Is it nostalgia that made the Beatles as popular? Had they reformed they wouldn't be thought of the same as they are today.

The Beatles would of reformed, when John could of been bothered. They had jamming sessions near to John's death but hadn't wrote anything. Paul used to visit him in New York

Even George Harrison once said, "even the Beatles themselves could never be "the Beatles"" (in reference to them getting back together). Part of the reason the Beatles caused a revolution was that a generation was ready for a revolution. In a way, they filled a void. I also believe that only the Beatles could have filled it. For example, the Beach Boys were writing songs before the Beatles came along, but caused nothing even remote to "Beatlemania". The "Beatlemania" gave them the power for more change (Sgt. Pepper, etc.). (Later, after the Beatles came, people then started screaming at the Beach Boys and other musicians too). They would have been a great band if they had reformed, but the nostagia and revolution that their original form had coincided with would have been gone.

No, it was not nostalgia that made the Beatles so popular. It was songwriting ability, especially by Lennon and McCartney.
If they reformed, how bit a smash they would have been the second time would have depended on how expertly they were marketed and by how many good songs they had written for the reunion. Can't say.
Considering the publicity and pressure drove them into the studio, and even then they could scarcely stand each other, I dont' think they were ever even remotely close to reforming as a band. We'll just have to live with "Free as a Bird" as their ghostly back-together-again hit.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "reformed"
The Beatles represented the British Invasion. They represented total changes in the type of music being made.
West coast bands caught on quickly. This was the music of a brand new generation. Parents hated the Beatles because of their hair; you know when parents hate musicians that makes the kids love them more.
Probably part of it was that they split up. People mourned the breakup. Then each one of them became an individual making his own music and the fans loved it.

The Beatles started a new era in popular music,but what an era that was! What a generation to be part of. The legacy of it still lives on today.
And no one has come close to that yet. So the answer to the question is YES.

No, they were a product of an era.
