    The Beatles are known, respectively, as the fathers of modern pop music. After their first #1 hit “Please Please Me” was released in 1963 the Beatles were set in motion to become one of the most influential groups of musicians to ever rock our world.

  • The First American Invasion: The Beatles Takeover

    1532 Words  | 4 Pages

    America’s defenses were breached and hysteria gripped the nation. The invasion had begun. However, the sounds of sirens did not fill the streets to warn against nuclear attacks, nor were there warnings to stay indoors. Instead the youth of America rushed into the streets of New York and welcomed the invaders with loud screams and insane fanaticism. The invaders were The Beatles and the members were Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. One of the biggest and influential bands to change the face of music as we know it took the world by storm by introducing new sound, new fashion, and a new way of approaching music. The Beatles have etched a name for themselves and stand in history as one of the greatest bands of all time. However there is a reason why they are regarded so highly and have become the big name that they are today. I never once listened to The Beatles and I didn’t get into music until I was twelve years old, yet at the age of nine I knew who they were. The Beatles are almost a household name in western cultures and that is because of the profound effect they brought upon society at the time. With help from their musical influences, experiences, and being present at the right place at the right time, The Beatles ascended into fame. It is because of factors like their influences, their experiences as a band, their management, and their arrival at the right time that made their takeover that much more successful and influential.

    This decision changed the face of music forever. The Beatles made documentaries and videos because they weren’t touring and doing interviews anymore. They could explain the music that way, leaving more time to spend in the studio. It was necessary to stop touring for them to continue recording great music. If they hadn’t made that decision, they would have never reached their full creative potential. The Beatles still cared about their fans, so they started making films and created the visual album in Sgt. Pepper’s Band of Lonely Hearts. “The cover shows the Beatles as bandsmen surrounded by effigies of several dozen historical figures, living and dead, including Karl Marx, Marilyn Monroe, W.C. Fields, Oscar Wilde, Marlon Brando, Bob Dylan, Mohandas K. Ghandi, Shirley Temple, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Albert Einstein”, (Crawford 492). In this album the band was creating music by another, imaginary band, outside of

Instead of following the already paved road, the Beatles insisted on creating their own pathway. On February 7th, 1964 they traveled to the United States. The Beatles had a persona to them in my opinion that made them mellow and loving people. The Beatles were exactly what American people needed after the assassination of their president John F.

    The Beatles were arguably one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed phenomena in popular music history. According to the former Rolling Stone associate editor Robert Greenfield, “In the form of popular music, no one will be more revolutionary, more creative, and more distinctive than the Beatles were” (Whitehead). It is evident that The Beatles have impacted—and continue to impact—society and politics all over the world, especially in the United States during the 1960s. In late 1962, they quickly gained popularity after releasing their first hit, “Love Me Do”, which enkindled the ‘Beatlemania’ frenzy (Charness). Their newfound acclaim allowed them to completely revolutionize the music industry, and with their portraits and album covers appearing everywhere, it wasn’t long before The Beatles revolutionized the fashion industry as well. By the late 1960s, the band had become so world-renowned that they were able to take their influential potential to a new level by inciting movements against societies’ leading issues and promoting recreational drug use and spiritualism.

    With over 175 weeks on the number one slot, this band has been the most famous and influential band ever. It all started as a quartet from England, dreaming a dream, a dream about music, and a dream about life. The year is 1960, and 4 young teenage boys are recording their first song “Love Me Do.” Little did they know how famous they would become. I’m talking of course about the famous band, the Quarrymen. Oh, you have never heard of them? You may know them better as “The Beatles”, a band composed of four members. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr made up this legendary quartet. What these four boys did not know, was that only a few measly years after their first single, that they would be starting riots. Concerts sold out, and thousands of people imitating their every move.

Although, in the mid-1960’s, there was a large dichotomy between the styles of music: manufactured bands such as The Archies and The Monkees and the revolutionary artistry such as Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.
