Mate - no Beatles and music was screwed - best band ever - end of story
As much as I used to love KISS you can never, ever compare the 2 bands for their music.
I concur - Their music is incomparable - 100% 
Different music, but I would rate ABBA just as good as the Beatles. Both bands had it all, both had an equally huge part in music's evolution. I cant think of another band that could top either of them for that.
Cheap Trick, Eagles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin..
