They
were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other
rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously
the best at what they did and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the
Beatles grabbed a hold of the international mass consciousness
in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity but never losing
their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains
unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.
