Jesus. Not everyone knows who the Beatles are but I would bet MONEY that just about everyone has at least heard of Jesus before. With the exception to like little countries with dictators that refuse to let their people practice their own religion.

As I read through the responses below, a thought popped into my head. How sure am I that Henry the 1st through 8th existed and how much of what you read is historical fact versus words on a page?

Using another Englishman's approach; how would Occam's Razor deal with the question of Christ? Might be a bit of a bias I suppose, considering the theory comes from a Franciscan friar, but that aside; has anyone been able to prove that Christ did not exist? Maybe there is indisputable proof out there that Christ did not exist, but I haven't seen it and until that happens for me personally, the simple explanation that someone must be at the root of these stories remains the most plausible.
When you put John Lennon's comment that the Beatles were more popular that Christ into his intended context; it still may have been inaccurate. When you think that a guy is walking around for a few years, without a professional publicist, without TV, radio, the world wide web and people are still talking about things he said two thousand years later; this guy, no matter if you believe he was God or not, it one heck of a guy. The thoughts and influence of almost everyone reading these words now will at best last one generation beyond death. JC was incredibly special. The Beatles are just special.
I am a huge fan of John Lennon's music and contributions to thought, but he will fade away, just like rock and roll will fade away before Christianity does. My belief is that eventually, Christianity will evolve into what Christ called for, versus what it appears to be now. To me, hopefully all religions will. Rock on JC!

All you have to do is realize that (in the US at least), most people under 20 probably have NO IDEA who the Beatles were!

the evidence of their existence is unquestioned - so their being famous is based on indisputable fact...
The story of Jesus is not only disputed but has been adopted and injected with insanity by millions of people over time -
there are plenty of people who argue strongly that the Jesus of the Bible is a fictionalised amalgum of ideas and events spread over a long period of non recorded, story telling based history...
he didn't make any recordings - nor did any of his peers. The only written records were made more than 100 years after the events are supposed to have happened...
Have any stories your great great grandfather told of life before the first world war been maintained exactly as they were told originally?
not a chance.
so who is REALLY more famous, as in people are sure of having heard of a reality?
The Beatles are.
