The Beatles are The Beatles because of George Martin. Without his production techniques, they're in the same class as The Kinks.*

*Not that The Kinks aren't awesome, but they are rightly not considered "the greatest ever" by most so-called experts.

EDIT: And the Stones are better than The Beatles in every way that matters.
