3 Since August 1960 “The Quarry Men“ called themselves “The Beatles“. 2 Shortly thereafter, probably at an early 1958 Quarry Men gig at Wilson Hall, John met Paul`s friend, George Harrison. After McCartney showed his ability to play the guitar, Lennon was sure having found someone with equal musical skills. 1 After a few minutes John was convinced that it would have been a good idea to let Paul become a member of “The Quarry Men“. Lennon was the head of a small band that was called “The Quarry Men“. This was the day when John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met. The whole fairy-tale of their career started on July 6th 1957. The Beatles are one of the world`s greatest phenomena in the second half of the 20th century. In the following I will try to analyse some critical songs performed by the Beatles to build up an own opinion on the question if they just were smart businessmen or if there is something more behind their musical skill. This complexity was one more reason for me to decide this theme. If 100 people wanted to answer this question, the result would consist of 100 different solutions. Thus the conclusion is that the answer of the question “The Beatles - smart businessen or a bit more?“ is just based on one more single opinion. So all the written information you can find about the Beatles is produced by people with certain points of view. It is nearly impossible for anyone to analyse something that complex, because everybody has a different opinion on that kind of topic. The reasons therefore cannot be enumerated in in a few sentences, because it is a difficult act to point out those reasons clearly. The personality of the four boys was not comparable to the personality of any other music group. “Beatlemania“, as the success of the Beatles was called, had its origin not only in the music. But not only their music is predestined for scrutinies. It follows from this that it is a must to scrutinize their music closely. The Beatles are a classic example for the fact that music is able to arouse certain effects in society. But when you want to characterize songs or analyse the listeners` reactions towards music as such, you have to appropriate special knowledge about the history of the time the songs were produced, the social background of the composer and his reasons to create his kind of style. I`m also interested in finding out interesting information about singers, composers and music groups. Listening to all kinds of music has always been one of my favourite hobbies. One of the reasons for me to decide this topic was my marked interest concerning music. The Beatles` role in music today Personal outlook Analysis of some of the Beatles` most critical songsĥ.
