	'''The Beatles''' were a world famous and popular British rock band. They were active from 1962 to 1970 and hugely influential in the development of popular music. Their innovative music featured new experimental sounds which still managed to interest their international audience. Band members [[John Lennon]], [[Paul McCartney]], George Harrison and [[Ringo Starr]] wrote a huge string of much covered hit songs together, including ''"Please Please Me", "A Hard Day's Night", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Help!", "[[Strawberry Fields Forever]]", "Penny Lane", "A Day In The Life", "All You Need Is Love", "[[I Am The Walrus]]", "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be".'' No other group ever managed to appeal both fans of mainstream and alternative music on that scale. Apart from their music The Beatles' fashion (haircuts, Beatle Boots),...) and attitude also inspired an entire generation.		'''The Beatles''' were a world famous and popular British rock band.

+==Zappa about The Beatles==
-- ''"Everybody else thought The Beatles were God! I think that was not correct. They were just a good commercial group. I preferred [[The Monkees]]."'' - Quoted from ''[[The Fabulous Furry Freak Brother!]]'' interview in Classic Rock, December 2012, by Mick Wall.
+'''Matty Biberfeld:''' What do you think about the, uh … current state of Rock & Roll, this Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock, Folk Rock … uh …<br>
-- ''"I didn't hate them. I actually like two or three of their songs. I just thought they were ridiculous. What was so disgusting was the way they were consumed and merchandised. No music has succeeded in America unless it was accompanied by something to wear, something to dance or a hairdo. A phenomenon is not going to occur unless you can dress up to it.'' - Frank Zappa about The Beatles, interviewed in ''[[Classical Zappa]]''.
+- Quoted from ''[["Poop Rock"]]'' on ''[[The MOFO Project/Object (Deluxe Edition)]]''.
