The Beatles are the greatest rock band ever. Why are they so great? Well, a number of factors go into this including (1) their diverse musical style, (2) their prolific discography, (3) their artistic ambition, and (4) their playful public image.
[edit] The Basics
The Beatles consisted of:
- John Lennon
- Paul McCartney
- George Harrison
- Ringo Starr (formerly Richard Starkey)
They were a rock band from Liverpool, England that existed roughly from 1960 to 1970. But their influence has shaped virtually every musical development since then.
[edit] Their Work
The Beatles had a lot of albums. Here were the best ones:
- Revolver ('66)
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ('67)
- Magical Mystery Tour ('67)
- The White Album ('68)
- Abbey Road ('69)
Those albums, created during their peak period, really exemplify what makes the Beatles great, why so many people love their music. Prior to that, they had made British-sounding love songs like "Love Me Do" and "She Loves You" (yeah, yeah, yeah).
