you're kinda missing my point here.

I'm saying that the enduring nature of the Beatles fad is in large part due to the culturally hegemonic position of the Baby Boomers today...if the Beatles had come along during late 70's and early 80's or during the early 1950's, they wouldn't be nearly as regarded because there just aren't as many Gen-Xrs and Greatest Generationers as there are Baby Boomers.
