The 1960s band which basically invented modern music.
Originally the 1960s equivalent of a "boy band" which frequently covered existing 1950s and early 1960s rock songs (they were once rejected by a major record label named Decca), The Beatles became so popular that they stopped touring after they could not handle the screaming fangirls.
Many people feel that this refusal to tour was instead a decision to concentrate on music which (back then) could only be produced using the studio. The Beatles then did many amazing things in the studio, which basically invented modern music. They also were key hippie figures in the drug counterculture.
A popular urban legend developed around the band, where bassist Paul McCartney was replaced by an impostor, which manifested itself in clues present in artwork and songs. (A similar conspiracy theory developed later regarding the supposed secret replacement of Pope Paul VI with an impostor.)
The Beatles broke up in 1969, with the last album being released in 1970. Key factors behind this were business issues behind Apple Records (then the 1960s equivalent of an "indie record label") and arguments between the songwriters Paul McCartney and John Lennon, especially regarding Lennon's love interest Yoko Ono.
A minority of people consider the Beatles to lack musical talent, and instead having more talent with "behind-the-scenes" stuff which was cutting-edge at the time.
Regardless of this debate, the Beatles did invent modern music, and because of this are appreciated to this day and probably for many future generations as well.
The Beatles rock!

The Beatles = greatest rock band of all time. You don't need to trash other recording artists (even if they kinda deserve it) in order to recognize this.
Masters of a polished, melodic, harmonic, often trippy/psychedelic sound.
Developed into highly-artistic concepts in their later years
Many other rock bands are great in their own ways (I particularly like Led Zeppelin's sound as well), and other genres have their own accomplishments, but there will be another one like the Fab Four.
Sgt. Peper wasn't even The Beatles ' only Great Art, and pretty much all of the songs from all of the albums are amazing anyways.

The reason God gave us ears.
Then God said "Let there be ears." and the humans were given ears. Then The Beatles played.

Undisputedly the BEST, most AMAZING band ever. Appreciated, loved, an adored by all of those who truly understand what real music is. Sadly, some of those faggy new-age kids think they're "Gay", or "puss-tastic". These kids should either be A: Beaten over the head with the crappy albums they listen to, til they lie on the ground bleading, B: Be forced to listen to The Beatles until they have a musical epiphany and realize the glory of this band, or, if all else fails, C: die in a hole.
Long arguments can be held at lunch tables or cocktail parties or the workplace, or wherever you spend your time, said arguments being held with said faggy punks.
They wrote some of my favorite songs, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Revolution, Let It Be, Hey Jude, Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds, What You're Doing, and Blackbird.
Argument with me and my friends at lunch table:
Me: Dude, I just bought another Beatles album that I didn't have, I'm so siked!
Intelligent Music Loving Friend: Dude, that's awesome! That band rocks!!!
Un-named faggot #1: God, you guys are such pussies!! I can't beleive you don't listen to ear-drum-ripping, head pounding, I'm gonna go kill mself music!
Un-named fag #2: Yeah, or (c)rap music!! The Beatles are for gay guys!!
Me and my music loving friend: *pull out shotgun, load with a couple orunds of common sense, fire at un-named fags til they lie on the ground bleeding, stupidity drainging from the bullet holes scattered across their bodies. walk away, laughing.*
