This month’s
featured site is www.thebeatles.com
the Beatles official web site. The Beatles
are probably among the most recognizable, influential, and musically
prolithic rock groups of all time. Paul McCartney,
John Lennon, George Harrison,
and Ringo Starr, would come from the little
town of Liverpool England, and would soon go on to captivate
the world. It’s an interesting side note but, Ringo was
not the group’s original drummer. A fellow by the name
of Pete Best started out with the Beatles,
but he was soon replaced just before the Lads hit it big. When
they hit, brother they exploded, in fact their arrival is often
described as the (British) invasion. They brought with
them such a new and unique sound and truly changed the musical
landscape for the better. Some of the best well known songs
of this modern era were written and performed by the Beatles.
Their accomplishments over the span of their career are legendary,
enough to write an entire book about. However, our focus is
not to write a biography about The Beatles, but to take a look
at their web site. For us it has and always will be, all about
The Beatles music. Among our favorite tunes are; “Help”,
“Another Girl" to “Eleanor
Rigby”, and “Blackbird”.
Those awesome songs and so many others are the reasons why we
admire the Beatles so much, and why we take great pleasure in
featuring their web site this month.
The Beatles website
is cool, classic, and fiercely focuses on everything Beatles
related. The site is broken down into 5 basic categories; The
Beatles, The Music, The Films, The Sites, and The Store. The
first category we’ll look at is The Beatles.
This section chronicles the career accomplishments of the Fab
Four from just before they hit big in 1963 to when it ended
in 1970.
