The Lads from Liverpool..

Being a musician I listen to various songs from different genres. However, my favourite always been the songs which got guitars, bass & the drum ,.. at least for starters..

Out of all the artists or band's, new or old, The Beatles stand out the most .. an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960.

The members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era.

Rooted in skiffle, beat and 50s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways.

In 1963 their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.

Their musical innovations and commercial success inspired musicians worldwide.Many artists have acknowledged the Beatles' influence and enjoyed chart success with covers of their songs.

The Beatles changed the way people listened to popular music and experienced its role in their lives. From what began as the Beatlemania fad, the group's popularity grew into what was seen as an embodiment of sociocultural movements of the decade, as icons of the 1960s counterculture.

The best-selling band in history, the Beatles have sold more than 800 million physical and digital albums as of 2013.They have had more number-one albums on the UK charts, fifteen, and sold more singles in the UK, 21.9 million, than any other act. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the Beatles as the best artist of all time.They ranked number one on Billboard magazine's list of the all-time most successful Hot 100 artists, released in 2008 to celebrate the US singles chart's 50th anniversary.
As of 2017, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with twenty.The Recording Industry Association of America certifies that the Beatles have sold 178 million units in the US, more than any other artist. They were collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the twentieth century's 100 most influential people.In 2014, they received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

They are my favourite Band.. many say they were overrated... But they are wrong.. Beatles will always be there even after 500 years..
