Frank, you bastard, I read your book

I'm listening to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for the first time in over thirty years and I've got to say, man, it didn't age well.
Face it, the Beatles were the original Boy Band.
1. They had an aggressive manager, Brian Epstein
2. They had a brilliant producer, George Martin
3. They wrote catchy little pop songs
4. They couldn't duplicate in performance what they did in the studio
5. They had the rebel, John
6. They had the bubbly one, Paul
7. They had the shy one, George
8. They had the cut-up, Ringo
9. They were never as good as the sum of their parts
10. Boy band ... boy band ... boy band
