When you talk about classic rock, surely you will be associated with the Beatles. The Beatles is one of the best and biggest pop rock bands that the world produced. John Lennon, James Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr) were born during the 1940s in Liverpool, England. During the post war period, Liverpool was a dirty depressed town and money was rarely to meet. Two decades later, these four men would shock the world with their musical breakthrough. Their music contribution is beyond question. Beatlemania, the fanatic fan of beatles, are spread in entire world, even until today. One their best masterpieces, yesterday, is considered as one of the best classic rock song ever produced. It was McCartney’s masterpiece that he recorded on June 14, 1965.
This is probably Paul’s most successful song, as Yesterday has been recorded more than 2500 times by other artists over the years, being the most recorded song in music history! The tune for Yesterday came to him during the night. As he awoke, he went straight to the piano and played the complete tune. So easy this was, Paul feared that the tune must be from another song or belonged to another. No one had heard it before and consequently, yesterday was born. When Yesterday was initially released, it received some critics and controversies from the press, when they learned that it was a purely McCartney recording, without the other three Beatles’, yet released under the name of The Beatles. People feared at the time that this was McCartney’s break into a solo career, but this was not true, not at least for another five years. Yesterday was still be part of the Beatles’s history instead of merely McCartney’s masterpiece.

This is the first of a series of articles which will be trying to delve a little deeper into the life and times of the Beatles.
We will be looking at their history, their time in Hamburg, their time at the Cavern Club, their time in America, and the time they spent in the Studio, together with other fascinating little known facts that have come to light over the years.
Without doubt the Beatles are an iconic group, a one off, and although it is getting on for 40 years now since they broke up, their fame and influence is still as strong now as it was back in the 1960’s and early 70’s.
I grew up during the Beatles era, and everywhere that I have travelled around the world they are known, and loved. I remember being in a small nightclub in Thailand where there was a Chinese Beatles tribute band playing, and although I personally did not appreciate the sound that they produced, particularly the singing, they were immensely popular with the locals.
On another occasion I was on holiday in Peru, and half way up a mountain I came across a bunch of Peruvians playing their type of music, on pipes, but the song they were playing was Love Me Do.
So, who were The Beatles?
Well let me begin by telling you the basics, something which many of you reading this will know, but to many of our younger readers this basic information may be something which they have never got a handle on.
The Beatles were a pop group ( as they were called in those days) and they came from a city in the north of England known as Liverpool.
The group consisted of John Lennon who played rhythm guitar and vocals, Paul McCartney who played bass guitar and vocals, George Harrison who played lead guitar and vocals, and Ringo Starr who played drums and vocals.
Two other names were former members – Pete Best, drums, and Stuart Sutcliffe, bass.
I think if you had asked The Beatles what was their style of music in the early days they would probably have told you that they were strongly influenced by rock and roll, and skiffle. Later on this style did change quite a bit, but that was their early influence.
Now it is true to say that not only were they influenced by many earlier groups and styles of music, but they were quite an influence on many groups that came after them.
Their music, the clothes they wore, the things they did and said, all had an enormous influence on the young people of the day, 1n the 1960’s.
When eventually the group broke up in 1970, John, Paul, George and Ringo all pursued their own solo careers, and we will be looking at those careers in more details in forthcoming articles.

Unfortunately, I found that many people think that the Beatles as the group that sings songs like "She Loves You" & "Can not Buy Me Love." While these simple early tunes are great and have lasted the test of time. It's The Beatles more artistic, experimental songs that I feel are their true heritage. They are songs that inspire are always thinking of music artists for nearly 40 years after they last recorded together.
These seven songs of the Beatles were at their most experimental. Not all these songs are among their best (although some certainly are), but they are all a valuable part of the Beatles catalog back to me.
# 1 "What's The New Mary Jane"
This song is only included John Lennon, George Harrison and John Lennon soon be the wife Yoko Ono. He has not actually been released as The Beatles Anthology 3. It was for The Beatles' incredible 1968 double album called The White Album (it was actually self titled.) It was not included due to time constraints.
The song includes a piano part simple, bizarre lyrics, and crazy sound effects. The last 4 minutes of the song is basically just Spacey sound effects. This is certainly one of those songs that is quite difficult to describe with words. This is definitely a real trip.
# 2 "Revolution # 9"
8 minutes This track was included on the White Album and it has become perhaps the title of the Beatles most infamous. Many hate. Some love it. Count me among those he loves. Do not get me wrong, I do not listen to whenever I put the album on, not what kind of track. But when I listen, I always find fascinating.
# 3 "Tomorrow Never Knows"
Incredibly the last track on Revolver, "Tomorrow Never Knows" was actually the first song recorded for the album. I think it's incredible that song, even after 42 years still sounds like the future. With the words of the book The Psychedelic Experience (which was based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead), the guitars back, insane loops soundtracks, it was a song that struck thousands of years removed from the MOP hits in just 2 years earlier.
# 4 "Wild Honey Pie"
It is a strange song that was entirely sung and played by Paul McCartney. It is simply the refrain "Honey Pie" and some weird guitar resonance.
# 5 "I Am The Walrus"
Perhaps the most perfect songs of the Beatles psychedelic weird. It is endlessly listenable as there are so many layers that you can literally hear something they have never heard before on their 1000th listen.
This was the Beatles at the height of the studio "as an" instrument of phase and it is always inspiring countless musicians experimental rock to date. Forget "I Want To Hold Your Hand," It's all about "I Am The Walrus".
# 6 "Strawberry Fields Forever"
If "Strawberry Fields Forever" is not as bizarre as "I Am The Walrus", it is probably even more perfect. It's a really brilliant song and a bit like "I Am The Walrus" is an incredible example of the studio "as an instrument" aesthetic that the Beatles developed in 1967.
# 7 "Within You Without You"
I think this song is often not the case. And yes, it's very experimental. A "pop" song with a very instrumental on the Indians? Of course there was "Love You To" & "The Inner Light" before, but it took it to the next level. I think it's a brilliant song that takes on Sgt. Pepper perfectly. It is a journey through some weird carnival and you have to make a stopover in India while you are there, of course.

Judging by "All Things Must Pass" George had clearly provided a whole batch of songs for some time. And some of these songs were certainly of a quality high enough to be on the albums of those Beatles.
George had been so mild-mannered, he could have made a difference – which could delay the split? Or is the relationship between John Paul and badly frayed by this point?

With The Beatles may be the least known and least talked about of all Beatles albums (if not Beatles For Sale.) It was their second album released after me Please Please so he has no privilege to be their first album. It was not the distinction of being their first truly great album formed (which was their 3rd album A Hard Night's Day.) But this does not mean that this is not a good album, it contains some classic Beatles.
It was ranked number 420 on the list of Rolling Stone more than 500 albums of all time released in 2003. The album was released in England in 1963 but was not officially released in the United States until 1987 as the first Beatles album in the U.S. have been cut paste job. It was not until Revolver album is even released in the States was published in Great Britain.
The album starts off "It Will not Be Long" which, while does not rank among the greatest songs of the Beatles is a pleasant pop song early.
The second song is "All I've Got To Do", which has a nice bluesy sound to it, including the title tune. Among The Beatles first songs most forgotten, is a keeper.
The third song is by far the most famous song on the album, "All My Loving." It was the opening song for the first performance of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan performance.
The fourth song is "Do not Bother Me" which was started songwriting of George Harrison.
The fifth song is called "Little Child". The first five tracks are all original Beatles.
The sixth song is "Till There Was You", which is a cover. It is a very sweet song that Paul McCartney in this music-hall "mode.
Next is "Please Mr. Postman" which is another cover. This was the first Motown song to reach # 1 when it hit the top spot for The Marvelettes at the end of 1961.
The eighth song (and the first of the second side of the album) is the classic Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." It was a success for Berry in 1956 and has been ranked as one of the 100 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stone. The song George Harrison both as the lead singer, and of course as a guitarist best results of his impersonation Chuck Berry.
Ninth is the song "Hold Me Tight" is an original Beatles break the line 3 covers the right. The song was originally recorded for me Please Please, but has been left. He was re-recorded for the Beatles.
The 10th song "You Really Got A Hold On Me" which was a cover by Smokey Robinson. It was a unique success in 1962 the Miracles (featuring Robinson) and is another Motown song.
11 is the song "I Want to Be Your Man", which written by Lennon & McCartney for their friends the Rolling Stones. The Stones version was released first. The Beatles version is composed Ringo Starr on vocals.
The 12th song "Devil in Her Heart", which is a cover sung by George Harrison.
The song 13 is "not again", which is the last original Beatles on the album. It was written and sung by John Lennon (of course it was credited to Lennon / McCartney as all the songs written by Lennon / McCartney or were.)
The 14th and final song is "Money", another cover of a song by a black artist (the 5th of the album.) It was a unique achievement for 1959 Barrett Strong.
Even With The Beatles is certainly not one of the best albums of the Beatles, it's a fun listen if you're interested in their earlier material.

I am a big fan of the Beatles and wrote many articles about how The Beatles are great. I have written about their greatest albums (The White Album, Revolver, Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper, etc.) but today I decided to do something a little different. What about The Beatles' worst album! I decided to consider only their official UK studio albums to make it more difficult (or I could choose a compilation made by the terrible record company at one time or another).
# 1 Yellow Submarine
The Yellow Submarine album contained only six songs of the Beatles true Instrumentals (the rest was rather boring created by their producer George Martin.) And these two songs ( "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love") had already been released. This means that there were only four new songs on the album.
Two of these were songs by George Harrison ( "It's All Too Much" and "Only A Northern Song.") One was by Paul McCartney ( "All Together Now") and one by John Lennon ( " ; Hey Bulldog. ") I actually think" Hey Bulldog "and" It's All Too Much "to rescue the album from being a total loss of time. These are two of the coolest and least known songs of the Beatles. "All Together Now" and "Only A Northern Song" is a bit subpar standards Beatles, I suppose, but I like them.
Usually I classify this album so low because he has so little new to him, not that new hardware is not good (even if it is not as great as it was normally.) What is cool is that even with the worst Beatles album there were gems that deserve to be listened to (at least before it reaches those who are instrumental a bit of a snooze fest.)
# 2 With The Beatles
The second Beatles album lacks the energy and punch of their first album, Please Me Please. It is much too heavy on the covers (and for the most part, the blankets are not particularly well done) and new songs are not particularly fantastic (except for "All My Loving" of course.) That said, I 'still love the album pretty well. I like their cover of "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson. This album is actually ranked # 420 on the magazine Rolling Stone's 500 best albums of all time, which is either proof of the greatness The Beatles were even when they were not so important or evidence that may may be they are a bit overrated.
# 3 Please Please Me
The first Beatles album was among the worst in my opinion. Historically, it is obviously very important and I'm listening to it for these reasons. It also includes a start of some great songs like "Please Please Me" and "I Saw Her Standing There" with one of their greatest covers "Twist & Shout".
But Rolling Stone this class as the best album of all time as the 39th and big fan of the Beatles as I am, I must say that is ridiculous. They rank above actually Night A Hard Day's? They rank above Let it Be? They rank above Magical Mystery Tour? And your help!? I'm not really a serious manner. I'd love listening instead to one of these albums as I Please Please. Yes, it was their first album and yes it has an energy "certain" to him as 10 of the 14 songs were recorded in one day (the other 4 had already been released on singles), but it's just not very good.
Dishonorable mention: Beatles For Sale. You probably expect to see Beatles For Sale on this list because it is probably the most maligned on this side of the Beatles album Yellow Submarine and if I had a 4th slot, I would have understood there. But I find most pleasing to hear that one of these three albums. Songs like "I'll Follow The Sun", "I" m A Loser, "&" Every Little Thing "certainly do makeup for me and for the covers (I do not want about 75 % of early Beatles cover songs.)

The Beatles were formed in Liverpool, England in 1958 and became the most influential and successful rock band of the 20th century. The Beatles were – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr along with their manager Brian Epstein who the band considered as the 5th Beatle.
The Beatles records sold over a billion units before their music was transferred on to digital format like CD. The Beatles released their first single on October 5, 1962 (Love Me Do/ P.S. I Love You)
The Beatles then released the single “Please Please Me/ Ask Me Why” on Jan 11. 1963. The first two Beatles records/albums (”Please Please Me” released Mar. 22, 1963 and “With The Beatles” released Nov 22, 1963) were sold in England and sold very well. In America, the first album released was called “Introducing The Beatles” which came out on July 22, 1963. The Beatles didn’t really make an impact in the U.S. until the second U.S. album – “Meet The Beatles” was released January 20, 1964. The first song on this album hit number 1 just after the album’s release, and just days from the band flying to the US for a performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
In the U.S. Beatles records were slightly altered from the United Kingdom versions, Capitol records (USA) removed a number of songs from the original album versions so as to release extra albums (Something New, Yesterday…And Today, Hey Jude for example) thereby cashing in on the bands popularity within the USA.
In 1964, the Beatles records sold a then world record (9 singles and 6 LPs), representing U.S. sales of over 25 million.
“I Want To Hold Your Hand” sold almost 5 million records in the US by 1968, making it the best selling single of the 1960’s (from a Capitol Records Press Release, Sept, 9, 1968).
By August 1964, The Beatles records had sold approximately 80 million globally *Variety 235, August 12, 1964).
“Rubber Soul” sold 1.2 million copies in the U.S. during the first 9 days of its release (Billboard article, January 1, 1966).
By May 1967, the Beatles’ global gross stood at $98 million (Variety 246, May 19, 1967).
The “Hey Jude” single had sold over 3 million copies in America in its first 2 months of release, and 3.7 million by mid-January 1969. It eventually sold over 4 million copies and was the 4th best-selling single of the 1960s (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 32).
Although it carried a list price of $11.79, their double album The Beatles sold 1.1 million units during its first 2 weeks on sale; a record for any double album at that point in time (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 102).
“Abbey Road” sold over 3 million copies in the US in a little over a month, making it one of the best-selling Albums of the 1960s despite having been on sale for only the last three months of the decade (Spizer, Bruce, 2003: The Beatles on Apple Records, p. 164).
The Beatles records had topped worldwide sales of 300 million units by 1969, this feat was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
The “Let It Be” album sold 3.2 million copies in 13 days representing a gross retail value of nearly $26 million (Billboard article, June 6, 1970).
By October 1972, the Beatles records worldwide had sales of 545 million units, a world record (Billboard 84, October 21, 1972).
