When most people hear the word Beatles, they automatically think of the bug, but what about the best boy band the Beatles? The Beatles are made up of four men: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Star and George Harrison. It is said that they were the best boy band of the sixties, but their influence goes beyond the sixties and continues into today's society. The four men weren't just a band; they became a family. They began working together as teenagers and worked together until a band member died or was replaced. Beatles fans weren't just teenage girls. They were people of all ages and genders. Without a doubt, the Beatles were the best boy band ever. How were the Beatles born? The Beatles were born when John Lennon and Paul McCartney met in July 1957. John's band, the Quarry Men, were playing at a party in the garden of St. Peter's Church. Paul passed by, with his guitar, and heard them playing. He started playing together with them. John said, “I almost thought to myself, he's as good as me.” He also looked like Elvis. I appreciated it." (John Lennon). From then on Paul, fifteen, and John, sixteen, began playing together. Paul later became a member of the Quarry Men. The other members of the Quarry Men were all Americans, but things had to change. John wanted an all-British boy band (The Beatle Anthology). Meanwhile, George Harrison, then fourteen, was playing guitar at the Liverpool Institute met on the bus and Paul asked George to check out one of their concerts. So, Paul arranged a meeting between John and George impr... middle of paper..., the Beatles accomplished things that no other band had ever done before. Even though they were only a band in the 60s and 70s, the music is still played throughout society today. Many will agree that The Beatles changed music forever and, above all, became a family. Without a doubt the Beatles were and still are the best band ever. Works CitedCarliss, Richard. "Come back." Time magazine. November 20, 1995: 104-108. Print.The Beatles anthology.
