Rubber Soul
Rubber Soul is different from the previous one from the cover. The faces of the Beatles were all a little deformed, which more or less implied the music that was later called "psychedelic rock". The album includes songs such as "The word", "Michelle" and "In my life", among which another song "Norwegian wood" is unique by using the Indian Sitar.
Yesterday and Today
is only released in the United States. Among them, the lyrics of Nowhere man are influenced by folk rock, showing the nature of more social comments.
Revolver
In Revolver, Eleanor Rigby used the form of string octet. This kind of song predicted the style of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in many ways.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
In 1967, the most classic album was produced by the Beatles in cooperation with the orchestra and under the supervision of producer Martin. It is not only the culmination of the Beatles' long-term artistic exploration, but also occupies an important position in the history of rock music.
Sergeant Pepper is a set of songs with 12 songs. The title song "Sergeant Pepper" is not only the opening song of the suite, but also the theme of the unified whole song. Sergeant Pepper here actually represents the Beatles themselves. They performed a series of songs in a psychedelic concert atmosphere. For example, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamond", the initial letter LSD of several words in the title of the song clearly implies that the song is related to narcotics, and there are various psychedelic scenes in the lyrics, but Lennon argued that it was inspired by the painting of his 4-year-old son. Musically, every section of a song is a superposition of three beats to four beats, which is the first time in rock music that the beat is changed, which makes the song no longer have the dance nature of the usual rock music. In the recording effect, the contrast between reverberation and normal human voice is increased. "within you without you" is lack of regularity, and the length of phrases is uneven; On the whole, psychedelic ingredients are relatively strong, which gives people a hypnotic effect. "when I'm sixty-four" was written by McCartney for his father who just turned 64. The song brought people back to the style similar to Ragtime in the 193s. "A day in the life" is the last piece of music. The lyrics obviously involve drug abuse, and the content is relatively negative, which shows the boredom of daily life, thus causing controversy among the audience.
Sergeant Pepper is an unprecedented creation in the history of pop music. This album won the Grammy Award for Best Record in 1967, but it also became a turning point for the Beatles to break up.
The Beatles album
is a set of two records with an all-white cover, so it is also called The white album. The White Album consists of 3 songs with very different styles. In fact, this album is not a collective creation of the band, but a clever combination of individual works. For example, Back in the U．S．S．R is a mainstream rock song; Why don't we do it in the road adopts the traditional rhythm and blues singing style and the 12-bar blues musical structure; Honey Pie is a replica of an ancient pop song. The most special style is Revolution 9, which Lennon created and insisted on. It is more than 8 minutes long and is composed of various voices. Then there is also Good night by Lennon, which is an authentic pop song accompanied by orchestral music. Rocky Raccoon is a humorous narrative song written and sung by McCartney, accompanied by acoustic guitar and harmonica. "White Album" was a great success in music and business, winning the first place in the album charts for 9 weeks.
Abbey Road
The title refers to the location of EMI's recording studio, where the Beatles recorded a lot of works. Like White Album, all four people contributed their own works, which were sung and played by the whole band. This album includes Harrison's Something and Here Comes the Sun. Lennon's "Come together" and "I Want You"; McCartney's songs such as "Oh, darling" and "Beause" have strong appeal, making Abbey Road the best-selling album of "Beatles" and winning the charts for 11 consecutive weeks.
Let it be
in April 197, another Beatles film, let it be, was released, and an album of the same name was also released. These songs were actually recorded a year ago, and none of the Beatles were interested in it. Finally, an American producer helped to edit and mix them. However, the method of "column chord" as the main accompaniment texture in the album's main song "Let Nature Take its course" was widely adopted by rock bands in the future. [Edit this paragraph] Film and Television In 1964, the Beatles starred in the first film "A Hard Day's Night", which won huge box office results and wide acclaim from film critics.

[Edit this paragraph] Evaluating the rise of rock music has turned the original pop music and pop music industry upside down. The voices of some famous pop singers were replaced by the rock songs of Presley, little richard and Lewis, and the record industry dominated by five major record companies was invaded by hundreds of small record companies. A market for adult whites has become a market for teenagers, who are increasingly interested in black culture. In this sense, rock music has indeed ushered in a revolution. However, this revolution lost its original edge in 1964 when it was about to enter the second decade. Mainstream rock gave way to moderate rock, pop, surf music, etc. For a time, rock music around the 196 s will
