The Beatles could play rock, blues, pop, psychedelic music, ballads, basically any style that was popular in the 60's and early 70's, and they created ways of writing and recording music that didn't exist before them. They were geniuses in the recording studio.

[@brianlafrazia8237]

You are watching the prototype of modern popular music, not just rock. These guys are THE roots of it. With the Beatles it’s about understanding the context of what they did - they did it first and influenced the sound of every popular musician that came afterward.

The Beatles have so many great songs , they are like Elvis Presley, as far as being 'known' if you go back and see the reaction of fans from when they first come to America-OMG-them girls done lost their minds, screaming, cheering, and fainting.

You can't listen to one song and "get" the Beatles. Their works are a progress, a development, an anthology that relate to the times in which they lived. They went from simple, but good compositions to complex compositions worked with orchestra and arranged professionally. As the world changed, their lives and their music changed. You can go from one album to another and get a totally different message in a totally different style. They really were exceptional as a group.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Even back in 1961 when The Beatles formed in Liverpool, England, the haters said they were no good... but these 4 young guys changed music forever in just 10 years before they parted ways in 1970. The Beatles were kids in school who heard rock n' roll music from America in 1957 and decided they wanted to play music... they wanted to be like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis. John Lennon had to learn to play guitar, and after he met Paul McCartney, the two were determined to make music together... George Harrison came in on guitar, and by 1960, they were playing shows as a rock n' roll band in bars and clubs. Paul McCartney switched to bass, and then drummer Ringo Starr joined in 1962... Starr said The Beatles were the best rock n' roll band in the scene even before he came in. The record industry in 1962 thought The Beatles were crap, but producer George Martin took a chance on them. In 1963, The Beatles released their first album after their early singles in 1962... they started touring the UK and quickly became a British sensation. They were also 4 good-looking lads and the girls went wild for them when they played shows. After a year of touring Europe and becoming the #1 band there, they finally scored a #1 single in America - 'I want to hold your hand' in late 1963. Beatlemania took over the USA in early 1964 when the Beatles came to America for the first time. That year, they had the top 5 singles... a movie and were a huge draw on TV and in concert. Their records sold millions of copies worldwide. However, by 1965, The Beatles were so huge that they could not appear in public without chaos erupting... the crowds got so loud at their concerts that they couldn't hear themselves play. Frustrated by their public situation, The Beatles announced in 1966 that they were done touring. They wanted to focus on writing and recording new music from that point on. Beatles records from 1967 got more experimental and musically explored instrumentations, various styles and visual promotion... Their records sold even more, despite them not touring... they used session players and strings on their records. But internal differences led to friction between the 4 members by 1968... After recording the 1969 album 'Abbey Road', John Lennon announced he was leaving the band... In 1970, Paul McCartney sued the Beatles to terminate the band's contracts and also to account for all their finances after Paul had suspected that their manager was stealing from them. All 4 members - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Ringo Starr went solo in the 70's... Sadly, John Lennon was shot & killed in late 1980 by a deranged fan... George Harrison passed away in 2001 from cancer. The Beatles' records actually sold more copies after their breakup than during their career.

It spreads to all modern music. Besides the music itself.. their recording techniques have influenced every form of music. They were the first to dub in other sounds, lay multiple tracks, play speed up and slow down tracks, plays sounds in reverse.. heck.. half the recording and studio techniques used even in modern hip hop can be directly traced to the Beatles. When it debuted.. no one had EVER heard anything like Sgt.pepper. it could very well be the single most influential album in music history. And their diversity as musicians was amazing. Between them they could play 25 instruments. And they came up the hard way.. before breaking huge in the states.. they played the toughest dive bars in Germany for a year. Places where guys would literally throw beer bottles at the stage like road house.

Revolution is a great song to start your Beatles adventure with. They created a ton of music over a decade that spanned so many forms. They wrote all their own music. They were all gifted musicians who got their start by listening to and playing blues inspired music in the 50s that was underground here in clubs in the US and only in black communities but not on the radio. Many black R&B musicians had made it popular overseas. In Europe R&B was all the rage. Elvis sort of mainstreamed it here in the US but it was the British Invasion of the 60s when tons of white boys from England came here with their bands that really launched rock snd roll here in the US to the mainstream market. The Beatles really struck a chord here that lasted a long time snd inspired so many young people to embrace rock and roll as their music. Two of those four are still alive, Paul McCartney snd Ringo Starr. John Lennon was killed by a crazed fan. George Harrison died of lung cancer cuz everyone smoked back then. Of the four, I think George Harrison wrote some of the most beautiful of the Beatles songs such as While My Guitar Gently Weeps. John Lennon write the most insightful and introspective songs like Imagine. McCartney wrote a ton of their love songs like Michelle. Ringo wrote some of the most pop and quirky songs like Octopuses Garden. The Help and the Rubber Sole albums have some of I think their best music. They had some many hits that it took two double albums to cover them.

And HOW they changed the world! Bless their sweet souls! You just opened up an incredible can of happiness!

The Beatles are hard to pin down They did everything well and covered a million topics.

[@jashn]

Hey Jude, Across the Universe, I am the Walrus, Helter Skelter, the Beatles have countless hits and they all have different sounds and vibes from each other.

[@dianekelly1706]

The Beatles will live on into the future like Beethoven and Mozart is still listened to today.

[@ire1398]

My mother always talks about “her” Beatles versus my uncle’s. He is four years younger than Mom. If you look at their work in chronological order you will see what that means. Their last album - The White Album - is amazing, but it’s really clear that they are no longer a group - just four individuals who are moving in four different directions.

[@ire1398]

@tomiev thank you, I didn’t catch that. I’m still talking about the white album but you’re right - it’s not their last.

[@dawnmccauley6005]

Beatles were big on love, peace and equally amongst all races. Lennon had close relationships with the Black Panthers. They believed in love and fought discrimination. What they were pushing for was really beautiful... specially during a time when human rights was life and death. Watch some documentaries, read about them. The did a lot in waking people up to a new reality and I will love each and everyone of them for it. They were inspiring. Peace and love to you all

[@clarenancy77]

Fun Fact: The Beatle refused to play in a venue that would segregate blacks from the white audience.

[@jaytravtulsa1]

@@clarenancy77In Memphis I believe.

[@waltlock8805]

The Beatles changed a lot over time. Their early music is very different from the later music. It's all awesome, and they all went on to keep making great music individually.

[@icord50]

Their “White Album” is a masterpiece…….a must listen to.

[@ptobill]

BEST BAND IN THE WORLD EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

[@Busyhipmom1]

My first two albums were Elvis and The Beatles! My grandfather bought them for me for my birthday with a record player. So glad to see you expanding and learning all the legends!!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

They were everything! And are everything! The way that they changed through their journey is amazing! Yes they did expand their minds. The person that said they weren't good, hasn't really listened to their music. Their early stuff is way different than the later stuff. Seriously. Come together is really good!!

[@aliciasavage6801]

You have to listen to more then one song because they have so many different sounds - there is a reason they are the biggest group ever! I recommend: I am the Walrus, Let it Be, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Hey Jude, Twist N Shout, Blackbird, A Day in the Life, Don't Let Me Down, Come Together, Helier Skelter, and Across the Universe.

[@FreeEnergy137]

The Beatles were revolutionary to the pop music culture. They went through many phases with their music over the decades.

[@foofghtr]

They’ve sold 600 million records world wide. I think that paints the picture. If you didn’t know the bass player on the left in the video that’s Paul McCartney.

[@wendelynanderson9517]

I was born just as they were starting out. I pretty much grew up with them. They were a huge influence both culturally and musically. Then I was a junior in college in Boston when Lennon was killed. There were candlelight vigils in towns & cities across the US & the UK.

[@nisar6339]

I can’t believe this is the first time you’ve heard The Beatles. Their music is Everywhere and has been for 50 years. I grew up with it. I’m in my 60’s.

[@GlendaSmith-c9e]

"I grew up with it. I’m in my 60’s." ME TOO! Greatest Rock band of all time.

[@willfromyadkinville]

"don't let me down" live version on the roof top will make you a believer! pure magic!

[@onenationunderground2360]

Most influential band in history. Period.

[@sfviris5582]

WOW!!! So glad you found them. They did everything to influence rock ‘n roll-way back when. ❤️

[@Rosbergen80]

Your gonna be ALLRIGHT 🌞

[@waywatcher9779]

This recording is a discredit to how good they are.

[@cherylbrooks7005]

I think it's SO cool that KZbin is introducing you guys to different music just like radio introduced all American to Blues in the 1930s & 40s. All these rock & rollers came from those guys. Viva Robert Johnson & Muddy Waters!!

[@charlesdavis7461]

They are one of the few groups that didn't put trash in their albums, all great songs.

[@jim7831]

You can't go wrong with The Beatles. They're so universal and revered that its always struck me as a miracle they were able to do what they did for 10 years. Another essential, in my opinion would be Bob Dylan. An artist at least two of The Beatles worshipped at one time.

[@freebirdtony]

The studio version is a masterpiece. Please give it a listen.

[@jacqueline4514]

Yes! The Beatles have so many different sounds; you are going to have to listen to a LOT of Beatles songs to get the evolution of their sound, and then you've got their solo music! They are musical geniuses!

[@ivanjulian2532]

If one song can sum up The Beatles best of all? Dear Prudence is that song, in my opinion.

[@St.ace.y]

Love this. Love you guys . ❤ You should check out "Oh! Darling." It's all groove. Or You should also listen to "Something". Often considered one of the best love songs ever written. Back to sharing all your vids. 😂

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

The Beatles are one of the greatest bands in history. In the short time they were together they wrote more varied music on every album that has not yet been topped. They, and George Martin (their producer) made advancements in recording that lasted for decades.

[@BillColeExperience]

Strawberry Fields my favorite. The Beatles have a very stylistcally diverse catelogue. You have to listen to all their work.

[@kimberly3131]

Hey guys! Enjoying watching your first listen to my favorite group. Suggest that you try listening to all of their albums, starting with their first thru the final one. After that, check out the music they put out after the Beatles separated. It might take you a few songs to get used to and appreciate their style, especially on the earliest stuff. But you will hear how likeable and distinct even the early songs were. Paul and John wrote and sang lead on a lot of the songs. George also wrote and sang some amazing songs. Ringo was their drummer. Not only did he do some amazing drum work thru all the various songs, but he also sang lead on a few. They worked with a producer, named George Martin who helped them figure out how to pull all their musical together. It's hard to express how amazing their combined talent grew. Their combined experience in the band grew them into talented individual artists who put out some great material on their own. Hope you decide to take the journey. I'm sure you'll become fans and I look forward to sharing your reactions.

[@methampheminist]

Glad you guys are considering reacting to other Beatles music! Some Beatles hits you’s should check out are “A Day In The Life”, “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Hey Jude” :)

[@lorrainetorres1430]

This is talent!!! Real raw music without all this other stuff that music these days use. Now adays anyone can become a singer. There is A LOT of Beatle music you all need to listen to. I love my era of music. I was born in the 60's & proud of it!! Good to see you youngins experiencing the great sound of real music!!

[@ednammansfield8553]

I was born in the late 1940's and I grew up with the Beatles from the very start of their career. The 1960's was really an incredible time for British groups and singers. The Beatles were the forefront for the British invasion of popular music in the USA and across the world. More and more young people of today are discovering the Beatles now and what they achieved.

[@SharonMartinez-px2ts]

They are the greatest band period. They changed music. You can go from emotion, to psychedelic to every and any other sound under the sun

[@ninawest8]

One song is not like other...Can't wait to see you discover their greatness. They have completely different sounds and feeling in every song.
