Abstract
This essay recounts the Beatles' flirtations with Indian culture between the years 1965 and 1968, while also examining various representations of that event by commentators. Edward Said's "Orientalism" is used as a dominant theme in the discussion, along with the accounts and opinions of some writers on the Beatles' music and career. Attention is paid to specific musical aspects of India-influenced Beatles songs.

From the Paper
"For the English-speaking West, the middle 1960s was a period of great turmoil and social unrest. Marked in its first half by the escalating Vietnam conflict, the Cuban Missile Crisis and a presidential assassination, the 1960s was also a time of optimism and a new social consciousness. For some, the search for personal fulfillment led them to the philosophy and religion of India at the same time that Indian sounds and forms were seeing a vogue in Western popular music. First popular in the London rock scene, the interest in fusions of Indian music with rock music soon spread to North America, and the so-called "raga-rock" trend was born. India was "the most recurrent topos in Rock exoticism in the..."

From the Paper
"No one knew that what started out as a shabby little tavern band created by John Lennon in 1957, would lead to a world changing, record shattering, generation captivating phenomena known today as The Beatles. Culturally I have never experienced anything like The Beatles. By the time I was seven, I was sitting listening to Beatles albums on my mom's old record player, and this was several years after The Beatles had split up. Their music defined a generation and influenced every one that followed."

Abstract
The Beatles were arguably the most admired and influential pop band in the history of music. Despite the fact that group members parted their ways several decades ago, their popularity hardly faded even in the new century. Their music sparked a sociological phenomenon called "The Beatlemania" and their celebrity status was unsurpassed. This certainly had a profound effect on the group members as the time went by. They started to feel imprisoned within it, not being able to move, travel or even work without being followed by many.

From the Paper

I don't know why ... we were just cocky" (Chapter: The Beatles 2005). These four teenagers who were determined to be successful, never even dreamed of how successful they were going to be.

From the Paper
"Another reason why the Beatles can be seen as the last pop explosion in the world lies in the fact that the energy associated with Beatlemaina is credited to the Beatles alone. They were easily copied by many bands of their time and, more importantly, they still influence musicians today. Many bands have been lauded as the "next Beatles" and undoubtedly, many strive for such recognition. MacDonald states, "Purely in terms of pop, they invented the idiom as later generations came to know it, revolutionizing pop songwriting, studio production, video promotion, general presentation and instrumental styles." The Beatles were more than a rock group; they were innovators that were at the right place at the right time. They were not afraid of change. Another fact that proves that the Beatles were a pop explosion can be seen in their influence in fashion."

From the Paper
"It is astoundingly and incredibly amazing in comprehension that a group of young men from England singing a few tunes in nondescript attire of suits and ties would change the entire music industry in the timeframe of just a few years and still be affecting the music world and industry nearing fifty years later. The stamina and popularity of the Beatles as well as their music has not faded even today and all predictions are that their music and legacy will live on for quite some time to come."

Abstract
This paper explains that the origin of the Beatles was the union of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in a band called "The Quarry Men," later to be joined by George Harrison, and finally, Ringo Starr. The author points out that Beatlemania began after an appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964, and, the following year, the Beatles were made "Members of the Order of the British Empire," an award honoring those who are deserving either for achievement or service to the country. The paper relates that, at the top of their career, the Beatles began to unravel upon the death of their manager, Brian Epstein; the stress of fame and fortune was beginning to show on the group and, in 1969, "Abbey Road" was their last album to be recorded.

From the Paper
"Rock and roll has created a culture like no other form of music ever before experienced on this planet. It has permeated through cultures so diverse that one would think they would never have anything in common. Yet, rock and roll knows geographic boundaries. It knows no language barriers. And, it knows truly no age restrictions. Rock and roll has become more universal then any other music form ever developed."

Abstract
This paper looks at Buddy Holly's influence on the music of the Beatles. It shows that Buddy Holly's influence and courage to experiment and innovate led the Beatles to their own innovation and impact on the pop music scene; enabling them to make significant contributions to opening up rock and roll to the British and the world, making it not just a regional American sound, but an international phenomena.

From the Paper
"Working within his rock band, "The Crickets," Buddy Holly's unique approach to his music, with his new and ground-breaking vocal style and guitar technique would become the example to be followed, imitated and would set a standard that would be built upon by other artists including Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and particularly groups and artists comprising the "British Invasion" of the American music scene in the "60s." Mixing elements of country, Rhythm and Blues, blues, rockabilly, gospel, and pop, Holly developed a musical hybrid, resulting in a body of work that is as fresh today as it was in the 1950s.
His groundbreaking attitude toward experimenting and breaking out of set styles and formulas gave other music writers and performers the courage to do so as well, during a time when artists were encouraged to stick to "what works" and "what sells records." The Beatles, too, were a different type of band that would also forever influence the development of music. When they first began playing together, they played mostly covers of other groups' hit songs, from a variety of genres; part of their initial success came from their borrowing or dubbing over music which had already been a hit for other artists."
