0161: THE BEATLES




Paul, John, George and Ringo.

Wikipedia says:

The Beatles have had more number-one albums on the British charts and sold more singles in the UK than any other act. According to the RIAA, they are the best-selling band in the United States, with 177 million certified units. In 2008, the group topped Billboard magazine's list of the all-time most successful "Hot 100" artists. As of 2013, they hold the record for most number-one hits on the Hot 100 chart with 20. They have received 7 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score and 15 Ivor Novello Awards. Collectively included in Time magazine's compilation of the 20th century's 100 most influential people, the Beatles are the best-selling band in history, with EMI Records estimating sales of over one billion units. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Beatles as the best artist of all-time.


They are immortal. And I can't think of any normal person who doesn't like and know one of their songs. Well done boys. 

Probably the greatest rock and roll band in existence. No doubt about it. They taught us everything, from how to twist and shout, to what love is really all about. Listen to their music if you need a little pick-me-up!
