The Beatles

One of the best bands in history. The Beatles went through every phase possible for a rock band to go through and have become the quintessential rock band. The started out by creating some very popular music that made them the most popular band in the world. Then, once they had obtained popularity, the Beatles started to experiment in folk music around the mid 1960s. They started to get into drugs that generated the psychadelic sound they had in the years 1965-1967. They then started to get off drugs, but still retained the experimentation that they had during the drugs era. They final two years that the Beatles together was filled with feuding between the band members. They ended up generating 11 albums worth of material and compiling more no 1 singles then any band ever. Every album they created is considered a classic in its own right, and they have become the highest selling recorded musical group in history. Many bands that came after the Beatles cite them as a major influence, such as Led Zeppelin, Elton John, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and many more.

Paul McCartney on Beatles Music: "We always tried to make the music of The Beatles bigger, faster, longer, and better."
