By an overwhelming margin of nearly three to one, the Beatles have beaten the Doors to become the second inductees into the 100% fan-voted Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame.
In their brief history together, no group single-handedly changed music — and the culture around them — as frequently or as much as the Beatles. To this day, they remain the most talked-about, written-about and influential rock band the world has ever seen.
The group’s recorded output is incredible in terms of sheer numbers (more than 200 recorded songs in eight years, plus four films and hundreds of concerts), diversity (everything from ballads to avant-garde) and — most importantly — quality. Even most of their very few detractors will grudgingly rattle off a handful of their favorite Beatles songs.

The late Beatles star's 'Bag One' collection of lithographs will be shown Friday through Sunday at Westfield Century City mall.
The Beatles were getting very near the end when John Lennon, in league with his wife, Yoko Ono, turned his attention to climbing another creative ladder — this time as a visual artist.
Early in 1970, he made his gallery debut with "Bag One," a collection of 15 lithographs — a handwritten poem and 14 drawings, eight of them sexually explicit — that celebrated his love for Ono and were drawn around the time of their nuptials in 1969.

On June 12, he takes center stage as the Grammy Museum launches 'Ringo: Peace & Love,' the first major exhibit focused on a drummer. Paul isn't the only Beatles alum still going strong. Ringo is keeping busy, too.
The drummer brings his All Starr band with him on a Latin American tour, kicking off on Oct. 29 in Sao Paolo, Brazi, and wrapping up on Nov. 18 in Monterrey, Mexico, before heading to Las Vegas for two shows (Nov. 22-23).
For those who don't already know, All Starr is a sort of aging rock star supergroup, with Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister), Gregg Rolie (Santana), Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera (Foreigner) and Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth band).
