The
Beatles, British rock music group, which revolutionized
popular music around the world in the 1960s with their stimulating song-writing
and vibrant performances. Although they played together barely ten years, the
Beatles have been recognized by many critics and social historians as the most
popular and influential music group of the 20th century.
More than just the leaders
of a movement in rock music known as the British Invasion (see Rock
Music: The 1960s), the Beatles were the main force behind changing the concept
of popular music stars from simple entertainers to social and spiritual gurus.
While the
group remained hugely popular throughout the decade, the Beatles gradually
transformed from fresh-faced boys singing songs about love into complex young
men writing about a world full of political and social upheaval. For many
critics and music fans the group reflected the turmoil and change that gripped
society during the 1960s.
