10 Bands Who Were Justified In Changing Sounds
1. The Beatles
John, Paul, George and Ringo started out life as the Beatles by dressing smart and appearing as respectable young men of the time. As the 1960s rolled on however, The Beatles were right at the heart of the changing norms and values within society.
The initial sound The Beatles produced in the early 1960s combined elements of traditional Rock 'n Roll first heard in the decade prior with the pop elements that were proving popular with the '60's younger generations.
Following their invasion of the United States in 1964, The Beatles came more and more innovative. With enlightening trips to India and the increasing use of psychedelic drugs providing them with inspiration aplenty, the four boys from Liverpool would begin flexing their creative genius in the years that followed.
As they began pushing society's expectations of them more and more, The Beatles would often split off on their own and bring their own identities back with them into the recording studio. From 1965 onwards, The Beatles would produce the iconic albums of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967, The White Album in 1968 and Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road in 1969.
