As you follow this blog, notice how the style of their music and the way they looked changed over this short span of time, reflecting the changing culture of the 1960s. The Beatles are considered the most iconic representation of that very important decade in history, and it was their music that always helped lead the way. Their repertoire includes the greatest rock songs and the most beautiful love ballads of all time.
