The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Drawing from skiffle, beat music, and 1950s rock and roll, they developed a distinctive sound that blended classical music and traditional pop with innovative arrangements. Throughout their career, the band explored diverse musical styles including folk, Indian music, psychedelia, and hard rock. As pioneers in recording techniques, songwriting, and visual presentation, the Beatles fundamentally transformed the music industry and elevated popular music to an art form. The band disbanded in 1970 after becoming integral to 1960s counterculture and establishing themselves as the most influential band in popular music history.
