10 More Things that made the Beatles Unique

10 More Things that made the Beatles Unique...

1.  Did you ever notice, the Beatles were all the same height?  This added to the synergy giving the 4 separate entities and power much more than the four individuals.   Check out the other groups of the time and you'll see many appearance differences.

2.  They all had thick hair.   Very crucial considering their hair was very unusual for the time and received a lot of attention and once again gave them a synergy different than other bands.

3. The English accents made them sound different here in America.  It was very unusual to hear, especially to an American kid.

4.  Their guitars were unusual to the 60's viewers.   The Gretch Country Gentleman, the Rickenbackers and of course the Hofner bass.

5.  Their producer ( George Martin) was classically trained and had a background in comedy records. It shows in the recordings.

6. Although it wasn't intended, the American records had a weird audio sound with total separation on vocals and music and selected instruments. I think it added to the uniqueness.

7.  Each Beatle could be the spokesman for the group. Old videos show that either Ringo, George, John or Paul could go toe to toe with the show's MC or announcer with funny repartee and quips. No other group could present that.

8.  The "Hard Day's Night" movie brought award winning talent in ( without the cost) for a really cool movie.  Every aspect ( even so called mistakes) was right on.

9. Having 2 unreal songwriters was enough, But Taxman, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes The Sun are some of the few classics that George Harrison wrote. Wow.

10. Paul McCartney played drums ( Back In The USSR, etc.) guitar ( Taxman, And Your Bird Can Sing etc) rhythym guitar ( Sgt Peppers) amongst a lot of other instrumentation.   No other band had someone on that level.

Well there's hundreds more reasons why the Beatles were so unique.  Keep posted!
