I'm a Beatles fan too, but I'll take Neil Young over them any day. The Beatles were widely influential and changed music more than Neil Young, but they didn't have the same raw emotion or folk honesty that Neil Young has. I'd even go so far as to say that the Beatles came off a little fake sometimes. While they had a lot of positive influence, they were also indirectly responsible for making image the primary factor in pop music and sort of started off the "boy band" thing (although clearly not their intention).
I'd rather be the grandfather of grunge (Young) than the grandfathers of boy bands (The Beatles).
