well allow me to elaborate why they are so great and important to modern day music and why they are the greatest band ever

* The Beatles are the best-selling musical group of all time, estimated by EMI to have over one billion discs and tapes sold worldwide.
* The Beatles have notched up the most multi-platinum selling albums for any artist or musical group (thirteen in the U.S. alone).
* The Beatles have had more number one singles than any other musical group (23 in Australia, 23 in The Netherlands, 22 in Canada, 21 in Norway, 20 in the U.S., and 18 in Sweden). Ironically, the Beatles could easily have had even more number ones, because they were often competing with their own singles. For example, the Beatles' "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" were released as a "double A"-sided single, which caused sales and airplay to be divided between the two songs instead of being counted collectively. Even so, they reached number two with the singles.
* The Beatles have had more number one albums than any other group (19 in the U.S. and 15 in the United Kingdom).
* The Beatles spent the highest number of weeks at number one in the albums chart (174 in the UK and 132 in the U.S.).
* The most successful first week of sales for a double album (The Beatles Anthology Volume 1, which sold 855,473 copies in the U.S. from 21 November to 28 November 1995).
* In terms of charting positions, Lennon and McCartney are the most successful songwriters in history, with 32 number one singles in the U.S. for McCartney, and 26 for Lennon (23 of which were written together). Lennon was responsible for 29 Number One singles in the UK, and McCartney was responsible for 28 (25 of which were written together).
* During the week of 4 April 1964, The Beatles held the top five positions on the Billboard singles chart. No one had ever done anything like this before, and it is doubtful that the conditions will ever exist for anyone to do it again. The songs were "Can't Buy Me Love", "Twist and Shout", "She Loves You", "I Want to Hold Your Hand", and "Please Please Me".
The next week, 11 April 1964, the Beatles held fourteen positions on the Billboard Hot 100. Before the Beatles, the highest number of concurrent singles by one artist on the Hot 100 was nine (by Elvis Presley, 19 December 1956).
* The Beatles are the only artist to have 'back-to-back-to-back' number one singles on Billboard's Hot 100. Boyz II Men and Elvis Presley have succeeded themselves on the chart, but the Beatles are the only artist to 'three-peat'.
* The Beatles' "Yesterday" is the most covered song in history, appearing in the Guinness Book of Records with over three thousand recorded versions.
* The Beatles even had their own stamp commissioned, featuring a tribute to Yellow Submarine.The Beatles had the fastest selling single of all time with "I Want To Hold Your Hand". The song sold 250,000 units within three days in the U.S., one million in 2 weeks. (Additionally, it sold 10,000 copies per hour in New York City alone for the first 20 days.)
* The Beatles have the fastest selling CD of all time with 1. It sold over 13 million copies in four weeks.
* The largest number of advance orders for a single, at 2.1 million copies in the U.S. for "Can't Buy Me Love" (it sold 940,225 copies on its first day of release in the U.S. alone).
* Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the best selling album of all time in the UK (over 4.5 million copies sold).
* With their performance at Shea Stadium in 1965, The Beatles set new world records for concert attendance (55,600+) and revenue.
* The Beatles broke television ratings records in the U.S. with their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
* On 12 June 1965, the Beatles were made Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the Queen.
* On 30 June 1966, the Beatles became the first musical group to perform at the Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo. They performed five times in three days gathering audiences of about 10,000 per performance.
* The Beatles appear five times in the top 100 best-selling singles in the UK. No other group appears more than twice.

still doesnt do it for me

all of that just means they wur popular

i KNOW they wur popular lol, EVERYONE at that time, like i said, DIED FOR THEM

that does not show me wut they did for music lol, that just shows me once again, they were a very very very popular band

i think they cant use there instruments right

[dandamanyo22]

who cares they were 30 years ago it was crap then and let me tell you it still hasent changed, Honestly anyone who wasn't from that generation shouldn't be listening to it, let alone saying its the greatest.

Do you honestly think that any band can stay THAT good for THAT long without having influence and skill?

[Kombat Frank]

and when i read the wiki link

he just says they endorsed GOOD musicians lol

hendrix blew any of them out of the water alone


i think im just looking at skill here, the beatles, IMO were not that skilled

they just made the right sound, at the right time


and as for fashion, they like i said, were just following the trend, and everyone was looking at them, sooo everyone followed

they didnt actually come up with it


i guess they came up with music videos, and got that whole jazz into a big picture, but big deal, nobody really cares about music videos anyway, they are just there to keep your attention away from wut your supposed to be paying attention to, THE MUSIC


all i see in there achievments are just beacause of how popular they are

and i dont care how popular they are, because i dont care wut other people think, i go by my own opinoins, thoughts, point of views, etc.


if the beetles did that, then maybe they would have actually created a new culture/style

you make no sense at all

[Kombat Frank]

i dont want people to beat me up on this

im not saying your a retard for liking the beatles

plz, support whoever you want, if you feel like the beatles were the greatest band of all time, or watever, then thats fine, im not gona look down at you for it

thumbs up to anyone who supports something they truely believe in

im just posting my opinion on this , and im actually very very open to learn

but soo far i have not seen what i need to see to change my mind about them

all i see is , how popular they are, and how everyone loved them

but i dont see WHY they loved them


look, in the 50s ..shit was soo boring, life was tragic and dull, and just plain black and white


i think the beatles popped up with this new sound, and everyone freaked out

OMFG BBQ THIS MUSIC IS GREAT, but compare it to people who have been playing that music already, its nothing

they just had the fanbase, i duno why they did, but they did

i guess they influenced people to become musicians, because of there success

like biggie and pac
