THE BEATLES

ACTIVE FROM: 1960
MEMBERS:JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON AND RINGO STARR

THE BEATLES WERE AN ENGLISH ROCK BAND FORMED IN LIVERPOOL IN 1960. THEIR BEST-KNOWN LINEUP, CONSISTING OF JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON AND RINGO STARR, BECAME CONSIDERED BY MANY AS THE GREATEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL ACT OF THE ROCK AREA.
ROOTED IN SKIFFLE AND 1950S ROCK AND ROLL, THE BEATLES LATER UTILIZED SEVERAL GENRES, RANGING FROM POP BALLADS TO PSYCHEDELIC ROCK.

THEIR ENORMOUS POPULARITY FIRST EMERGED AS "BEATLEMANIA", BUT AS THEIR SONGWRITING GREW IN SOPHISTICATION, THEY CAME TO BE PERCEIVED BY FANS AND CULTURAL OBSERVERS AS AN EMBODIMENT OF THE IDEALS SHARED BY THE ERA'S SOCIOCULTURAL REVOLUTIONS.

AS THEY SAY TRUE LOVE NEVER FAILS OR STRANGERS CAN BE LOVERS BUT LOVERS CAN'T BE STRANGERS......
IN THIS WHOLE EVOLUTION OF LOVE, HERE WE CAN SEE THAT STRANGERS OR ENEMIES CAN STAR CROSSED LOVERS.

PEOPLE SAY SHAKESPEARE ONLY COPIED IT ON ANOTHER WRITER...
DO YOU THINK IT'S TRUE?
WELL,FOR ME NO, BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR SHAKESPEARE ROMEO AND JULIET CAN'T BE FAMOUS......
