The band came together organically. They were not manufactured.
The Beatles played their own instruments.
They wrote their own songs.
Their songwriting evolved and improved. Try listening to Rubber Soul, released only two years into their run, and compare it to their lightweight early hits.
They were a band, not a choreographed dance troupe.
You don't have to like their music, but putting them into the category of NKOTB, Backstreet Boys or En Sync is truly laughable.

I agree with all that. George Martin though played a huge role in pushing them forward.
