So the writer is countering pop music artists with pop music artists.
Great.
And the Beetles are the most overrated band ever.

6 Some producers use auto-tune these days
7 peanut allergies are becoming more common as people who listen to operetta die out.
8 Steve Jobs never owned Virgin Records.
9 The percentage of children that illegally download music is larger then those who speak 5 or more languages.
10 most people no longer sit around the wireless after dinner.
11 Anyone can make up a list of bull to put the wind up you.
12 Even if it's true, what are you going to do, Stop listening to music? Pfft.
I'm not a huge beatles fan, but its simply impossible to question their value- They've probably had the biggest influence on (popular) music out of anyone ever. Listening to them now they might not sound that great, but its because their influence is so ubiquitous that so much that has been made since then is basically advancing on what they started.
If you don't like beatles you don't like guitar-based music, or pop music basically :p

Led Zeppelin have never had a number one single because Led Zeppelin didn't release singles. They did sell 300 million albums though, which is approximately 280 million more than Rihanna.
Oh man, I haven't listened to any Led Zep for years. Forgot how much I love this one:

Eh, no. I like some bands with guitars just fine, but never felt any connection to The Beatles. I don't hate them, I just don't like them.
And this list is silly comparing physical media sales to the much cheaper mp3 alternative. There are also many more humans consuming at this point also. Obvious, I know, but, well I dunno, just wanted to say it I guess.
