exactly. to me, it comes down to this.
the beatles were relevant to the fainting teenage girls in 1964.
the beatles were relevant to my dad, who was born in 1957.
the beatles are relevant to me, born in 1983.
their music stands the test of time.
contrariwise, elvis is good for an occasional listen, but not more than a small handful of songs. michael jackson is good for another small handful of songs (I've never been a huge pop/r&b fan... billie jean, thriller, and his other huge hits are great though).
but neither are in the beatles' league, IMHO.
