Beatles Music in the Modern World

The Beatles are without doubt the best rock & roll band there ever was. They aren't my *favorite* band, but one can't argue that they didn't write great pop songs. They covered numerous disparate genres, they survived and thrived in a time of vast musical change, their songs survive to this day and still sound amazing, and maybe most notable of all is just how many incredible songs they created.

All that said, if they appeared out of a vacuum today, would there be any place for them in the modern music market? I don't think they wouldn't find fans, but I suspect they'd languish in obscurity, making music that is too old-fashioned and too cerebral for mainstream radio/streaming. They'd have a following, maybe a fair amount of YouTube followers, but unless they drastically altered their music-- incorporated synths, drum machines, Auto-Tune, guest verses from rappers, gave it an EDM or hip hop feel-- they'd go nowhere.
