For many people, the Fab Four band from Liverpool is the greatest ever. This is, naturally, a subjective opinion, but there are pretty solid arguments that support this claim. They were not only good musicians, but the songs they performed were written by the members of the band. All of them continued to have careers outside of the band, and they were successful. They went through phases and evolved in the process. This band still holds the record for the song with the highest number of covers.
Key Takeaways:
- The Beatles demonstrated the ability to not only write their own music, but to evolve their sound over time as the culture changed.
- On an objective level the Beatles posses more number one singles than any other group, held the top five positions at one point, and created the most recorded song of all time.
- Behind the music, the Beatles had a legendary crew of producers, engineers, and managers like George Martin and Brian Epstein.
