Do you recognize their greatness, or dismiss them as a bubble gum group for teenage girls? Hell, maybe in ten years, Bieber will be hailed as a musical genius. Ok, maybe not.

I think the difference between The Beatles and Bieber is quality. Even in the 60s, critics and musicians alike acknowledged how good their music was. It wasn't like Led Zeppelin who received belated praise from magazines like Rolling Stone.

I would probably be amazed by their talents but at the same time would probably hate them because they are taking our women.

There are all sorts of videos of them playing live on YouTube. Watch them perform, and you will see that they were talented musicians. Their song writing early in their career followed the formula of rock and roll songs from the 1950's. They had an energy and intensity to them that fired up an audience when played live. Check out their covers of classic songs by American artists.
As they developed they grew much more creative in their song writing. It's a shame they had to stop performing live after 1966, but when you see how crowds reacted to their performances they didn't have much choice.

While they did have legions of screaming girls chasing them, they weren't anywhere close to the bubble gum pop of the time. Between the time Buddy Holly died and the Beatles, they had stuff like Bobby Vinton (Venus). The early Beatles stuff was a departure from that type of stuff. Its hard today to realize that because music as evolved and splintered into some many sub genres.
