The Beatles were never a Boy Band because they wrote their own music, played their own instruments, and appealed to a broad audience than just teenage girls. They were originally a Rock and Roll band that played thousands of hours in small venues around northern England and Germany honing their craft and went on to became a pop/rock band with huge influence on the creation of genres such as Progressive rock/pop, psychedelic rock, heavy metal and country rock.
Thank you for letting us know this information. Much appreciated.
You’re welcome.
I was just about to type the same thing before seeing your comment. Thank you! I hate when people call them that.
Well said
Thank you for this comment. A rock n roll band. Yes ! it's really annoying as F when people call them a boy band.
I was ten in 1963, didn't like Elvis but liked Buddy Holly and the Every Brothers, then came the Beatles and it was game over. Still my top favourite band, nothing compares to them, followed by Pink Floyd and CSNY. Met George Harrison at the British Grand Prix in the late 80's, he was very chatty and friendly discussing the forthcoming race, he also signed my Grand Prix programme. Great guy, gone too soon!!😁🇬🇧
as a 10 year old listening to this in 1965, this album opened my brain up to how wonderful music could be... and the best part was that it was "of the moment"... made the world seem alive and electric... every song is full of wonderful musical moments.. it still astonishes me how good it is 58 years later... the other thing about the Beatles was how they fuelled a generation gap.. when this album came out the consensus in the adult world, and the talk of parents at picnics and dinners (my mother was an exception) , still was to make fun of the Beatles and dismiss them as a teen fad... us 10 year olds listening to this album came to realize our parents, and the people in the media, didn't know a quarter as much as they thought they knew.. and once you come to that realization you start to question everything else you hear from them
I was there. A contemporary of that time. It was incredible. I was at their last concert at Candlestick Park
Lennon was 25 at the time and the song reflects the experience of a much older person, amazing!!! That drumming, you could write a book around it about how to serve the song
In 1965 I was 9 years old and I loved them, everybody in my family loved the Beatles and had all their albums.
The Beatles were never considered a boy band in my days. I was 14 in 1963. You cannot believe the impact if you didn't live it. Many musicians consider it the best song ever written. The slang contains bitchin, as in that car is bitchin and far out.
Not sure the term 'boy band' even existed back then. There was pop, classical, jazz, and folk in UK with country in US. They were pop, as were Rolling Stones. Then pop got subdivided into separate genres, with serious pop perhaps more akin to classical, jazz, or folk in ethos and moving away from radio for ladies in a clothing factory.
You could say Beatles created, among many other things, a template for young male harmony groups who appealed to a big market sector of mainly teenage girls. Many people made careers and genres out of one aspect of Beatles achievements.
Bee Gees were a harmony group who also wrote their own material. As are Take That. More recently, One Direction were a manufactured Pop Idol group of boy singers who weren't great individually but, eventually, took over their own destinies.
Thank you so much @johndavids4780 for your comment! Love it!
The Beatles preframe sounded more like punk band. They played their own instruments, and didn't perform choreography. Never a "boy band".
@@robertsaul234 Indeed..and while they were in Hamburg they were swearing and acting up on stage which wasn't really done up to this point..very punk rock..raw, rebellious and a little bit dangerous
Boy Bands came about as an attempt to recreate the magic of the Beatles. The Monkees are a prime example. Menudo, NSYNC, BTS, New kids on the Block, were fabricated. The Beatles were organic and they were actually capable musicians.
The Fab four!! I was 14 in 1963 and my sister was an usherette at the gaumont cinema in Bournemouth UK The Beatles played there for 2 weeks and my sister met them everyday!Later John would buy his auntie mimi a house just up the road in Sandbanks.The house today is called Imagine🇬🇧👍
Very cool info! Wow, your sister met them every day? I couldn't even imagine.
It's not the same house. Aunt Mimi's house was Harbour's Edge. Yoko put it up for sale after her death in 1991. It was bought by property tycoon Geoff Kaye for £410,000, who bulldozed Aunt Mimi's house in 1992 and built a new house on the plot. Whatever it's called, it's not Aunt Mimi's house.
@@markamos1911 hi it was panarama road sandbanks .www.dorsetlife.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/215EdPooleMimi5.jpg
The bungalow was knocked down and a house was built that is now called"imagine"
Rubber Soul was a great album, the way they evolve is not like any other group, so grateful they were apart of my childhood. Abbey Road was my favorite! Thanks for the memories.

@@galaxyjams I am sure you know the answer but before "The British Invasion" there were , mainly, solo artists in the Charts.:)
Rubber soul is a great album not was a great album. And first album Beatles were not on the cover.
Sally Kohurst, I used past tense because it was decades ago, but what is great today, people are bringing this iconic music back. Certainly makes me a happy camper.
The Beatles invented pop rock, and composed catchy tunes, but after a few albums they began to explore their musical creativity, experimentation.
Rubber Soul........best album EVER
Such a great album, yes!
I fell in love with the Beatles in 1969 at the age of 13. They speak to the young me and to my soul 🥰
It was voted the greatest song of all time.

This period was the Beatles mid period!! (in their time of world wide fame). They stopped touring august 29th 1966, Candlestick Park, the last show of the last tour ever for the Beatles. This album, Rubber Soul, was released on the 5th of December 1965!
Great to know, thank you for commenting! :)
Intricate backing vocals everybody seems to miss that part I mean throughout their career three part harmony
Their vocals were amazing indeed!
I liked Adam's comment about wanting to experience the Beatles as those of us who were contemporary fans of the Beatles. You can't realize how popular the Beatles were back in the day. They were so different from what came before. They were masters of melody. They coined a word for it, Beatlemania. Just look at any concert film or crowd reaction to any appearance of the Beatles to show how loved they were by their fans. They had such massive influences on the development of rock and as well as cultural issues it hard to convey as there's nothing like it now. The 60s themselves also served as a catalyst and backdrop for social change, civil rights, sexual revolution, the anti-war movement, drug use and a time when we first were becoming aware of environmental and woman issues. All these issues resonated with the younger generation and was found in the social commentaries of the group members (especially John Lennon) as well as in the music of the Beatles and practically every rock group in the mid to late 60s. I guess you can watch documentaries to better get a feel for the times.
Very nice! Thank you for letting us know that.
Rubber soul is a great album and they made it quick so it came out by christmas 65 and then Revolver really quick too and all the songs were amazing. How they did both albums so quick and the music so great.? No bands will do that again. And then 1967 well Sgt Pepper which paul thought of and the album cover. Well another masterpiece. So much music in 8 to 10 years of being a band. Incredible and i was there loving rheir music and SAD when they broke up as i feel paul wanted to do more albums. They were so good. And also not 31 yet the members i meant. Beatles are royalty. Some of their music records may fall but they were the 60's!
.
"this is one of their earlier ones" ?? When I first heard this song I thought it was 'famous them' looking back on their earlier days and their rise to fame! Being from Liverpool... I first heard of the Beatles when I was a small child and looked out of my bedroom window and across the street under the lamplight was two of The Beatles (who had appeared at the local Town Hall) kissing two of my cousins.... My mother was calling across to the though!! Saying " Hey ! .. Those two have got school in the morning! " My cousins for years later said "if only for Aunty May..." 😭😭😭😭
WOW! LOVE THIS!! What a great story!
Which two were kissing your cousins?
Where, O, where did you come up with the idea that "They were considered AT THE TIME as a Boyband???"
This is 1965, they didn't stop touring, until 1966!

Within around 9 years The Beatles changed music totally. You had to live it but it's still so hard to explain. The difference between 1962 & 1970 is stark. They were simply The Beatles. I wish it WAS that simple
This song will be played at my funeral.
They were still touring during this album
The Giles Remix of this album is going to be unreal 🔥
Oh that Ringo and his musical hooks
‘Rubber Soul’ was the first Beatle record that contained all original material, a lot of folks say it was their best. Hard to argue that.
A Hard Days Night was the first The Beatles album that contained music written solely by band members.
The Beatles had many musical changes. The very early Beatles were a punk band, one would say today. The time in Hamburg, where they played in black leather clothes in the nightclubs of Hamburg. Only then did they become a little more well-behaved for EMI . Stuart Sutcliffe was John Lennon's best friend at the time and played bass in the band. But he was more of a painter and fell in love with the young photographer Astrid Kirchherr in Hamburg and left the band to attend art school in Hamburg. He died 1962. There is a very good movie about that time called Back Beat
Love this info, thank you so much!
@@galaxyjams There are recordings from the time, unfortunately only from 1962 in the Hamburg Starclub. They played in Hambug for a long time in various clubs. Photos of Astrid Kircherr can be seen e.g. on the John Lennon cover "Rock'n"Roll where the young Lennon stands in a doorway etc. You can also hear early versions of "I saw her standing there" etc. on the double album Beatles Live at the Star Club, etc. The music is very reminiscent of punk bands from England at the end of the 1970s The Beatles, especially John Lennon, met Klaus Voormann there in Hamburg. The Beatles always remained friends with Astrid and Klaus. Klaus Voormann also plays on many albums by Lennon and Harrison. Also legendary are the trips of Lennon, Voorman, MC Cartney and Kircherr to Paris, but these are completely different stories. On the other hand, Johnny Rotten's debauchery is nothing at all 😅
had forgotten to mention. Klaus Voormann also made the Beatles cover for Revolver
Imagine writing this at 24 years old, no need for 15 writers and 20 producers...
It's tremendous
❤❤
😍😎😍😎😎😍😎
Although they did know the different chords none of them could read or write music on paper. If you put a piece of sheet music down in front of any of them they would be lost! They all just jammed a melody and worked it out. Paul was asked what they would do if they had a hard time remembering a new melody during practice and Paul said that they would just abandon the song thinking that if they couldn't remember it in only one or two days then it was a pice of crap song.
In Beatles Lyrics, edited by Hunter Davies, one classic early days story was when unable to read the music handed to them by a stripper at a Liverpool strip club they played Ramrod instead! "Their view was that being properly trained would only hold them back. Not knowing the rules allowed them to break the rules."
This is the song that critics said labeled John as a genuine song writer.
PLEASE don't refer to the BEATLES as a "boy band"! That drives me AND OTHER Beatles' fans crazy, when SO MANY younger people call them that. NO ONE EVER refers to the ROLLING STONES, THE KINKS, THE ANIMALS, GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS, THE DAVE CLARK FIVE, THE WHO, THE BEACH BOYS, etc, "Boy Bands" The term "Boy Band" did NOT EXIST back then. It started with groups like New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, & NSYNC, which are NOT "BANDS" at all. They play NO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (but the Beatles DID), and just do elaborate DANCE routines WHILE they are SINGING (which the Beatles DID NOT) . I don't know WHY these groups were even referred to as a "band"? The proper term for them would be "Vocal Groups" The Beatles were simply called a "rock and roll group" OR a "rock band" at the time. There were many groups that had males/boys in them back in the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s and were NEVER called "boy bands" It's a 90s thing. Sorry, I will get off my "soap box" now ( I hope you know what that means...lol)
You've sparked such a huge debate on our Facebook page with this comment lol
Totally and utterly correct Patti!! Really happy to see your comments, absolutely spot on!! I have made almost the exact same comment on here, well said and factually correct, brilliant.
@@galaxyjams Because what Patti has said is factually correct and spot on! Anyone who is saying different is clueless and ignorant. What a joke that it is even being discussed....
I get into arguments with a lot of, particularly younger people, on this subject. They don’t appear to know exactly what the term “Boyband” means. It’s very annoying.
JUST POETRY WITH MUSIC.Me and my friend listened to the beatles since 5 years of age.Now 55 years on I am the walrus next.😮😂😮
Wistful 🥺 🥲
And the beginning many of the beatles songs had that little message to the girls like I wanna hold your hand R
Love me do.. But the beatles got tired of that's type of songs and started making songs that they themselves Want to listen to It may have happened a little before Rubber soul .But rubber soul was is the first album that featured all songs like that.
There was the Beach Boys before the Beatles , but they did not rock like the Beatles ,songs TWIST & SHOUT and I SAW HER STANDING THERE and SHE LOVES YOU ect.. there was nothing like them before !....
Absolutely, agreed. The Beach Boys were tame in comparison.
The Beach Boys weren't around before the Beatles, although purely from an american perspective the beach Boys would appear to have been before them, because, the Beatles didn't come to America until 1964!! But by that time the Beatles had already released two albums and five singles and three E.P's before they even went to America. So, for Americans, they didn't "have" them until 1964. The Beatles had been a band since 1957/58 with John, Paul and George and not always known as The Beatles. They went through so many name changes.
I always thought that WAS a harpsichord on the instrumental break... They were never a boy band... That's a term normally given to a group of male singers that don't play instruments
Two misnomers I've heard from these people. Boy band and TeleTubbies. Rubber Soul was released in December of 1965. It signaled the maturing songwriting of the group. Lennon contributed Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, Girl and In My Life. McCartney wrote Michelle, I'm Looking Through You, Drive My Car and You Won't See Me.
There were no "boy bands" in the 1960s. The term wasn't used for many years after the group split. I've never heard of The Rolling Stones being called a "boy band" either. Same era. The Beatles stopped touring in late 1966. Sgt Pepper came out in 1967.
"Groovy" - "Far Out", don't get me started.
I was a kid around this time and can tell you even then we all thought the Beatles should be on their on radio channel because they didn't really fit in with anything else. Probably helps explain the lack of critical enthusiasm or awards for the most part while they were an active band. They did not come up the usual way and I think the industry always resented them for it. They were like this art school garage band that didn't ask permission to be there and did their own thing, changing all the time. Word of mouth was how they broke through with a music producer who had only done comedy and classical albums and then some DJs who took an interest with fan support. Even after they got some hits in the UK, EMI's American subsidiary just sat on their music for a year. I still resent it lol
Great story, thank you for sharing your experience.
the Beatles threatened the status quo of the music business pumping out formula garbage ... people wouldn't buy that anymore once they heard the Beatles
You are not quite right about a couple of things. They did have critical enthusiasm from the press (they LOVED the Beatles) and also for their music from classical music icons at the time, like Arthur Fiedler, the conductor, who put out 4 albums of his symphony orchestra playing nothing but Beatles' songs during the '60s. Leonard Bernstein also praised them.
They won 5 GRAMMY awards : 1965 for "Best New Artist".... 1965 for "Best Performance By a Vocal Group" ( "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT") ..... 3 Grammys in 1968 for "Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Performance," for "Best Pop Vocal Album, & "Album of the Year" all 3 of those categories were for their album "SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARS CLUB BAND." They were NOMINATED for 14 other Grammy's for their music from 1965 through 1970. THERE are too many different awards to list here in detail. But up until 2017 (starting in 1963) for awards given around the world, W = WINS, N = NOMINATIONS :
American Music Awards.... 11 W, 11 N
Brit Awards....4 W, 4 N
Grammys....11 W, 28 N
Ivor Novello Awards.....15 W, 21 N (U.K)
NME POLL WINNERS...... 17 W, 17 N (UK)
World Music Awards..... 3 W, 3 N
Academy Awards (Oscars).... 1 W, 1 N ( In 1971 for "Best Music (original song score) in a movie" for their 1970 movie
"LET IT BE" )
Besides the ones listed above, there are 12 other various awards that they have either won or were nominated for up until recently from around the world, which will give you more detail. Just look up list of all awards the Beatles have won or were nominated for, and you can see for yourself. They didn't lack any recognition.
Also they didn't get a break through by "word of mouth" with producer George Martin (with Parlophone Records, a subsidiary of EMI) who had only done comedy and classical albums. It was by their manager Brian Epstein who went with an audition tape to multiple record labels who ALL turned them down. Even after that, he didn't want to give up and that is when he approached EMI, his last option. They were not interested and so sent him to Parlophone and George Martin. He decided to give them an in person audition, and the rest they say, is history. So really it was Brian Epstein's TIRELESS EFFORTS in London to get them signed. He KNEW they were going to be big someday, and he was right IF he couldn't secure a label for them at Parlophone, the Beatles were going to give up on that dream. SO really, if it wasn't for Epstein, the world would never have had the Beatles.
@@patticrichton1135 They won 7 grammys.
A band so big they had to stop touring because there was so much hysteria around the Beatles that the police couldn’t contain the audience. Everywhere they went there was pandemonium. They also were a cultural phonomen where the 60s started with crew cuts amd suits and ended with colored glasses and flowers in the hair. Not to mention the two both successful song writing duo in history. No band will ever come close.
At this point, Lennon was influenced lyrically by Bob Dylan.
🇧🇷👏❤️
😃😃😃😃
Their music changed after Bob Dylan met them and told John Lennon that they wrote some nice tunes, but they didn't have anything to say.

Halting their touring didn’t have nearly as much of an effect upon their music at this time as their meeting up, hanging out, & being introduced to marijuana by Bob Dylan.
Thank you BOB!
It seems that the dictionaries disagree with me. I think of a boy band as something constructed by a corporation. They'll choose a "cute one", a "rugged-looking" one, a hispanic one, etc. who can sing, the point being as that they want the young girls to be attracted to at least one of them, so they'll buy their music. I would like to mention that the term, "boy band" did not exist until the 1980's.
Twaddle
They were considered to be a boy band? You’re out of your element, my friend, take it from someone who was there.
Thank you so much @raymeedc for your comment! Love it!
This is the time they met Dylan and pot.
It was a good time I am sure.
John Lennon said this was their "pot-album". Yes, they met Dylan then but were influenced by him already earlier.
They had already met Dylan in 1964!!!
No, they met Dylan before this time!! Do your research.
@@paulcollins7185 You wrote it twice and I know. "This is the time" is surely not meant in a chronological way.
Boy band? Oh lordy.
Everyone has an opinion @johnm9845, we appreciate you taking the time to share yours! :)
My god. The Beatles were never a boy band!
In 1965 the words ‘boy band’ were never even used in the same sentence. It’s insulting to hear it now after all they have done. Cant be a ‘boy band’ at their ages, even starting out. Boy bands are mostly in their teens.
The Beatles were never considered to be a Boy Band. Boy Bands do not play their own instruments. You clearly know very little about the Beatles.
Well they are boys in a band,lol, but compared to today's boy bands I totally get what you are saying.
THANK YOU, GLAD to read someone ELSE besides ME say this. I just did my "rant" above about calling them a "boy band" Especially since that term didn't exist back then. I think they also know very little about that time period and what the groups at that time were called. NEVER a "boy band"
Actually NSYNC wrote and produced their own music. Here is a video of them playing instruments even though it's a cover song. czcams.com/video/L03AuXD3EYs/video.html
@@galaxyjams No bloody comparison! NSYNC are a synchronised dancing karioke "singing" clap trap manufactured industry collective!!!
@@bkm2797 The Beatles were Great British working class men with the ages from 21 to 25 by 1965!! and made their living as a rock 'n' roll group coming up through the 1950's, working their very long apprenticeship, in the tough clubs of Liverpool and the North West of Great Britain! and in, Hamburg in W. Germany where they played 8 hours a night! earning their crust and developing their craft.
Host has no clue, "a boy band" and "one of their earlier songs" errrrrrrr
If this song reminds you of "staring off into a sunset..." You are deaf and dumb...mostly dumb...

"The Beatles" were NEVER a "boy band" -- research their history in Hamburg before they had a recording contract.
To characterize them as such is ignorant and stupid.
A boy band🙄
The man with the beard is wrong! ...in the early 60's, The Beatles were NOT considered a "boy-band (which is a term from the late 90's for all male groups with great harmonies who didn't play their own instruments, or write their own songs). The Beatles were the roughest toughest sound in the early 60's. I shut the video off after that comment!
