arby received for comparing his debut to ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' and how his career never recovered from that.
