Anyway, I kind of understand why people resent the Beatles' place in the Liverpool's identity, insofar as it can be to the detriment of other things. You could argue, just to take one of many examples, that the city's role in pioneering IVF treatment is equally something to be proud about. But music is one of the great universals, and the Beatles are the biggest phenomenon in its history, so it is not surprising that things are the way they are.
