In the newspaper article by "The New York Times" "Britains Succomb to Beatlemaina," they talk about the Beatles as they were first emerging in Britain. There were many frantic girls who would attack the Beatles in order to just simply touch them. It goes on to say, "By comparison, Elvis Presley is an Edwardian tenor of considerable diffidence." Knowing how famous Elvis was and the impact he had on music, this quote makes you realize just how influential the Beatles were. They're music's mix of both pop and rock and roll is what made their music stand out so much.
After reading this article, I realize the Beatles were more influential than I thought. They're unique sound contributed to their success. Referring back to the quote about Elivs, the Beatles were on a higher level than Elvis. You might think that's not a big deal, but truly that is shocking.
