The Influence Of The Beatles On Pop Music

The Beatles explored their passions through writing music, touring the world, and experimenting with different sounds that were new to the music industry. The Beatles often incorporated different genres of music including Indian music, psychedelic, and hard rock, which was not done or believed to be a good idea at the time. They didn’t stop at different sounds, but they also explored different methods to make music, like sampling, artificial double tracking, and multitrack recording machines. As a result, The Beatles encountered a copious amount of people that were against them creating a new sound. With Pop music being new to the music scene, most listeners were encountering a new sound for the first time ever. While The Beatles were topping
charts and going on tour, they encountered a lifestyle that embodied the 60’s. They experimented in their lives as well as their music. There were few things that The Beatles didn’t try, which made them more divisive. The Beatles ideas were passed on to future bands and artists and that exchange of ideas created many different types of music that we still listen to today. The Beatles not only were important to music followers, but they heavily impacted the sports culture. The night that John Lennon was shot was the night of the Orange Bowl. With three seconds left in the game, the news was aired on television of his death. Because there was no social media to get the news out, Howard Cosell’s announcement of Lennon’s death was the first anyone heard of the news. The band was so big, and had such a big impact on people and music that they felt the need to announce the news at the game.
