    The evolution of the group

    The group were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and


    popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s
    rock and roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop
    in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and
    Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock.

    As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the group


    revolutionised many aspects of the music industry
    The Influence of this band

    The band's earliest influences include Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Little Richard and
    Chuck Berry. During the Beatles' co-residency with Little Richard at the Star-Club in
    Hamburg, from April to May 1962, he advised them on the proper technique for
    performing his songs. Of Presley, Lennon said, "Nothing really affected me until I
    heard Elvis. If there hadn't been Elvis, there would not have been the Beatles."
    It’s genres...

    Originating as a skiffle group, the Beatles quickly embraced 1950s rock and roll and
    helped pioneer the Merseybeat genre, and their repertoire ultimately expanded to
    include a broad variety of pop music. Reflecting the range of styles they explored,
    Lennon said of Beatles for Sale, "You could call our new one a Beatles country-and-
    western LP", while Gould credits Rubber Soul as "the instrument by which legions of
    folk-music enthusiasts were coaxed into the camp of pop".
    Their legacy...

    Former Rolling Stone associate editor Robert Greenfield compared the Beatles to
    Picasso, as "artists who broke through the constraints of their time period to come up
    with something that was unique and original ... [I]n the form of popular music, no one
    will ever be more revolutionary, more creative and more distinctive ..." [348] The British
    poet Philip Larkin described their work as "an enchanting and intoxicating hybrid of
    Negro rock-and-roll with their own adolescent romanticism", and "the first advance in
    popular music since the War".
