A community portal about The Beatles' influence on popular culture with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Beatles' influence on rock music and popular culture was—and remains—immense.

If you are under age 50 or over 60, it is highly likely that you probably either underrate the Fab Four or minimize their impact on music and men's styles. Why? The reason is because if you are under 50, you were too young to experience the insanity of Beatlemania. It really was historical.

It can reasonably be argued that Sir Paul McCartney has had the best career of any of the Beatles. Since the group's fabled breakup w-a-a-y back in 1970, he has been the most prolific of all the ex-Beatles and has had the most success as a touring artist, first as the front man for Wings, then, later, as a solo artist.
