They were different because they were producing real music and stepping away from sounding like just another band trying to imitate American stars. Beatles music was totally unique, a mixture of rock and roll, Rhythm and Blues and Tamla Motown. British music had always been dominated from American produced goods but the Beatles introduced abit of their own lives into their music. They talked about where they grew up Penny Lane and brought back nigh real music for British teenagers, something they could relate to. The Beatles were very good at relating to teenager issues. They talked about existencey teenager troubles in their songs- love and other issues (such as new issues of manly heartache). Lyrics such as I want to hold your hand and Ill cry instead. The lyrics in I want to hold y our hand tell us about a man pleading to a woman let me be your man. Lyrics in Ill cry instead deal with a man who has lost the only girl Ive had and in turn cries about this. caper Lennon & Paul McCartney wrote all these lyrics so they were more pure and real. They were real with youthful energy, style, individuality and distinct personality. The Beatles also had a unique appearance. In the early years they dressed smartly (in plain black suits with ties) and had the squeaky clean image which made them respectable to the older generation too. They all had mop top hair cuts which were slightly longer hair cuts but were accepted as they were a clean cut style.

They also were arrested for assaulting a photographer at Warwick. boilersuit they took advantage of bad publicity and as their manager was best at exploiting this bad view they were nearly alway s in the public eye. This pushed them to go global and the young fans delirium also aided to them making a difference. They promoted a rebellion that the teens wanted, and they got. When I asked my teacher her opinions on the band she commented they were different, wild. I think I liked them because of their music- whenever I listen to their music it makes me come alive. http//www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Limo/3518/lucy.htm http//www.nostalgiacentral.com/60/60music.htm http//www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling-stones/117886.html
