successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular
music. The group's best-known lineup consisted
of John
Lennon (rhythm
guitar, vocals), Paul
McCartney (bass
guitar, vocals),George
Harrison (lead
guitar, vocals) and Ringo
Starr (drums,
vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock
and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads topsychedelic
rock, often incorporating classicaland other elements in innovative
ways. Their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as their songwriting grew
in sophistication, by the late 1960s they came to be perceived by
many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals
shared by the era's
sociocultural revolutions.
