The Beatles


Okay, so lets start with my personal favorite, and possibly one of the greatest bands ever -- The Beatles. They were a rock/pop group that formed in Liverpool, England in the 1960's. The band was made up of four members: John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals), and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). There were also two former members, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass guitar) and Pete Best (drums), however, they did not stay with the band for long. When the band broke up in 1970, the four all started out onto solo careers.

The Beatles have sold over one million albums worldwide and have sold more albums in the U.S. than any other artist. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them the number one on their list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. There was also a movie, "Across the Universe", that was made to feature Beatles' songs.

Some famous songs include: Please Please Me, Love Me Do, Twist and Shout, It Won't Be Long, All My Loving, I Wanna Be Your Man, A Hard Day's Night, No Reply, Eight Days A Week, Help!, Ticket to Ride, Drive My Car, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, Sgt.
