| No other band has
had quite the same impact as the four lads from Liverpool. Over the
course of eight years and more than a dozen albums, the Beatles changed
popular music and culture forever, spearheading the 1960s British
Invasion and shaping rock & roll along the way. Along with their
amazing musical output and unprecedented worldwide celebrity, John,
Paul, George, and Ringo were responsible for many pop music revolutions,
major and minor--writing their own material, pushing the limits of the
studio, making films of their music, printing song lyrics on
albums--that today are taken for granted. Although the Beatles disbanded
in 1970, their artistic legacy is permanently ingrained in the entire
world's musical vocabulary |
