The Beatless aren't, never have been, and never will be a "rock" band. They're a pop / boy band who went "off the rails." Their mind-numbing tracks would be very easy to play on a normal guitar, never mind on the dumbed-down Rock Band version.
Their "fans" make the bold assumption that The Beatless are the root of all "rock" music ever, and that if they had never existed, "rock" would still sound like Elvis. But when you say that The Beatless are the end-all-be-all of "rock" today, you're an idiot. Rock music existed before The Beatless, and it probably would've done just fine without them.
Look at Led Zeppelin. They evolved from The Yardbirds, who formed around 1963, roughly the same time as The Beatless. Let's assume The Beatless never existed (if only). The Yardbirds probably would've gotten just as big, with Clapton, Page, and Beck joining the band and Page turning the band into Led Zeppelin, maybe sounding slightly different than the Led Zeppelin we know today.
On top of that, bands and performers such as Chuck Berry, The Doors, and The Kinks would've had a larger influence on true rock 'n' roll. And of course, we can't forget Les Paul, who not only made great advances in recording technology, but also helped greatly in the popularization of the electric guitar, an essential element of virtually all rock, country, funk, metal, prog, punk, and much avant-garde.
In Brian Epstein's 1964 autobiography A Cellarful of Noise (how apt!!), their manager describes in detail how he had to address their early "scruffy" leather-clad rocker look. Epstein's assistant Alistair Taylor recalled in his own book that on 14 December 1961–the day after The Beatless signed their management contract–the foursome were marched to Birkenhead tailor Beno Dorn (a friend of Epstein's) for fittings for matching made-to-measure dark blue suits. They also had their hair neatened at Liverpool's top-notch barber Horne Brothers.
And if that's not record company marketing, then what is?

Strange, because this is one of the funniest memes to me
The fact that so many books still name Mozart as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" classical composer ever only tells you how far classical music still is from becoming a serious art. Indie critics have long recognized that the greatest Indie musicians of all times are Alex Turner and Julian Casablancas, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial John Cage over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Most classical critics are still blinded by commercial success. Mozart sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Indie critics grow up listening to a lot of Indie music of the past, punk critics grow up listening to a lot of punk music of the past. Classical critics are often totally ignorant of the classical music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Mozart did anything worthy of being saved.

Bro. Seriously. I am 24. Hit some bumps in life. I am planning to return to college and get my degree. I'm going to be busy. Could you possibly write my essays for me? I'll pay you.
War, murder, lies and deceit
The Eternal Anglo WILL BE BEAT
Aryan brothers never late
To bring the Anglo his grim fate
Beady eyes, full of lies
Subject of worldwide despise
War and murder they commit
The Eternal Anglo's full of shit
Satisfied with mocking the Aryan poster, William slurped his Tetley tea while eating a piece of sponge cake on Buckingham Palace's finest royal china. However, due to his diet of tea, fish and chips he began having a big tummy ache. He power walked to the nearest bathroom when a guard shouted "Sorry old chap, the loo's broken down again!". William screamed "BLOODY HELL, I NEED TO RELEASE", he was overcome with being desperate. He ran to the nearest window and pulled down his smart trousers, he then pulled down his "I LOVE MUMMY" pants. However, he was unaware that the Prime Minister and the Queen were right beneath him oblivious to what was going to happen next. William released his sloppy feces from his buttocks landing onto the Queen and David Cameron, William sighed in relief while he showed off his 2-inch flaccid dick and crooked teeth. He slathered the excess shit on Daddy's trousers and said "That felt tippity toppity good, wimble womble!". Little did he know, the thread he replied to was quickly filling with comments...
