THE BEATLES – PHENOMENAL FOUR
Surely there is not a single person in the civilized world who has ever heard of The Beatles.
The phenomenon of this four is still trying to unravel music historians, critics and music lovers.
Can anyone explain such a massive popularity and truly popular love for British musicians who in the 1960s turned the world upside down.
At the origins of The Beatles
It is impossible to even imagine the culture of the past century without the legendary four The Beatles.

GENESIS – Pioneers of Art Rock
The development of rock music in general and its intellectual direction in particular is impossible to imagine without the British band Genesis. It was she who turned into the channel of epic art the avant-garde progressive rock, which was opened by Pink Floyd. If other groups followed the direct connection of classical motifs with modern music, Genesis became the pioneers of art rock – a completely new musical art.
British Genesis
Five members of the Genesis group, who stood at its origins, became one of the most respected figures in the international rock movement. They began their rehearsals while still young students. This happened within the walls of the famous English Charterhouse school. The original composition of Genesis was formed due to the merger of the two school groups. Peter Gabriel was engaged in vocals, Tony Banks became the keyboard player, Anthony’s Genesis Phillips became the guitarist, Mike Rutherford played the bass guitar, and Chris Stewart conjured for the drum set.
