A community portal about The Beatles with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Beatles were a highly influential English rock band from Liverpool, Merseyside, England. They are the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful popular music band in history. The innovative music and style of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr helped to define the 1960s, and they continue to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, their huge commercial success, their role in the history of popular music, and their contributions to popular culture. Although their initial musical style was rooted in the sounds of 1950s rock and roll, the group explored a great variety of genres, ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock.

Sean Lennon was a celebrity before he even started a recording career -- no, scratch that, he was a celebrity before he had even been born. As the son of legendary Beatle John Lennon and avant-garde musician Yoko Ono, the guy is obviously no stranger to the limelight. And this is probably why he didn't choose to go the route of mainstream pop like his half-brother Julian did. Instead he cleverly positioned himself between pop and experimental, earning positive critical reviews and securing for himself a modest place in the post-alternative scene. I was introduced to Sean's music in 1999 when a friend gave ...

As for the men: "You have to write ...

Jim Hill noted that they're...

Line 839:
The image captioned "Lennon, left, and the rest of The Beatles arriving in the US in 1964" should be removed, for two reasons: 1) Another image on the same page is a blow-up of this image; 2) The mention of the US and the inclusion of the 'arriving in the US' images is inappropriate for the Beatles, who were born and raised in...
