The Beatles were a rock and pop band from Liverpool, England that formed in 1960. During their career, the group primarily consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and skiffle, the group worked with different musical genres, ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, style and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon successful solo careers.
The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over one billion records internationally. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one, earning more number one albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries; their record company, EMI, estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion records worldwide.According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles have sold more albums in the United States than any other band. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles number one on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to that same magazine, The Beatles' innovative music and cultural impact helped define the 1960s, and their influence on pop culture is still evident today. In 2008, Billboard magazine released a list of top-selling Hot 100 artists to celebrate the chart's fiftieth anniversary; The Beatles topped it.

Sk8terpunkgirl, you must not have heard "Twist and Shout" or "Helter Skelter" or "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" or "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."
She's not a girl who misses much (do do do do do, oh yeah). She's well acquainted with the touch of a velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane...

i made my friend, the Korn addict, watch it with me. even she liked it. i love the part with George on the back of the car. xD though i shouldnt have a fave, if i had to choose, he'd be it. =P
across the universe is one of my favorite movies of all time. ever. <333 the plot and the songs and the characters' individuality.
but no matter how the characters sing it, the Beatles could do it better. xD

The beatles are 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000times better than the gay Jonas brothers.
long live the BEATLES!
<33
love them sososososo much <3
VSgurlee, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers combined don't even amount to a 1,000,000th of the Beatles. They were able to reach kids as well as adults, quite a feat.
A life without the Beatles is a life unfinished.
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Ive seen that road before
It always leads me her
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times Ive been alone
And many times Ive cried
Any way youll never know
The many ways Ive tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Dont leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
really...The Beatles are the best..
Living is easy with eyes closed...nothing is real
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOT ON???? THE BEATLES ARE SHITE! THEY ALONG WITH BOB DYLAN ETC KILLED ROCK… AS I A;LWAYS SAID… NOTHING GOOD EVER CAME FROM LIVERPOOL!!!!!
Ah Rebel Kitten, poor little kitty
If it wern't for the Beatles and Bob Dylan your AC/DC and Aerosmith and all the others who came along afterword wouldn't be. The Beatles opened up the posibilities of Rock. Ever hear of a little song called Helter Skelter? They did hard rock before it had a name. Better go back to Liverpool and study up. LOL
To Rebel Kitten:
To follow up on Pudfker:
Without Mr. Dylan over here, rap as it is today - exemplified by the likes of Makaveli and B. I. G. and Eminem, and bastardized by the likes of whoever's popular nowadays - would be a distant dream. Want proof? Check It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding).
Calling the Beatles “pop” music is a fucking sin. Pop didn’t exist yet when the Beatles were making albums.
Actually Owncreation The Beatles were considered a pop group when they started. Rock and Roll and what became Rock did not get any respect in 1964. It was through the body of work that The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the whole 60's music movement if you will lifted the music to where people started listening to it and yeah they helped establish Rock. When they started they sang Love Me Do and I Wanna Hold Your Hand, by the end they were doing Revolution and Something, Rock Classics.
The are my gods <3 Yeah i know i'm a freak XD
I love the Beatles :]
