Four Guys from Liverpool – Part 2

Yes, these four music obsessed Englishmen and their friends changed the course of popular culture and I doubt there is any person on earth who doesn’t have some meaningful connection to the Beatles and their music. If you’re going to sing a song called “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” then you better sing it with conviction, which they do- on every song! The group's proficiency, empathy, and commitment to quality all combine to help draw the listener in until you become part of the music.


The Beatles could do it all from blistering rock 'n' roll covers to harmonized folk, from psychedelic rock (which they pretty much invented) to timeless pop- and everything in between. Most bands would kill for just one of these songs and the lads from Liverpool make it all look so easy. The smiles, the joy, the hopeful spirit- not to mention the handclaps, hooks, and harmonies- all these gifts they gave the world simply demand the Beatles receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Here are some (more) of my favorites. Enjoy!
