British Invasion Of Rock Music,1960's.


No band/artist has changed the course of rock music like them.It all started in Liverpool ,England basically because it was one of the most important urban city in the UK at that time.It was said that there were around 400 bands that were active at that time which resulted in a massive flourish of music in England.These bands were often performing in Hotels , Clubs and Small Concerts to get the big break.


The Beatles got theirs in the year 1962 which shot them to super stardom.Because of that ,a number of bands from Liverpool also made into the charts like "The Searchers".Coming back to The Beatles,it always consisted the same line up of four from their formation at 1960,John  Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney,George Harrison and Ringo Starr.The Beatles got immense fame for the release of their first single 'Love Me Do' at the year 1964 and even though they were together only for a mere six more years,they came to be known as one of the greatest bands of all time.A simple fact-The Beatles is the best selling band of all time.


 In the year 1967 they released a album  Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that is still considered a masterpiece.Many critics consider their music has the finest ever and even after approximately 50 years after their break-up,their music is still in top demand!.A very few out of their massive list of super hits are "yesterday","Hey Jude","Cant Buy Me Love","All My Loving","This Boy","Eight Days A Week","Help!","Lady Madonna",Ballad Of John And Yoko","Ticket To Ride","Ticket To Ride","Yellow Submarine","Let It Be (From the Academy Award Winning Film)".


The Beatles changed the way a common man listens to music and they also played a important role in Rock and Pop Music from then on. From what began as the simple Beatlemania fad, the band from liverpool grew to be perceived by their young fans all across the world as the representatives, even the embodiment, of ideals associated with cultural transformation.

Tragedy struck The Beatles fans when John Lennon was murdered outside his residence in New York in 1980 by one of his own fans.Although after their Break-up in 1970,the members of the band released their own solo albums which often included 'featurings' from other members although all of them did not perform in one single song rather in different songs in the same album.Ringo Starr's solo work "Starr" was one album that involved the work of all the other members but in different songs.George Harrison Died of cancer in the year 2001 and only Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr is still active in the music scene.

The Beatles will always be remembered as a true legend of rock n roll music and their music will ALWAYS continue to fascinate people all over the globe!!
