The Beatles 1962–1970
Think about that. 8 years.
The Beatles created an everlasting legacy in 8 years. Recording from September 1962 to January 1970, the Fab Four released 13 studio albums which changed music forever. I find it hard to explain to those who are not fans of The Beatles why I consider them to be the greatest band of all time. However I do make this point. The Beatles recorded music for 8 years. We all know the music, the legacy, the story. 8 years! Think about that! I often compare other bands and look at how long they have been around and compare what they have achieved. None come close. 8 years. Below is just a small list of musical acts and how long they have been recording or how long they lasted recording music.
