    In 1966, when it was reported that John Lennon claimed that the Beatles were bigger than God, outrage ensued and they became boycotted throughout the United States. 50 years and 600 million albums sold later, most music enthusiasts and what one could consider Classic Rock junkies would not hesitate to agree with the statement. Like much of the religious public that boycotted the Beatles during the "Bigger than Jesus" controversy, their fans assemble as a cult and turn fiercely defensive when the

    Lester Polsfuss once said,” If you're going to aim high, you might as well aim the whole way.” Paul is saying if you are going to make a change in the world you should not give up and to keep going until you succeed. Other artists stated that he was “ The man who started everything. He's just a genius.” Paul's early life, his creation of the electric guitar, and his lasting legacy on the world of music, make him the man he is recognized as today. Although Paul was known as the greatest guitar player

    I was, to be honest, devastated when the Beatles broke up to go their separate ways, and always torn between the music of Paul McCartney, which was always more rock and roll and raw, and that of John Lennon – often introspective and quiet but eternally thought -provoking, because his was a talent bordering on genius, tinged perhaps with a hint of madness? I loved each of them in their own way, but somehow always found Lennon songs came to mind more readily. Imagine was far and away his best album

    The impact of the Beatles has often been noted but cannot be overstated. The Fab Four from Liverpool, England, startled the ears and energized the lives of virtually all who heard them. Their arrival triggered the musical revolution of the Sixties, introducing a modern sound and viewpoint that parted ways with the world of the previous decade. The Beatles were apart of the British invasion and made a huge impact across the world with their music and fashion trends, before, during, and after the

    I don’t believe in this conspiracy theory because there was no factual evidence and it did not make sense. This conspiracy theory is a biased interpretation of material and personalized views. The conspiracy surrounding Paul McCartney’s death is ridiculous. The idea, even the thought, that The Beatles arranged to find a doppelganger of Paul and promoted their songs by writing about his death is horrible. Even though The Beatles had their problems, the bands members were close and respected each other

    I believe John Lennon should be inducted in to the top 100 guitarist Hall of Fame for several reasons. First reason, because he’s an amazing artist who’s accomplished so much and has worked through many challenges from since he was a little boy, such as dealing with tragic death of his mother. Secondly, because of his involvement with charities for children with special needs and his fight for peace during the Vietnam War. Lastly, because of the amazing career he had with the Beatles and without

    Though not a progressive band so much as a band that dabbled in prog, the Beatles would suffer at the hands of progressive rock protesters who had been angered by John Lennon’s “We’re more popular than Jesus now” quote. The ideologies of those who opposed the controversial themes of progressive rock - mainly conservative Christian fundamentalists with a preference for order - had the passion and power to hold mass demonstrations in protest, resulting in the campaign “Ban the Beatles.” In anger,
