Line 1: − [[Image:Beatles,0.jpg|right|thumb]]+ − '''The Beatles''' were an [[England|English]] Rock band from [[Liverpool]], UK. They were arguably the single most influential rock band of the 20th century, selling over a billion records. The Beatles played and recorded many genres of [[Rock and Roll]] from Tin Pan Alley to [[Psychadelia|Psychedelic Rock]]. − − The four Beatles were [[John Lennon]] (1940-1980), [[George Harrison]] (1943-2001), [[Paul McCartney]] (1942- ), and [[Ringo Starr]] (1940- ). Most of the Beatles songs were co-written by Lennon and McCartney. In the latter half of the 1960's the majority of their songs were written individually, but retained the "Lennon & McCartney" writing credit. George Harrison's songs became more prominent on the albums following Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. − − The Beatles were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 1988. As solo artists, all but Ringo have been inducted (Lennon in 1994, McCartney in 1999 and Harrison in 2004). − − Lennon caused controversy among Christians when he proclaimed, − <blockquote> − "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. ... We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.", (London Evening Standard, March 4, 1966) − </blockquote> − remarks for which he subsequently apologized. − − In 2004 Rolling Stone Magazine ranked the Beatles #1 on their list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5939214/the_immortals_the_first_fifty]</ref> − − The two surviving Beatles are: Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney.
