Technically speaking, the idiots above are somewhat correct. The Beatles were a middle man in influencing modern rock, albiet a very important middle man. Early blues musicians from America were the true influential backing for most of the 60's and 70's. BUT, the Beatles were the first band to truly take the bluesy sound and transform it into what we see as modern rock. you can even track this progression through their discography, each album growing more like rock, and with a more bluesy background. Now the persons above do not seem to realize just how pivotal a role this was. No one had ever before done anything like this. This paved the way for such groups as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and the like. The Beatles music in general may be slightly overated (although i do not belive so) BUT the musical importance of it is in NO way overated, it was such an enormously pivotal role in the transition from early rock to what is now called modern rock it is hard to imagine what would be considered modern rock if fate had not brought together some of the most musically talented individuals the 60's, or the 20th century for that matter, saw.

Get the The Sex Beatles mug.Any person, living or dead, who dances and dresses better than you. Generally a smoker of clove cigarettes and drinker of coffee, an intellectual, a gentleman, a scholar and almost definitely out of your league. Always has a highly intelligent, smokin' hottie from Littleton Panel on his arm.

Get the beadle's handful mug.The Great Imposter, faker and deciever, of otherwise good men, whose job it is is to thankfully keep us honest. He is not real, though believing him to be so, he will convince you he is and you will then believe it is so. The unholy sleep he induces can indeed deepen, but can never fully take one over without chance of waking, as nothing can lie outside of Infinite Love & Intelligence. Nightmares are infinite though also, and should be avoided at all costs.
Beazlebub is able to impersonate most politicians, some lawyers, too many doctors, Generals & Majors, bosses IN general, priests and holy men of every faith... Basically, anyone who thinks he's in charge but really isn't and has convinced himself he believes he is. Philosophers, psychologists, scientists and "school" "teachers" of all sorts (yes, even kindergarden teachers)... In short, he runs the world as we know it but, thank Dee-vine Providence, not as it truly is.

Get the Beazlebub mug.What can you say about the best band in the history of the everything? There were "one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music", (Wikipedia) but they were more than that. They inspired people everywhere with messages to "Let it Be" and "Work it out". From 1962, the band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
They all played a variety of instruments. Depending on the tone and beat of the song, either Paul or John would usually sing. The faster beat songs were generally John, and the slower, lovey songs were usually Paul. Some songs included the harmonica (played by John), so Paul usually sang those, but occasionally John would switch between vocals and harmonica, like in "I Should Have Known Better". George and Ringo had their share of songs, too. I think George's most famous song is "Here comes the Sun" and Ringo's most well-known is "Yellow Submarine".
The Beatles acted in two movies, chronologically, "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help". They performed select songs in both.
The world died a little inside when the Beatles disbanded in 1970. They all started solo careers; Paul starting Wings with his wife Lynda.
John was killed in 1980 by Mark David Chapman in front of his home, the Dakota, in New York; George died in 2001 from cancer. Paul and Ringo are still living to this day. Some people say that they're dying in order of talent, but I say that they each played a special and necessary part in the Beatles and were all equally influential in changing the world.
I love the Beatles. I'm just going to say that straight out right now, if you haven't already realized that. The Beatles changed the world with their influence. Beatles forever - Strawberry Fields Forever!
