The Beatles formed in Liverpool, England in 1960, and grew to become the most influential and successful rock music band of all time. Experimenting with various genres and always setting the trends rather than following the existing ones, their popularity stemmed from innovative musical composition and social awareness during a major historical transition. In 2003, Rolling Stone listed four Beatles albums in the list of Top Ten Greatest Albums of All Time, with Sgt. Pepper being #1. They have sold more albums in the US than any other artist, Billboard magazine named them the #1 top selling artist of all time, and Time magazine included them in the Time 100: Most Important People in History. You simply cannot say you’re a music buff if you do not love, or at least appreciate the influence of, The Beatles. Commemorate one of the greatest musical sensations of all time with the amazing (and incredibly cool) Beatles merchandise and collectibles from FuntoCollect.com.
