The Beatles

The Beatles emerged in Liverpool, England, in 1960, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. After establishing themselves with direct, catchy pop songs, the band broadened its experiments on albums such as Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Abbey Road came out in 1969 and Let It Be in 1970. The group broke up that year.
