The Beatles were an iconic English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960.

They are
widely regarded as the most influential band of all time, fundamentally impacting
popular music and 1960s counterculture.

Their best-known and classic lineup, which remained consistent from 1962 until their
breakup in 1970, consisted of:

John Lennon (vocals, rhythm guitar)


Paul McCartney (vocals, bass guitar)


George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals)


Ringo Starr (drums)

Before this final lineup, the band went through several changes. John Lennon's
previous group, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles. Early members included
Stuart Sutcliffe on bass (who left in 1961) and various drummers, most notably Pete
Best, before Ringo Starr joined in 1962.

The Beatles gained immense popularity through their performances in clubs in


Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany, honing their skills and developing their distinctive
sound. Their first hit was "Love Me Do" in 1962, and their appearance on British
television in 1963 sparked "Beatlemania," which then spread to the United States in
1964.

The band formally disbanded in 1970, with all four members going on to successful
solo careers. Their music continues to be popular and influential worldwide.
