The Beatles are inarguably the best band never mind rock band that did ever exist. Their music and legacy created by that music lives on and always will. I Grew up listening to the Beatles and as a kid in the early 2000's chances were that you were the only kid listening to The Beatles. The amount of musicians and bands that were influenced by The Beatles is countless. If you were to ask most of the rock stars alive today their major influences I would bet that most if not all of them would say without hesitation The Beatles! The sheer musical ability of the band was almost unbelievable and the Lennon-McCartney writing team is easily still the best the world has ever seen.
I am not claiming I know everything there is to know about the band or all rock bands in general although I do know quite a lot. To talk about the Beatles is like talking about the sea or space. The four man band from liverpool england surprised the world after arriving to america in the early 1960's and to their break up in 1970 they mad so much music and accomplished more than any other artist. Their history and musical library is vast and nearly endless, so instead of taking it from me I would strongly advise anyone that hasn't listened to them, has only heard a few hits on the radio or thinks they're overrated to get of your high horse and listen to an album or two and get back to me. I would suggest from their earlier albums Rubber Soul which is when they broke out of their poppy shell, and from their somewhat later music The Beatles (White Album). Those two albums are their two best in my eyes.
