Create a band bigger than the Beatles

The Beatles are the most influential band of all time. Some consider them the best band of all time. Even if you dont agree with that, its fair to give their respect as the Biggest band in history.
So here are the rules. Put together 4 people who could have enough chemistry to top the Beatles.
Now this is tricky just using solo artists. For example, Jimi Hendrix...can you really use him? Since he had "The jimi Hendrix Experience" or Eric Clapton who was in a couple bands. So if ultimately it becomes too tough to come up with 4 guys as a band better than the Beatles. I guess you could use guys from other bands.
What make the Beatles so tough to top imo is the Lennon/McCartney thing. In a way its just not fair (to other bands) that these guys were in the same band. Then add in George and it makes them the GOAT.
So for fun....come up with a band (if you can do it from solo artists do so..if not, hell with it and pick who you like from a band) thats bigger than the Beatles.

Don't see it ever coming close to even mention happening.
However: Raconteurs have some moments. All exceptional musicians that sound exceptional together. All can write. I wish they'd all drop everything and focus on the one project. They could do some things.

you need songwriters to match the Beatles.
Like Elton & Dylan together.

That's really key. Paul and John were the primary song writers but then George was great too. All things must past proves that

Idk about 4, but add Van Morrison, Dylan and Bingham to The Band and I would take them over The Beatles any day of the week
