He's perfectly rated. Nobody actually thinks he's particularly good. Everyone just acknowledges the sheer amount of people that imitate/emulate his playing.

You can trace the Beatles influence to so many aspects of music culture and culture in general it is absurd. From hair to fashion to recording tech to songwriting to the business end of things, etc. Not to mention the almost unbelievable amount of timeless songs they wrote in such a short period of time.
Also, U2 has two of the best rock records ever made, a ton of other fantastic material and has always been an incredible live band. Make fun of Bono's douchiness all you want, but you can't deny The Joshua Tree.
