I like the Beatles, but I like other bands better. On one hand I can understand and appreciate that people think they are overrated. On the other hand you have to look at what they accomplished. When they did the Sullivan show for the first time in 1964, 73,000,000 million people tuned in to watch. That was the highest TV audience at that time and for a rock and roll band(and from England), and this is when rock was considered to be "teenage music". In April of that year they had the top 5 spots on the Billboard charts. Nobody has done that since.
