I wasn't trying to say that they are less important (infact i think they are one of the most important atrists in music) i was just reffering to them being called gods.

Come on, not just anybody could have done it! You're making it sound like you or I, if we had been around at the time, could have written the songs they did and had the impact they did. The Beatles were special, they weren't just "quick". Were there other special bands around then that could have possibly done what they did? Sure, inevitably it would have happened, music would have continued to evolve with or without them although probably in a different way, that doesn't make The Beatles' achievements any less special or amazing.

Also, I think people are taking ChiliD's "Gods" comments too literally. To me he was just exaggerating for effect the high esteem he holds them in. Given we're all here spending way too much time talking and obsessing about another band, surely people can relate to that.
