	'''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.
