they saved the world from boredom."
--George Harrison

The Beatles phenomenon is an ongoing learning experience. There are so many facets to the biography of The Beatles, and Beatles-history.net is here to help guide you through each and every album along with all the significant events that occurred year by year.

There's no denying that the Beatles changed the music industry profoundly. From the way album covers appeared, to writing their own songs, to innovative recording techniques, the Beatles led the way to change what rock bands could do.

In terms of recording, the Beatles released 13 original albums in ONLY 8 years. Never before or since has any rock band come close to that quantity and quality of output. For example, U2, one of the most popular bands of the day, has released 11 original albums in 24 years.

But The Beatles were not just a band "who made it very, very big" as John Lennon said.

The Beatles became an international phenomenon. While the band was officially together from 1962 to 1970, the Beatles obviously were a huge success, but no one realized what a rarity they really were. Since the rock and roll era was relatively new at the time, people were waiting for the "next" Beatles to arrive.

But nobody came.

The difference between a great band and a musical phenomenon is that a great band produces great music, but a phenomenon goes further to influence a multitude of cultural outlets such as art, photography, literature, fashion, politics and belief systems.

As a result, the Beatles' phenomenon has kept growing and growing ever since the group disbanded in 1970.

The group's lasting influence in society is evident in many ways from the use of Beatle phrases and lyrics in everyday life to modern-day hairstyles. No musical act can trace more cultural influences to the present than the four lads from Liverpool.

The more time that passes, the bigger the legacy grows.

Critic Paul Evans states about the Beatles: "Theirs is the final, great consensus in popular music, not liking them is as perverse as not liking the sun."

I invite you to explore every page on the Beatles-History.net site.
