Rock and Roll in the 1960’s was a very memorable decade. Rock and roll music went through a very dramatic transformation; A few bands went through some changes of their own to keep selling albums. Two very popular bands that went through a transformation was the Beach Boys and the Beatles. I bring up these two well-known bands because I believe that they played a key role in the transformation of rock and roll. Rock and roll would not be the same today without these two remarkable bands. Between the Beach Boys and the Beatles, I guess someone could say that there was a little bit of friction.

They were something that the world would never expect from a band. They were different but in a good way that people could love and follow them. “The Beatles were, something, something that no one had ever seen but that was why we loved them so much because that is what made them different” Rolling Stone. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's move onto the next matter.
