Beatles will always get more credit than they deserve because they were in the right place at the right time and appealed to the masses (who may not have great musical taste)
They did have some good albums (Sgt Pepper) and some good songs (Back in the USSR) but they also had a lot of stuff aimed at cray cray young women.
In term of rock, the 70's may have been the real heyday with folks like BTO, Foghat, Edgar Winter, and that did not splinter to a specific group like Metallica did when they came on the scene. Kiss was a decent band but back in the 70's their legion of fans were as attracted by the show (lights / costumes / explosions) as the actual music.

Wait...What?
Dude, I'm not even much of a Beatles fan but to suggest they're anything other than great is ridiculous.
All of those dudes were ridiculously talented artists. Each and one. Look at their careers post Beatles. Paul McCartney especially is one one the most credentialed artists of all time!
They deserve every bit of their praise.
