The Beatles: part of the small “c” culture or big “C” culture?



If we talk about The Beatles, surely the image of the four members of this musical group comes to our head and maybe will sound in our mind “Yesterday” or the melody of the harmonic of “Love me do”. But, The Beatles are just that?
For a lot of people, hear  the word “Beatles” goes beyond: it evokes the musical and stylistic legacy that made this group, it’s just look back and realize that The Beatles made music as important like religion or education.
Personally I think that The Beatles have marked a before and after in the music history and in general in the humanity history, because with their job they have changed the conservative vision of the world to a more liberal vision and have changed the way of thinking of society.
The Beatles, as a transcendental musical group through the world history, deserve be part of the big “C” culture, and the fact that drive this opinion, is the appreciation from the Queen Elizabeth II in 1965, when she said that The Beatles were part of members of the British Empire (MBI), recognition which it is granted only relevant people of the culture or to leading members of the English army
So, what do you think? The Beatles as part of the small “c” culture or part of the big “C” culture?

  2. Definitely big C culture ! The Beatles transcends through all generations since they first appeared in the 1960's and hopefuly it will continue for many more generations. They've inspired and influenced many famous bands, and as you said, they marked and before/after in music history. And maybe not just in music history, in world's history too because there's certain kind of ideology they represent. :)

  3. Many people feel that The Beatles were not influential, but were simply the most influential groups in history (for some the most influential was) since changed the way we understand and transmit music since transformed the classic rock music to a close and simple ... Obviously, that as more groups like us young postBeatles not going to take this credit or mean that there is a low valuation. Today people prefer NoFX or LinkinPark, among others. However, The Beatles is one of those groups that until today, 50 years later, he continues to hear and still finding a supreme genius.
