the beatles

An English band that was around during the British invasion. At first they made poppy music. What they musically contributed to the world of music was not their style, but experimenting. They were the first pop group to experiment.

They can't be the best band ever because there is no best band ever. They may be your favorite band but that doesn't mean they're the best band ever. Because music is entirely subjective.

People tend to exaggerate their influence. People say they influenced everything. Not true. They influenced musicians in a way to think outside the box and do something new. No bands really derived from their sound, but how they constantly did something different and weren't afraid to.

The music the hipsters listen to would have existed without The Beatles. The Beatles main influence was in the field of Rock, particularly in the sub-genres of Experimental, and Psychedelic.

Mainstream music is Pop-Punk, R&B, Electronic, Rap, and mixtures of those styles.

The Beatles had a strong influence on music, but only on some of the biggest sub-genres of Rock at the time. As I mentioned above, Experimental and Psychedelic.

They had no influence on Punk which inspires a lot of Rock today.
The Beatles are a very influential band, but not influential to all music.

the beatles

An arse kicking band from Liverpool who wrote brilliant songs and had cool hair. The band consisted of George, John, Paul and Ringo.
John Lennon and Ringo Star are dead, but that's okay because George is my favourite Beatle.

The greatest Beatle song is probably either Blackbird or Yellow Submarine.

The Beatles

The most overrated band of all time. Sure, they were influential, you can't deny that, but their music is not as great as everyone makes it out to be. They do have a couple great songs (including Come Together, If I Fell, and I Saw Her Standing There), but it's not like all of them are fucking gifts from God, which is what is widely believed.
Mike: The Beatles are fucking GODLIKE!

Steve: Dude, their incredibly overrated.

Mike: Shut up, you're just a 13 year old that doesn't know what the hell he's talking about!

The Beatles

An awesome band that formed in the 1950's and gained stardom in the 60's. Beatlemania still lives on.
Person 1: What band is that awesome song by?
Person 2: That's the Beatles.
