The Beatles had a cultural impact which shows no signs of diminishing.
They started performing in the late ‘50s and when Ringo Starr joined in 1962, Paul McCartney said the rest of them looked at each other and knew he made the band.
Beatlemania started in earnest in 1963 and the band evolved phenomenally after that. They released any number of classics. Some were covers like Twist and Shout, Roll Over Beethoven and Act Naturally but most were their own compositions. Songs like Hard Day’s Night, Back In The USSR, Michelle, Yesterday and Here Comes The Sun still have an element of freshness and creativity that suggests they’ll be around for decades to come.
