Connor, I agree that The Beatles are the greatest band of their time period (a lot of critics even go so far as to say they are the best band of all time). I think of several reasons why they left such an imprint on pop-culture. One would be the variety of sounds and lyrics they used in their music. From the clanky sound of “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” to the trippy, far east sound of “Norwegian Wood” they keep it interesting to listen to. Another reason would be as you said, they brought people together. They were essentially the “people’s band” and always stood for peace and equality. I would also agree that their music gives off happy vibes, whenever I listen to “She Loves You” or “Here Comes The Sun” I can’t help but smile and get in a more positive mood. If you liked The Beatles music, there is a song that John Lennon did with Elton John after the breakup of The Beatles called “Whatever Get’s You Through the Night” and it puts you in a good mood just like The Beatles do. I would definitely recommend this band to anyone who loves music, it’s one of those staple bands that everyone should have on their iPod or at least have knowledge of. I would also agree with you that their music is well worth the time and money.
