Why might a British band have had such an influence on an American audience?|||Elvis came out of the army as a film star and crooner- John Lennon even bluntly asked Elvis "when are you gonna make another great rock and roll record?" Fifties style rock had been replaced by bubblegum so when a guitar-based band with a new outlandish look arrived, America was ready. The Stones and Animals were just months behind as American producers ran to the UK looking for more acts.|||the way they played there music in general, lyrics also i believe. the beatles is a band that made great music and everybody likes it so yea...|||your stupid...
The Beatles are nothing more than a band who inspired musicians...not even enough to create rock and roll...
and wtf ur talking about revived...
the Beatles are a 1960 band...the forming of rock itself|||Americans were probably looking for something different. The Beatles came with good looks and catchy songs|||The beatles were nothing but a pop band, they didn't change a thing about rock. the bands who DID change rock at the time were bands like the Animals and the Rolling Stones. what they did was different.
The beatles were the most overrated band in rock history. Just because teen girls thought they were cute didn't make them good!|||America hated The Beatles except for teenagers.|||they created rockand roll along with the animals and the rolling stones!|||A lot of reasons are behind the Beatles success, they came along at a time when America was making great changes, as well as the rest of the world. They basically took the american rock and roll music which was dominated at the time by black artists, put thier own styles to it and really formed a different sound by fusing american rock and british skiffle. Radio airplay was difficult at that time for black artists even though the music was fresh and exciting. Not to be cruel because the Beatles are my absolute favorite band, but they basically put a WHITE face on the black music and in turn, the music became more acceptable to a much larger aduience. Having said that. The Beatles were truely talented, artistic and worte some of the greatest songs ever. You have to remember that they quit touring just 2 years after the hit it big. One reason was because of the hassles but also because the couldn't perform the music they recorded in the studio live anymore because of the lack of technology at the time.|||they didnt revive rock , as it wasnt dead...they softened it and made it into easy listening...|||Who the hell told you that? Rock 'n' Roll was born in the 1950s, and the Beatles started in like 1958 - they were not internationally famous until like early 60s, so how could they revive anything?
They invented 'popular music' (short for what we now know as pop), sure they covered a lot of rock 'n' roll tracks but their concerts were never filled with die hard rock 'n' rollers, but mainly thousands of screaming girls who wanted to see them - and funnily enough didn't really care about the music.|||They brought it to a entirely new level with their style of play.
