Thanks! You are right. A bit hard to compare. The Beatles were like a super group. Three amazing songwriters creating music together. Led Zeppelin is a better band than Lynyrd yes, some say they are the greatest rock band ever. But again greatness is many times measured by that melancholic pop standard. Beatles went psychedelic too, but it was still mostly pop rock. It is not that hard to put out some baroque pop stuff out when you have George Martin as a producer and i think Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a very overrated album and lacks soul. Pet Sounds is much better in my opinion. But most of their other albums are amazing.
Music went less boring in 70's and got very ambient in 80's. It got better all the time i think. Music got more serious and less dumb. From your very good list, i think Queen, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin could be considered as better bands than The Beatles. And i would add Coldplay to your list too.
