I think Beatles were incredibly innovative, probably much more than Genesis, more than ANY band, so I won't argue that they were any less than Genesis on that point. Great songwriters too (except for the respective drummers in the band). Certainly much much more than a 'boy band', even in the early stage of their career.
But a lot of proggers, including me, have a bigger love for Genesis. It's a matter of the heart, I suppose.

The hug is for the matters of the heart, the naughty-naughty corner for preferring Genesis over Beatles?

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

As much as I love a man wearing a fox on top of his head while wearing a red dress, this is no comparison to me against the Beatles.

Genesis made a lot of great music, but I have always had reservations about them:
1. I can't say I like Gabriel's voice too much (Collins's is not much better). 2. Genesis albums are lengthier than what I consider optimal. Some of them feel outright TL;DL 3. After a number of strong albums, Genesis made a few embarrassingly weak ones.
By way of comparison:
1. The Beatles remains one of the best vocal groups of all time 2. All "mature" (post-1965) Beatles albums are of optimal length and have perfect timing and structure. The 90' 2LP White Album is probably the only double album that I can listen to in one sitting. 3. There isn't a single post-1965 Beatles album that I consider weak, inconsistent, derivative or disappointing in any other way.
Regarding the oft-mentioned "influence": Genesis made a lot of ingenious symphonic rock, which is still being imitated (or emulated) by a number of new(er) bands. At the same time, the Beatles completely overhauled the whole world of popular music. I'd argue that the Beatles's innovation in 1965-1970 helped create or bring to the fore a good dozen styles, including symph, hard rock, psychedelic, electronic and what not.

I SO beg to differ! Without Peter Gabriel there would not have been the BRILLIANT Genesis of the 1970-1974 period...
