No other band has had the same influence in the world as the Beatles. Over eight years and with more than a dozen albums, four young men from Liverpool, England—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star changed popular music and culture forever.

People in the UK became crazy about the Beatles in late 1963. The phenomenon(现象) was called “Beatlemania” by the British press. The term referred to the young women seen screaming at the band's concerts. Beatlemania came to North America in early 1964, and the band's popularity spread across much of the world.

Within five years, the Beatles' music changed greatly from their simple early hits like She Lo v es You and I w ant to Hold Your Hand.

The band wrote their own songs, explored new ways to create music and strived(奋斗) for high quality in every album they put out.

However, with their popularity came criticism. The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture, which celebrated freedom from traditional family roles.

In 1970, Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the Beatles. And the group quietly came to an end.

In the 70s, fans hoped for a reunion, but the group decided to follow their own careers with different degrees of success. Fans lost hope with a tragedy; John Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980.
