The Beatles is undoubtedly the greatest, most influential, most popular and most successful band in the history of pop music. The Beatles's revolutionary development and influence on pop music is unparalleled. They have made great contributions to the development of world rock, influenced the music and thoughts of several generations of rock bands since 1960s, and directly influenced the reform and development of rock. In Britain, since 1960s, The Beatles has influenced the formation and development of almost all bands. The four great musicians in the band, especially John Lennon and paul mccartney, have exerted great influence on the younger generation of rock singers and music creators in all corners of the world. In the 1960s, the Beatles led a vigorous wave of music culture invasion, which was called "British invasion" by the United States, which fundamentally impacted the foundation of American music, completely buried the dynasty of Elvis Presley, dominated the American record market, and affected the development path of American local pop music.

As a band as a whole, The Beatles also won eight Grammy Awards. The first time was in the 7th Grammy Awards 1964. The Beatles won the Best Singing Group Award for her single "A Hard Night". At the 9th Grammy Awards two years later, the Beatles' single Michelle, written by John Lennon and paul mccartney, won the best song of the year, and the album Revolver also won a technical award-the best album cover, graphic art). 1In June, 965, the Beatles were awarded the Best Medal of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. At the 10th Grammy Awards Ceremony on 1967, the Beatles won the best album of the year and the best contemporary album with their album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band. At the same time, this album won two technical awards-the best engineering recording-the non-classic award and the best album cover award. At the Grammy Awards Ceremony on 1969 12, The Beatles's album Abby Road won the Best Non-classical Recording Project Award for the second time. At the 13 Grammy Awards Ceremony of 1970, The Beatles won the original soundtrack of the best film or TV special for "Let It Go". Since then, due to the dissolution of the Beatles, they failed to win the prize again. Until the 39th Grammy Awards Ceremony in 1996, the Beatles, who had been disbanded for nearly 30 years, won three Grammy Awards. The Beatles won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Music Performance for their single "Free as a Bird", and the music video "Free as a Bird" and the music video "Selected Beatles" produced by a Duoor group with vocal music won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video (short format) and Best Music Video (long format) respectively, which once again wrote the legend of the Beatles. Paul mccartney won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on 1990 for his outstanding personal contribution to music. The rise of rock music has greatly changed the original pop music and pop music industry. The voices of some famous pop singers were replaced by rock songs of Presley, little richard and Lewis, and the recording industry dominated by five major record companies was invaded by hundreds of small record companies. The market for adult whites has become a market for teenagers, who are more and more interested in black culture. In this sense, rock music has indeed ushered in a revolution. However, this revolution lost its original edge when 1964 was about to enter the second decade. Mainstream rock gave way to moderate rock, pop music, surfing music and so on. There were different opinions about how rock music would develop in the 1960s. At this time, American society is also in chaos. In this case, the rock music that originally belonged to Americans let the British break in. Under the influence of the Beatles, the disappearing American rock music began to regain its vitality, thus setting off a new climax in the history of rock music. They inherited the achievements of rock music in the first ten years, enriched and developed rock music with their own creation and innovation, and brought rock music to a new historical stage. Since then, rock music is no longer just a simple entertainment music, it has more things worth thinking about and more things hidden behind the music. Young people in Britain and America who grew up in the 1960s rarely had anything to do with their singing. It can be said that their songs have influenced a generation's artistic taste, clothing hairstyle, lifestyle and attitude towards life. The appearance of "The Beatles" made more scholars begin to study the phenomenon of rock music, as well as the music and lyrics of rock music, so that later, rock music courses were offered in universities (which was unimaginable in the early 1960s).
