I completely agree with Tung. The Beatles were revolutionary band that still has a huge devoted number of fans. They sang about a LOT more than submarines, hon.
Ever hear Happiness is a Warm Gun? they have the drums playing in a 4/4 time, while they sing in 3/4, a waltz tempo.
Howabout Because? Inverted Beethovan chords right there.
Taxman? that's completely political, dealing with taxing of the wealthy in england.
Martha My Dear? About Paul McCartney's dog.

no? I didn't think so.

They changed the way music was, and made it something new, something great. NO one has even come close to the success they had. I'm a bit biased, because they're my favorite band ever, but even people who don't like them know what they did, and respect them for it.
They're beginning to be waaaaaay overmarketed now, with all this Across the Universe crap. I see girls walking around with Beatles bag, shirts, whatever. It pisses me off, because they only know the songs that were in the movie, or off the 1 album. They have Let it Be on their iPod and call themselves a Beatles fanatic. BULL. I asked one of these girls to name all four of the Beatles and she was like "well...um....uh...like, one of them was named Ringo, right?"

So, overmarketed, unfotunately, yes
Overrated, HELL NO.
