The Beatles were an English rock bandformed in Liverpool
in 1960. With a line-upcomprising John Lennon, Paul

McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they are
redirected as the most influential band of all time. [1]
The group was integral to the development of 1960s
counter culture and popular music's recognition as an art
form. [2] Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll,
their sound incorporated elements of classical music and
traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored
music styles ranging from ballad sand Indian music top
sych edelia and hard rock.As pioneers in recording, song
writing and artistic presentation, the group revolutionized
many aspects of the music industry and were often
publicised as leaders of the era'syouthand sociocultural
movements.
now I would like to tell briefly, the formation of the band
In March 1957, John Lennon, then aged sixteen, formed a

skiffle group with severe friends from Quarry Bank High
School in Liverpool. They briefly called the Blackjacks,
before changing their name to the Quarrymen after
discovering that another local group was already using the
name. [5] Fifty-year-old Paul McCartney joined them as a
rhythm guitarist short after he and Lennon met that July.
[6]In February 1958, McCartney invited his friend George
Harrison to watch the band. The fifty-year-old audited for
Lennon, impressing him with his playing, but Lennon
initially thought Harrison was too young for the band. After
a month of Harrison's persistence, during a second meeting
(arranged by McCartney), he performed the dead guitar
part of the instrumental song "Raunchy" on the upper deck
of Liverpool bus,[7] and they enlisted him as their lead
guitarist. [8] [9]
By January 1959, Lennon's Quarry Bank friends had left

the group, and he began his studies at the Liverpool
College of Art. [10] The three guitars, billing themselves as
Johnny and the Moondogs,[11] were playing rock and roll
when they could find a drummer. [12] Lennon's art school
friend Stuart Sutcliffe, who had just sold one of his
paintings and was persuaded to purchase a bass guitar
with the proceeds, joined in January 1960, and it was he
who suggested changing the band's name to Beatals, as a
tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets. [13] [14]They used
this name aunt May, when they became the Silver Beetles,
before understanding a brief tour of Scotland as the
backing group for pop singer and fellow Liverpudlian
Johnny Gentle. By early July, they had refashioned
themselves as the Silver Beatles, and by the middle of
August shortened the name to Beatles. [15]
The band's earliest influences includes Elvis Presley, Carl
Perkins, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. [373] During the
Beatles' co-residency with Little Richard at the Star-Club in
Hamburg, from April to May 1962, he advised them on the
proper technique for performing his songs. [374]
Of Presley, Lennon said, "Nothing really affected me until I
heard Elvis. If there hadn't been Elvis, there would not
have been the Beatles." Originating as a skiffle group, the
Beatles quickly embraced 1950s rock and roll and helpless
pioneer the Merseybeat genre,[384] and their repertoire
ultimately expanded to include a broad variety of pop
Music
Although Let It Be was the Beatles' final album release, it

was widely recorded before Abbey Road. The project's
spetus came from an a dea Martin attributes to McCartney,
who suggested they "record an album of new material and
rehearse it, then perform it before a live audience for the
very first time - on record and on film. Martin said that the
project was "not at all a happy recording experience. It was
a time when relations between the Beatles were at their
lowest ebb." Lennon described the widely impromptu
sessions as "hell ...the most misable ... on Earth", and
Harrison, "the low of all-time." Irritated by McCartney and
Lennon, Harrison walked out for five Days. Upon returning,
he threated to leave the band unless they "abandon[ed] all
talk of live performance" and instead focused on finishing a
new album, initially titled Get Back, using
songs recorded for the special TV.
Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr released solo

albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one
or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only
album to includes compositions and performances by all
four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's
participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh
in New York City in August 1971.Other than an unreleased
jam sitting in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore
in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together
again this is their story
from my point of view the band the beatles was the coolest
band of their time considering that it is still listened to
today
