One Direction star Harry Styles says it would be foolish to compare the musical achievements of his band with that of the Beatles.
The 19-year-old star feels that his band also comprising of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson are way behind the Beatles in terms of music, reported Daily Mirror.
"We all sat and watched the film of (The Beatles) arriving in America. And, to be honest, that really was like us. Stepping off the plane, the girls, the madness. It was exactly the same as when we got there - just 50 years earlier," Styles said.
"But none of us think we're in the same league as them music-wise. We'd be total fools if we did. Fame-wise, it's probably even bigger, but we don't stand anywhere near them in terms of music," he added.
