The early, formative years, when the Beatles played their way to success through Liverpool and Hamburg

 The Hamburg days, which are interesting enough to be given an own section (see The Beatles in Hamburg)...

 The Miami beach photos, taken during the Beatles first U.S. visit in February 1964. A beach, the Beatles in swimming trunks - what's there to complain about?

 The Beatles in jeans... this can be seen, for example, in the film HELP!, when the band is in the Bahamas.

 The Beatles in suits... black suits, gray suits, all kinds of suits - they worked for them!

 Their album covers... from the first simple, smiling photo on Please Please Me, to the ground-breaking With the Beatles and Sgt Pepper..., right until the famous crossing on the Abbey Road cover, the Beatles covers were innovative, fresh and unforgettable.

 The Lennon/McCartney songwriting...

 The Harrison songwriting...

 The Starkey songwriting...

 The Beatles concerts... they may have been drowned out by screams, and us second or third generation fans may not have ever been able to experience them live, but nevertheless, they were a great live band.

 Their promo videos... Did they invent MTV? Well, I'd venture to say so, but whatever the opinion may be, it would be hard to say that the Beatles promo videos were anything but wonderful!
