About The Beatles
The most consequential pop group in history. Formed in Liverpool in 1960 around John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, the Beatles spent their seven-year recording career inventing the conventions modern pop still operates inside: the self-contained band, the album as artistic statement, studio production as compositional tool. Their break-up in 1970 ended the decade they had defined.
