The Beatles

No group did more to define what a rock band could be than The Beatles. Formed in Liverpool in 1960 and built on long nights in the clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg, the band of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr went from Beatlemania to the studio adventures of Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper in just a few years. They quit touring in 1966, kept stretching what a record could do, and split in 1970, after which all four found success as solo artists.
