The history of british rock groups truly starts with the Beatles. The group’s initial incarnation was in 1957, when then sixteen year aged John Lennon and some teenager pals determined to create a pop group. A month later Lennon met then fifteen year aged Paul McCartney and invited him to join. Several months subsequently, McCartney invited fourteen year old George Harrison to join, and the origins of the Beatles was complete.
They ended up writing songs and singing concerts under numerous different names, counting several very awful ones resembling “John and the Moondogs.” In the end Lennon’s schoolboy associates determined to go away the ensemble for college, and Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were left as a trio who would play concerts each time they may find a drummer.
They ultimately found a lasting drummer in Pete Best, and packed on a bassist named Stuart Sutcliffe. Around that time they settled upon the name “the Beatles“, and stage two of the chronicle of the best notorious of british rock bands was complete.
As that quintet they played concerts both in their native soil of Liverpool as well as in Hamburg, Germany. When Harrison was deported for being juvenile, with Lennon and Best soon following for a liquor-fueled inflammable scene, Sutcliffe determined to keep behind with his fiance and the quintet went back to a quartet.
After a tiny bit Best was replaced by Ringo Starr - this was in late 1961/early 1962 - and the Beatles were now complete. success tune and triumph release after hit tune and triumph album followed, and the British invasion was launched.
British rock bands of every type soon followed in the Beatles’ wake. Perhaps one of the most renowned (after the Beatles, naturally) were and are still the Rolling Stones. The Stones fashioned themselves after great southern bluesmen like Muddy Waters and trialled a more destructively bluesy style, heavy on distortion and power chords, than the Beatles did. Also coming out of Britain then were The Who, a ensemble which in many ways originated two subgenres of rock: Punk rock and progressive rock. They were also the 1st of the british rock bands to make destroying the platform over the act a virtual art form.
