They're tough to compare because they were stylistically different. But if you want just straight up overall impact, it's really not that close. Beatles hands down. When John Lennon made the statement that they were bigger than Jesus, he was talking about their popularity. And he wasn't really exaggerating, lol. EWF did not reach that status.They were more popular than Jesus to many of the Western teenage and twenty-something world at their height. Lennon was a complete twit with most of what he said outside the realm of music. Saying he was more popular than Jesus in the World was as absurd as thinking he's going to create world peace by jumping in bed naked with his stupid wife and putting it on TV.John Lennon was a twit? I have officially heard it all on this board. Yeah having a philosophy of love and peace throughout the world is quite twitish I know you're somewhat of a religious zealot, and were probably offended by his statement. And based on the rest of your post, I'd say you don't have any clue about what The Beatles really were about. No of course they weren't literally bigger than Jesus, but at the time it was complete and utter chaos everywhere they went.
