Beatles
The Beatles is an English pop and rock band hailing from Liverpool. The Beatles are John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. They are probably the most commercially triumphant bands of the British bands. In the UK, the band had released more than forty singles, albums and EP’s. The band went on to enjoy massive success in various countries, their record label EMI estimated that they had sold more than one billion records. The Recording Industry Association of America rated them as the best selling act of all time in the US.
The Beatle’s initial music roots were deep-seated in the 50’s rock and roll and home grown skifflish sounds, however they went on to explore a plethora of music genres, everything from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. The band’s clothes, accessories and statements made them overnight trend setters amongst the urban crowd. Their sensitization towards increasing social awareness allowed them to exert their influence to wide social revolutions of the 1960’s. Shortly after the official split of the group, all the four members released solo albums. Lennon’s “Plastic Ono Band”, McCartney’s “McCartney”, Starr’s “Sentimental Journey” and Harrison’s “All things must pass all” gained critical acclaim.
