In My Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
(In My Life by The Beatles fr Rubber Soul Album 1965 - Lyrics by John Lennon)

Greatest Band of All Time

The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr
The impact of the Beatles upon popular music is limitless; they revolutionized the music industry and touched the lives of all who heard them in deep and fundamental ways. Arriving in US on February 7, 1964, they literally stood the world of pop culture on its head. The Beatles' buoyant melodies, playful personalities and charisma have created a mass adulation coined as Beatlemania. Without exaggeration, they transfixed and transformed the world in music, fashion, lifestyle and popular culture in general.

Beatles’ first Number One single in the U.S. was I Want to Hold Your Hand. During the week of April 4, 1964, the Beatles set a record that is likely never to be broken when they occupied all top 5 positions on Billboard's Top Chart, with Can't Buy Me Love at Number One, followed by Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and Please Please Me. The Beatles had twelve songs on the Top-100 charts that week, a feat never matched before or since.

The Beatles can unassailably be regarded as the top group in rock and roll history. Yet their significance as a band extends beyond numbers to encompass their innovations in the recording studio. The Beatles' legacy as a concert attraction is distinguished primarily by the deafening screams of fans overcome by the group's very appearance.

For various reasons, ranging from safety concerns to frustration that no one could hear or was listening, the Beatles retired from touring after a San Francisco concert on August 29, 1966. Consequently, they began to indulge their creative energies in the studio, experimenting with sounds in ways no one had attempted before. The results included such musically expansive and lyrically sophisticated albums as Rubber Soul (1965) and Revolver (1966).

They released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), an album that has almost universally been cited as the creative apotheosis of rock and roll, a watershed event in which rock became serious art without losing its sense of humor (or sense of the absurd).

The Beatles have amassed the greatest sales for any artist. All-time sales have been estimated by EMI at over one billion discs and tapes to-date. In 2001, they had been certified for album sales of 163.5 million in the US alone. The Beatles have numerous other world records, including most recorded song Yesterday had 1,600 versions recorded between 1965 and 1985.

Their compilation album 1 (released on 13 Nov 2000) sold13.5 million copies around the world in its first month, making it the fastest-selling album in music history. It's something unthinkable for a band that broke up in 1970.

Their latest album Love (released on 21 November 2006) has also topped album charts all over the world.

John Lennon was shot dead by a deranged fan in 1980 while George Harrison died in 2001 due to cancer.
