There were two people who thought they were the greatest band in the world -- Brian Epstein and John Lennon, ... Both of them felt that they'd last into the next century.

As much as the R&B people, and the gospel people, and spiritual music, and the country-western people influenced them, I think the Beatles were the bar. And they set the bar, and nobody's quite been able to jump beyond it.
