The Beatles!

I took American pop music in spring and it talked about the Beatles a little bit, It gave me a great impression and I would like to know more about them just like how I get to know Seattle music, I get to know Seattle better.

When talking about Seattle music, you don't wanna miss Nirvana but as an international student who seldom listens to Rock music, I had no idea who Nirvana was at first. lol

Seattle famous Grunge band

I believe what made Nirvana really successful was the Seattle’ open mind to all kinds of music (although there were also people who didn’t accept Grunge music) and the commercial action (which also indirectly caused the tragedy of Kurt’s suicide)

Before Nirvana, alternative music was a strange concept and unprofitable music genre. It was Nirvana who took punk, an underground music to the masses. At the same time, Band like Pearl Jam, Sound garden, Alice ln Chains emerged. Nirvana spread Grunge music into American musical culture. Things might be different if it’s not in Seattle. 

British musical invasion happened in 1960s and everyone was either watching their music show at home or went to the live. They aren't just music, they are legend!

the Beatles

In order to sort of know how to start this search project, I have emailed the guest professor who gave me their first lecture,  here was her suggestion:


    " One angle you might want to explore is the Beatles "industry" that is now very well  established. Liverpool, in particular, relies on attracting tourists - there's a bus tour called the Magical Mystery Tour, a Beatles museum, and an entire block of Mathew Street, with sculptures, stores, and the re-built Cavern Club. The bus tour goes by the addresses of the Beatles childhood homes and places like the Strawberry Fields orphanage and the barber shop featured in the song Penny Lane!"

She also suggested me a lot of Beatles-related sites in London but I will definitely visit Liverpool if I get the chance. Doesn't it sound so much fun? lol
