It is difficult to pigeon hole The Beatles so easily since they covered a lot of musical ground including Rock and Roll, Rock, Hard Rock, Country, Blues, Ballads, Psychodelia, Instrumentals, Soul, Folk, Indian, Symphonic, ie. not stuck in the rut of just one musical genre. However, it is most commonly accepted to assign them as "Rock."

Well, I-tunes categorizes it as Rock, so that's what I would call it. Technically, probably pop or pop rock, but I like to keep all my Beatles under one genre on my iPod, so I just put them all as rock, even though some albums get put under pop.

Wikipedia called it 'folk rock.'

Rock and Pop, in general.

The Beatles have explored many genres in their musical evolution from rock'n'roll in a strip-club in Hamburg to British Invasion, pop in the 55,000 seater Shea Stadium, from the experimental/psychedelic/progessive rock in the big studio of Abbey Road to hard rock/proto-metal scream in The White Album.

Here are a few tracks to listen to differences:

Rock'n'roll: Roll Over Beethoven

Blues rock: Yer Blues

Folk rock: Rocky Raccoon

Hard rock: Birthday

Prog rock: A Day In The Life

Proto-metal/Heavy Metal: Helter Skelter

Ska: Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da

Experimental: Tomorrow Never Knows

Psycedelic rock: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

British Invasion: A Hard Days Night

(For starters)

They experimented with different styles. Their early work was mainly rock 'n' roll and most of their songs were rock. Later they got into other styles including psychadelic rock, baroque pop, experimental rock, raga rock, circus music, orchestral, pop and surf rock.

At the time it was written it would have been right between pop and Rock Music. Nowadays, it would be categorized in Classic Rock.
