*** Similarly, the Giles Martin remixes are very contentious, with some fans preferring them for their greater clarity and lesser GratuitousPanning compared to the original stereo mixes while others dislike them for their more modern sound/[[LoudnessWar additional compression]] and mixing mistakes and fear the possibility of them "replacing" the original mixes in the public consciousness.

* VindicatedByHistory: Both ''Music/TheWhiteAlbum'' and ''Music/AbbeyRoad'' received mixed reactions on their release; the former for its overly satirical nature and lack of coherence, and the latter for its use of synths and overproduction making the album seem artificial. Now, they are considered among the greatest records ever made. The band's turn toward psychedelia also alienated their teeny-bopper fanbase and more conservative listeners still dislike that era, but it's now seen as when the band really came into their own artistically.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: Do NOT call the Beatles a BoyBand, as some fans will jump down your throats if you do so. This is often because of their iconic Fab Four teenybopper era which really ''was'' boy band-like. However, fans are quick to point out that they eventually changed their sound and genre. Even then, their early years are often billed by fans as simply "60s rock n' roll" rather than TeenPop.

* CreatorWorship: The Beatles are still the most famous, recognizable, popular, most covered and influential band of all time, far above any other band before or after them. They are a timeless and universally beloved musical act, adored by people of all ages and from all kinds of layers of society. Both pop fans as well as rock fans love them, not to mention fans of alternative rock. Every rock and pop artist looks up to them and hopes to achieve the same kind of success or artistic appreciation. Within the Beatles John Lennon has reached similar levels of worship. During his lifetime he was seen as a voice of rebellion and the "smart and cool one" of the Beatles. His murder actually increased his status and nowadays he is seen as according to many, a symbol of pacifism and intellectualism, the coolest Beatle to like and, to many, he most important musician of the 20th century. It got to the point that he is the only musician within the '100 Greatest Britons' election in 2002 to enter the top 10.

** 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.
