As far as their earliest songs are concerned, "She Loves You" or "I Want To Hold Your Hand" are pretty bland pop songs. Sure, they were great early examples, but I feel like they're just songs written for girls. Kind of like NSYNC or Backstreet Boys songs for the 60's.
And when you hear what they went on to do later on, albums like "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper" really just make those early songs look like shit.
The songs don't suck overall, they just suck in comparison to their later work.

I think as far as music of that era goes, it was pretty damn good. How many songs of that time, in that genre weren't love songs? Back then, there was no "later Beatles" to compare it to. It was what it was, and they did it well.
