    Yes. I guessed the band that had the most #1’s. Of course it had to be the Beatles. No one else comes close.

      Which is very surprising since they weren’t recording music as the four of them until like '62. But they were coming out with an album every six months, and the fact that singles were really important back then (that and there was a UK album, US album).

        What they accomplished in what 7-8 was phenomenonal. It’s good music. You can hear the styles changing through the years.

          100%, and the fact that some of the songs they made were the beginnings of new genres. Like Helter Skelter is essentially proto-punk, hard rock, heavy metal and all because Paul heard The Who made a loud song and he wanted to make one louder.

          It is wild that if Lennon and McCartney never met, what bands wouldn’t be here because of it? What musical genre’s wouldn’t exist or would be different w/o their influence.
