THE BEATLES
Yes, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr
four young Englishmen from an industrial British town of Liverpool
change the world with their body of work and their catchy and experimental
rock music that has touched alot of people's heart with their musical genius
especially with their groundbreaking studio work and their live performances that has got the screaming fans at their feet.
The songs created by Lennon and McCartney from "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold your Hand" saw an innocence of the band that was catchy and commercial that had a Buddy Holly and Elvis inflouence in their music and they came to the US at the height when President Kennedy was assassinated.
The band were at their best with songs lke "Help" and the experimental "Rubber Soul" and "Reolver" record which was the beginning of the band's greatness they were the precusor to their "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" record.
John Lennon was a genius in writing good experiemntal rock sounds as he teames up with Paul McCartney they have created a body of work that has been special .
There was a folk style of the Dyalnesque "You've Gotr to Hide your Love Away" to the pschedelic Indian influenced "Tomorrow Never Knows" and the dramatic "A Day In The Life".
The road was gettint to them and John's controversial comments that the beatles were more popular than Jesus which I kind of agree sorry to those religious freaks, I only agree based on album sales and ticket sales and they were the first stadium band, and have paved the way for rock bands to play in large arenas and stadiums, that even their music wasn't being heard since the screaming fans were out of control that they stopped touring altogether in August 1966 to be more a studio band and created great albums like "Sgt Pepper" "Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack", "The Beatles; White album", the soundtrack to "Let It Be' and the final studio album which I call it their masterpiece better than the overrated Sgt Pepper its "Abbey Road". Let's not forget George Harrison , the strong silent member of the band who has been the group's musical backbone with his great guitar playing and songwriting as he did with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun" and his playing in "Day Tripper" and "Get Back" made him a ital group backbone and Ringo Starr the greatest time keeping drummer who kept the backbeat. The band split -up in September 1969 but their music had an everlasting inpact on alot of artists and musicians out there.

Here is a clip of the song "The End" which is one of the final songs The Beatles ever recorded as a group a poignat farewell to a great group opf great musicians recorded in August 1969 in Abbey Road Studios. John can really wail on his guitar and joined by george and Paul doing their guitar parts as you can see the band in their final photoshoots together done by Linda McCartney at John's twickenhurst estate in Londonjust one month before their break-up, the song sums it all of the end of an era but the legacy continues. August 1969
