Beatles

This breezy rocker highlighted a subtly evolving sound, becoming their seventh U.S. No. 1.

Without it, they might never have rebounded from crushing disappointment to complete 'Abbey Road.'

The Fab Four recorded more than 200 songs. We listened to each and every one of them.

There's no denying the film's appeal to young and old, both through music and visuals.

Included are albums that still feel like time-stamped baubles and others that have only grown in estimation.

They were creating new songs at such a pace that fans, radio and retailers could hardly be expected to keep up.

At the time, it must have seemed like an otherwise nondescript show. Instead, history was made.

If weed is ever decriminalized, enthusiasts should toke up in honor of the Fab Four.

May the Fourth be with you! Here's the coolest Star Wars tribute we've seen so far and it's from a born and bred Mainer!

Experimental piece from early 1967 can be thought of as a precursor to the White Album's "Revolution 9."

Let's cut down a track listing that was just too long (long, long).

If you've seen any of the 23 James Bond movies, you're familiar with British trumpet player Derek Watkins. The session player also sat in with Eric Clapton, the Beatles, Elton John and more during a nearly 50-year career. Watkins died on Friday (March 22) after a two year battle with cancer.

Money, as the Beatles famously opined, can't buy you love. What it can get you, however, is a signed edition of 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' -- though, alas, the price is skyrocketing.

It was the panty-drop, girl-shriek heard round the world, when on March 22, 1963, the Beatles released their first album in the UK, on Parlophone Records.

Since the very beginning, many an artist took note of the songwriting brilliance of John Lennon and Paul McCartney (and later George Harrison), and lined up to record their own versions of a Beatles song. Del Shannon was one of the first, recording 'From Me To You' before the Beatles even hit America...

EMI's decision to overhaul the Beatles catalog in 1987, spurred by the CD revolution, was a long time coming. For more than 20 years the world’s most popular band’s albums were known one way to U.S. fans and another way to fans in Europe.
