The Beatles

The complete name of the group is The Beatles. They played rock music. The band was formed in Liverpool, England in 1960. During their career the band was formed principally by John Lennon (guitar, voice), Paul McCartney (bass, voice), George Harrison (guitar, voice) and Ringo Starr (drum, voice) but at first other two members participated too: Pete Best in the drums and Stuart Sutcliffe in the bass. The first one was dismissed by the group in 1962 and replaced by Ringo, and the second one, sometimes called “The Fifth Beatle”, died of a brain haemorrage in 1962. From the beginning they played rock with the alternative psychodelic rock. They were one of the most famous bands in their times because of the lyrics and themes in their songs. It also helped their type of clothes and their way to be. Their songs were expanded to all over the world and they sold millions of albums. Their most famous songs are “Let it be”, “Yesterday”, “ Help!”, “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” and “I want to hold your hand”, among others.
