FORMED: 1960, Liverpool, England
DISBANDED: 1970
Inspired by the "skiffle boom", a student at Quarry Bank
School in Liverpool named John Lennon decided to form a
group in 1957 which laid the foundation to what was to
become the most famous rock band of all time. John's
original name was "The Blackjacks". However, this name only
lasted a week and John used the school name as inspiration
for the later name "The Quarry Men" in March 1957. John
sang and played guitar, Colin Hanton played drums, Eric
Griffiths on guitar, Pete Shotton on washboard, Rod Davis
on banjo and Bill Smith on tea-chest bass. Bill was soon
replaced by Ivan Vaughan.
John was inspired by "Heartbreak Hotel" and became a
fan of American rock 'n' roll music. He introduced songs by
Buddy H More...

Review about The Beatles
Stupid! | Reviewer: Alkjf
------ About the song If I Fell performed by The Beatles
Guys you are so stupid! Its not the beatles singing to a guy! It's from Across the Universe so they changed it to her cuz a girl is singing it to a guy. In the beatles version, they say him and the beatles are singing it to a girl. Okay so stop being like eww the beatles are gay cuz they arent.

------ About the song Blackbird performed by The Beatles
this is my three year old's favorite song. she knows it by heart and always wants me to sing it to her before sleep. one night I awoke at three AM to the sound of her singing this, in her sleep, in perfect pitch and all the lyrics perfect. It is a memory I will never forget. Thank you John and Paul.

------ About the song Dear Prudence performed by The Beatles
Across the Universe is a terrible representation of the music the Beatles made; an accurate representation of the 60's, but the Beatles weren't trying to represent the 60's. I just think being introduced to the Beatles through that movie will keep the listener from thinking of anything other than rock and roll life style that Across the Universe has given it. However, I do sing this song to my young cousins when they're upset and it always makes them smile :]
Okay? | Reviewer: Davey Toonah
------ About the song I Am the Walrus performed by The Beatles
I think you'll find that John Lennon wrote the lyrics and the only way you'd ever find a CORRECT and most exact description/interpretation to the lyrics is to ask him. Since he's dead it doesn't matter. The Beatles are one of the greatest bands to have ever existed, that's all we need to worry about.
STOP | Reviewer: Alyssa
------ About the song And Your Bird Can Sing performed by The Beatles
Here's the deal, the beatles wrote their music for everyone to interpret them their own way and for everyone to apply them to their own lives their way. That's the point. There is no right or wrong. It just is. So as once said by the famous four-some.. "let it be".
I love The Beatles. | Reviewer: Carly
------ About the song Penny Lane performed by The Beatles
I heard this song yesterday on the Anthology Album. It's amazing. The words paint a picture in my mind of a perfect little town; it's strange for me to say this is nostalgic because it's not like I was actually there, but it is. Words can not express the feelings that are expressed in The Beatles songs.
Peace out.
Hmm... | Reviewer: EnglandFTW!
------ About the song You've Got to Hide Your Love Away performed by The Beatles
Oh wow I absolutely adore the Beatles... And as for the miserable person who wrote the "Nooblets" comment, I say, is your life really that useless that all you do is post ugly comments to beautiful songs? You have no life -_-
Anywho... I've been listening to the Beatles my whole life! They changed music for the better....
Lovely song, also.

------ About the song Birthday performed by The Beatles
It drives my son crazy because everytime it's a birthday at our house I sing it all day long and he says: IS THAT ALL IT SAYS?! OVER AND OVER?! So I sing louder and louder. Today it's my daughters bday and I plan on putting it on my ipod and playing it over and over just to drive him nuts! :) Gotta love being the one in charge!
Happy Birthday to ya!

------ About the song Dear Prudence performed by The Beatles
I'm not gonna go all boring paragraph-y on you readers. I know you don't want to sit here and read it. Julie Taymore, you took the most amazing band in the world and put their work into you're amazingly just WOW film. Your cast was just the cherry on top. They portrayed the 60's charecters wonderfully. The 60's was my absolute favorite era and The Beatles are my favorite band. I also own many of ther records; stolen from my parents ofcourse. All in all, Across the Universe was probably the best film I have and and will ever see. much love
get over it | Reviewer: kasey
------ About the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds performed by The Beatles
Why is it such a big deal if the song was about LSD?? rappers straight up say they are getting wrecked in their songs. hell theres a song with the guy listing off all these pills they're poppin.songs about dealing coke..at least john lennon found a creative and subtle way of describing an amazing trip. I want to see marmalaid skies and people eating marshmellow pies ha. its pure genious. I absolutly love it.

About | Reviewer: kevin
------ About the song Norwegian Wood performed by The Beatles
This song is about John Lennon's love affair with a women who lived beneath him. Her house was furnished with cheap pine wood. John made the song as inconspicuous as possible so not to lead his wife toward his doings. The line about lighting on fire is a matter of personal revenge on John's part for not getting what (who) he wanted. Lesbians? come on people...
Free as a Bird. | Reviewer: Jamie Turner
------ About the song Free As A Bird performed by The Beatles
I believe this is one of the Beatle's greatest peices.
As Lennon Sings about Being Free as a Bird.
It almost gives the listener the feeling he is singing from heaven and being "Free as a bird" is a metaphor for being free from life.
Truely an amazing melody.
A touching Song

------ About the song Rocky Raccoon performed by The Beatles
"I don't dispute that LCD can have a profound impact on your state of mind..."
Just to clear something up, we're not talking about TVs here, we're talking about acid...LSD...make sure you know what you're talking about before trying to argue a point. And no two peoples experience on acid will be exactly the same, no. But every one is in the same altered mind state, so the experiences any one has will be extremely similar to the ones the beatles had, or their friends had, or any one whose ever done it before. The way your mind works on acid is extremely diferent than when you're sober. No one is saying that you can only appreciate the Beatles while you're on acid, just saying that the way you actually hear the music, the way you understand it and interepret it when you eat acid is a completely different experience than it is when you're sober.

------ About the song I Am the Walrus performed by The Beatles
Ok for all you people who think they know so much....
Your stupid for trying to interpert the song cause johns whole point was to write a song that had no meaning to it, plus there is certain parts that have something to do with him and pauls friendship. You can say it's drugs and yes the policeman part was meant to sound like a siren. Other then that this song is great and was a great idea meant to be written
To me, it is. | Reviewer: michaela
------ About the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds performed by The Beatles
If you look at the lyrics of this song, it is things you would think of while you are on a trip (acid/drug of that sort). Did his child come up with all the other lyrics, where all the other words were not in this so called picture?
I think not.
To me, I think that John Lennon used the picture as an excuse, or even TOLD his child to draw a picture as an excuse, to show people later on.
His child would not sit there and tell his father that he was going to draw "rocking horse people eating marshmallow pies" and "newspaper taxis appearing on the shore waiting to take you away" and having people "climb in the back with your(their) head in the clouds" BUT he just didn't have enough time during art class.
To me, it's all too circumstantial for me, but maybe i'm just overreacting.
If you want, take a look at the lyrics, there are many more "coincidences".
That's just my view, since there is quite a bit of evidence proving that there is more to the story than just his child drawing a picture of a classmate, who is in the sky with diamonds. AND how there are lyrics to the song that do not pertain to the picture drawn, or anything sensible.
Perfect | Reviewer: Gerardo
------ About the song I've Just Seen a Face performed by The Beatles
This is perfect for a situation in which I'm involved now.
I'm a college student and was visiting Russia... then at some point this cute girl calls 'hola!' somewhere from the lobby. Had one of us looked the other way nothing would have happened. So much like 'destiny'. Ahh, I'm loving this song! (Oh, she just dedicated it to me today, two months after the lobby incident in which we got to talk for the first time)
