They did some nice pop songs in the early years, but a lot of their latter stuff I just don't care for, honestly. There are a few songs from that period I really enjoy; Here Comes The Sun, Something, Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, Let It Be; but that's about it.

I can't really say that about Pink Floyd at all.

I respect what they did for music and how much they changed it, but they sound like any ordinary band to me. I only really like Come Together, Hey Jude, and Twist and Shout. Other than that, I don't like them.

The "hype" is there for a reason, and I don't think they're overrated at all. If you look at what they wrote and played, back in those days when rock music simply didn't exist, there's no reasonable way to say that they weren't four of the most brilliant musicians ever. I prefer listening to Pink Floyd, but there's no way that Roger, David, Rick and Nick could have done what The Beatles did.

Just my 0.02 euros though.
