I know you will be nasty towards me, but I'm posting this information anyway,
But it's extremely ignorant,and ludicrous to call The Beatles a boy band and they *never* were! They were a always a great inventive,creative prolific genuine *rock, pop rock and rock n roll band from the start! I have a wordpress blog with tons of very strong great information that totally debunks this idiotic ludicrous common myth that the early Beatles were ever some stupid,uncool,talentless manufactured boy band who start as these geeky teen boys who just sing and dance, never wrote or played a note of music which every famous boy band is NSYNC,The Back Street Boys,New Kids On The Block,One Direction etc), including musicologists detailed analysis including University Of Pennsylvania ( 1 of the most prestigious ivy league universities in the US) graduate who did an extensive 11 year study and analysis of all 200 Beatles song,and it's online called Alan Pollack's Notes On Series,and he demonstrates that they were writing songs even in 1962,and 1963 with complex clever unique chords and arrangements even though most of their lyrics were more simple then.
University of Pennsylvania graduate musicologist Alan W.Pollack who did an 11 year extensive analysis of every one of the 200 Beatles songs, analyzes the 1962 John Lennon song I always loved, Ask Me Why and explains that it's structurally complex.
www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/AWP/amw.shtml Here is Alan's analysis of Paul McCartney's 1963 very good song All My Loving and he describes it as having a lot of complex chords and other unusual musical things.Many people have pointed out on music and Beatles fan site forums that John Lennon played great,difficult fast rhythm guitar triplets, well it turns out John( and George and Paul on bass) was playing a whole bunch of complex chords this fast and great!

Pollack's Notes on Series - ICCE WWW Info Here is an interview with University of Pennsylvania graduate musicologist Alan Pollack who did an 11 year study of all 200 Beatles songs, here he says The Beatles specifically John and Paul wrote what he calls chord anomalies which are very clever complex unusual including in their early music, and he said about these chord anomalies in their early music that people tend to underrate the first half of their catalog in this respect.

In 1989 the American musicologist Alan W. Pollack started to analyze the songs of the Beatles. He published his first results on internet. In 1991 — after he had finished the work on 28 songs — he bravely decided to do the whole lot of them. About ten years later, in 2000 he completed the analysis of the official Beatles' canon, consisting of 187 songs and 25 covers.

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R20NX3DOQL7FEO/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01IO7OHTU A male Beatles fan from the time he was a kid and from the time The Beatles came to fame,says he liked their tunes,lyrics and personalities and that contrary to impressions it was not only emotional young ladies who bought Beatles product and attended their shows.He gave a great review to The Beatles live album,The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl of their great 1964 and 1965 shows,
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R20NX3DOQL7FEO/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01IO7OHTU As The Rolling Stone Album Guide said, not liking The Beatles is as perverse as not liking the sun. And a guy Ken who runs Keno's Classic Rock n Roll Site a Rolling Stones and a John Lennon fan site says in his review of The Beatles 1967-1970 Blue Album damn The Beatles were one great group and he said in his great review of The Beatles 1962-1966 Red album, that if you don't love or at least like The Beatles and their music then you are not a true rock fan and more than likely will never ever get it.
He also says that John Lennon showed on Paul's rocker Get Back why he should have played lead guitar more often because he did such a good job of it. He also said he played a pretty good slide guitar on George's For Your Blue and he said John also played one of the first and best acid guitar parts on his great rocker Revolution.
And around 2005 a guy ignorantly called The early Beatles a boy band when discussing their early live concerts and Ken said to him,Oh hogwash!
The Rolling Stones Are His First Favorite Band & The Beatles are his second, calls The Beatles The Greatest Rock n Roll Band Ever here in his very good review of The Beatles first album,Please Please Me

He also said that the album had rock and pop songs and that it starts with Paul's I Saw Her Standing There which he calls pure rock and roll, and he said John's vocal on Twist And Shout,(which John sang so great with a bad sore throat from a bad cold) was hard rock before any hard rock was being done.
www.keno.org/classic_rock/album_reviews/please_please_me.htm Great reviews of The early Beatles albums by Brian Passey Here is his review of Please Please Me, The Beatles Debut Album Was Just The Beginning he says the album was the beginning of something special ,and says actually it wasn't just special it was monumental, it was the biggest thing to happen to rock n roll since it's invention a few years earlier. He then says, it was the beginning of the greatest band in history of not just rock n roll but of popular music.

www.thespectrum.com/story/entertainment/music/backbeat/2017/05/16/beatles-changed-face-rock-music-help/101751974/ Exhausted Beatles Still Shine on Beatles For Sale Brian rightly says that part of what established The Beatles as the greatest rock n roll band of all time, was the prolific nature of their early work.
www.thespectrum.com/story/entertainment/music/backbeat/2017/04/18/exhausted-beatles-still-shine-beatles-sale/100605752/ On July 13,2021 19 year old big Beatles fan reviewer Josiah Reynolds who is an inspiring singer song writer and who describes himself in his profile as a Beatles obsessive and who reviewed a lot of other classic rock bands albums, so rightfully says towards the end of his great review of The Beatles first great album Please Please Me recorded and played live in one day, in February 1963 , The Beatles were a boy band? Really? When and in what universe?
He then said even arguably their sweetest record do they pull out the rock and roll punches with their fantastic musicianship, and undeniably stunning vocals performing raw but well honed songs that echo the sound of their live performances in The Cavern brilliantly.
He then says, unquestionably Please Please Me is a 5/5 to me. I don’t see myself ever getting sick of this thing. It’s rock and roll bliss devoid of pretensions.
www.allmusic.com/profile/jennytaylia451/reviews/60ed39946498bcbbeaa2608cIn his All Music Guide review of The Beatles 1963 second album, With The Beatles Stephen Thomas Erlewine who wrote The All Music Guide's Rolling Stones biography,and reviews a lot of Beatles and solo Beatles albums, says at the end of the very good review that still the heart of With The Beatles lies not in the covers but the originals where it was clear that even at this early stage The Beatles were rapidly maturing and changing turning into expert craftsman and musical innovators.
Paul McCartney said in a 1994 interview that Mick Jagger came to John and Paul in 1963 and asked him if they had any songs for them because the Rolling Stones weren't writing anything of their own on their first several albums they were just doing cover songs.So Paul and John wrote the rock n roll song, I Wanna Be Your Man right in front of them, and in Bob Spitz's very good book,The Beatles he explains that as they were writing it John played Keith Richards guitar and Paul played Bill Wyman's bass and Keith Richards and Mick Jagger who were really impressed that they could just write a song just like that to order, and it became one of The Rolling Stones first hits, and it motivated them to start writing their own songs and both bands became friends from then on.
www.allmusic.com/album/with-the-beatles-mw0000192941In addition to The Rolling Stones, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were already such amazing song writers that they wrote hit songs for other music acts in 1963 such as Billy J.Kramer and The Dakotas,Cilla Black and Peter and Gordon in 1963 when their own song writing was getting off the ground.
Here is a great 2011 article about Goldmine Magazine's readers poll voted The Beatles The Best Overall, The Song Writing Team Of Lennon and McCartney And the author of this article Gillian Gaar says what I have always said and pointed out,that as early as December 1963 music critic of The London Times William Mann called John Lennon and Paul McCartney the outstanding English composers of 1963 and he analyzed and praised the clever,unusual complex chords they wrote even in their early songs like She Loves you etc.
And In this article it also says the the music critic of The Sunday London Times ( Hunter Davies says in his great 1968 only authorized Beatles biography called,The Beatles which he updated several times that it was classical music critic Richard Buckle) who called John and Paul the 2 greatest composers since Beethoven after they composed music for a ballet,Mods and Rockers.
Gillian Garr also says what I have always said, that John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote songs at such a prodigious rate in 1963 and 1964 that they supplied numerous other artists with hit songs as well as looking after the interests of their own group. He doesn't mention the music artists they wrote for in 1963,Billy J.Kramer and The Dakotas, Celia Black,Peter and Gordon and the rock n roll song I Wanna Be Your Man for The Rolling Stones which became one of their first hits.
From Me To You,and especially She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand were praised by some music critics even from the beginning, like William Mann of The London Times in December 1963 pointed out their interesting unusual chords and arrangements and London Times music critic Richard Buckle also in late 1963 called John and Paul the greatest composers since Beethoven after they wrote the music for a play Mods and Rockers.
www.goldminemag.com/features/best-overall-the-beatlesBob Dylan ,Roger McGuinn of The Byrds as early as 1963 and 1964 pointed out that even in early Beatles songs like She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand had unusual and interesting chords and they arranged them.Roger also has said that The Beatles unusually used folk rock chords in their rock n roll music and that they invented folk rock without even realizing it.
in an article about The Beatles chords,Bob Dylan is quoted saying what he thought in 1964 about The early Beatles music,he said that they were doing things nobody was doing and that their chords were outrageous, just outrageous and their harmonies made it all valid.

www.rollingstone.com/interactive/lists-100-greatest-songwriters/#john-lennon Roger McGuinn has said that he started to play a 12 string guitar after he saw and heard George Harrison playing in in the A Hard Day's Night movie.Roger also said that The Beatles unusually wrote folk rock chords in their rock n roll music and he said that they invented folk rock without even realizing it.
popcultureclassics.com/mcguinn.html John Lennon and Paul McCartney were such amazingly talented singer song writers that they were already writing hit songs for other artists as early as 1963 when their own song writing success was getting off the ground,besides The Rolling Stones,they also wrote hit songs in 1963 for Billy J.Kramer and The Dakotas,Cilla Black and Peter and Gordon
George Martin Says In This book his biography,All You Need is Ears,There's No Doubt Lennon and McCartney Were good Musicians,They Had Good Musical Brains and The Brain Is Where Music Originates,It Has Nothing To Do With Your Fingers,As It Happened They Could All Play Their Own Instruments Very Well,And that Paul is an excellent music all- arounder, probably the best bass guitar-player there is, a brilliant guitarist,a first class drummer and a competent piano player.
George Martin said in The Beatles early days he tried to learn to play the guitar in order to have a better musical communication between him and The Beatles,but he couldn't learn it and gave it up,but he says that John and Paul learned to play the piano far more quickly than he was able to master their instrument.

And when the interviewer asked him if playing in Hamburg Germany improved their playing,he said oh amazingly because before then they were only playing little bits and pieces but in Hamburg they developed a sound by playing hours,and hours and hours together,and that's how they really got stomping.
www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1971.0905.beatles.html There is a youtube video with musicologist, Beatles expert, musician, Scott Freiman who is the author of the book, and video series lectures, Deconstructing The Beatles Chords including their early music, Interview The Beatles: What Made Them Unique? They Had 3 Very Strong Song Writers Who Honed Their Craft By Playing hours and hours together, and this was by the time they recorded and played live on their first album, Please Please Me all in one day in February 1963
The Beatles: What Made Them Unique? -
I also met two people and know a third one who saw The Beatles in concert, one woman and one man who were my high school teachers one who saw them in 1966,and one who saw them in 1965 and the other is my second cousin who saw them at the Baltimore Coliseum when she was 16 in 1964, a year before I was even born and she became a psychologist. They all told me that they were close enough to them to see and hear the The Beatles and that they were great.
I'm sure that when teenage girls listened to The Beatles records and songs on the radio most of them weren't screaming,they knew what their music sounded like and they loved it.
In this 2016 BBC interview Larry Kane who interviewed The Beatles from 1964-1966 and says he was at 46 Beatles concerts and there wasn't a bad one among them.
He also said that he thinks Ron Howard's documentary (Eight Days A Week) is a reminder how good The Beatles were as musicians, that modern musicians will look at the puny sound equipment they had and will be amazed and that some concerts had the music going out on the stadiums public address systems.
www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-37355216 There is also very online good London Times review of the remastered The Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl album says it’s remarkable that The Beatles played as well as they did given that they couldn’t hear a thing beyond the screaming of 17,500 teenage girls. They should have also mentioned the poor very primitive and limited sound systems of the time and no feedback monitors so they also couldn’t hear themselves singing and playing but the amazingly sang and played great and in sync with each other anyway.
It rightly says that they were a lean and vibrant rock n roll band honed to perfection after toughing it out with five sets a night in rough Hamburg nightclubs

One of the greatest songwriters of all-time also helped write the book on rock and roll bass guitar.
There is also a great article by DJ Ken Dashow from classic rock radio station Q104.3 very accurately says in the description of The Beatles 1963 live performance of Paul's great rocking song I Saw Her Standing There,that Paul was already a killer bassist by the time the band broke through in America,his line from I Saw Her Standing There positively cooks with rock n roll walking bass excitement!

forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/1609889/were-take-that-the-first-boyband/p3 Back in the early 2000's on a classic rock forum they were discussing classic rock bands and some idiot called The Beatles a boy band, a poster Reverend Rock who was a reverend, rock musician and a big Beatles fan so rightfully said, that anyone who knows The Beatles history knows it's ludicrous to even suggest such a thing!
And in 2010 and I found it about 8 years later on a classic rock forum,they took a poll, Were The Beatles a boy band in 1964? And thank goodness that at least on there over 80% said no, and that they had female and male fans etc and a guy so rightfully said in the comments, that he thinks the very idea is crazy.
In this PDF file of several chapters from the book The Beatles And Their Revolutionary Bass Player by bass player Dennis Alstrand,he explains that Paul' McCartney's bass playing was already first rate in 1961 only months after he learned to play it which he got stuck with because John and George didn't want to play it, and he was not a bad bass player by 1963 and you can hear on The Beatles 1963 and 1964 recordings and live playing that he was already very good even on such primitive,limited sound systems with no feedback monitors so they couldn't even hear themselves singing and playing yet they still sang and played great and in sync with each other anyway.
And very limited,primitive recording technology recording technology and many people said this about his bass playing too in reviews of the remastered The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl album and I could hear this too just from 3 minutes of samples on amazon.com. Many people also said you can hear George Harrison's great guitar playing,Ringo's great underrated drumming,and John Lennon's great underrated rhythm guitar playing, and Paul became a great bass player starting on The Beatles late 1965 Rubber Soul album.

Relative obscurity for a while. '64/'65 were not banner years for the development of rock bass playing. As always, his playing was tasteful and right in the ... And Wilco's John Stirratt was asked in Bass Player in February 2005 which bass players have had the most impact on his playing and the first thing he said was, Paul McCartney is one of the greatest bass players of all time,if you listen to what he was tracking live in the studio it's unbelievable." "With his tone and musicality he was a huge influence,he covered all of his harmonic responsibilities really well but his baselines were absolutely melodic and inventive."

He too says that John and Paul are the greatest song composers and that to say that John and Paul are among 2 of the greatest singers in rock and roll is to state the obvious,and that John,Paul and George were all excellent guitarists and that George is underrated by people not educated about music but that Eric Clapton knew better,he also says that both John and Paul played great leads as well as innovative rhythm tracks.

36 Year old Beatles and music scholar Arron Krerowicz plays many instruments and writes his own music too
www.aaronkrerowicz.com/faq.htmlFAQ
You claim to be a “professional Beatles scholar”. What exactly does that mean? It means that I have no professional responsibilities other than analyzing, writing, and speaking about The Beatles....
www.aaronkrerowicz.comHere Aaron is interviewed recently on the youtube channel Musical U for Beatles month about how even the early Beatles were inventive in the chords they wrote and played.
The Simplicity And Sophistication Of The Beatles
www.musical-u.com/learn/simplicity-sophistication-beatles-aaron-krerowicz/ Also there is a November 1963 interview with The Beatles in Ireland on youtube on several channels, and the interviewer asked them why they had more female fans and Ringo said that they don't know. And obviously they didn't form as a genuine great rock n roll band who worked their backs off for years playing 8 hours a night in sleazy strip clubs in Hamburg Germany, from 1960-1962 taking speed pills to stay awake to do it, and John Lennon said every song was 20 minutes long and had 20 minute solos in them, and then they played successfully at their home town of Liverpool's Cavern Club for years,to get female hysteria that drowned out their great music, writing and musicianship!
And they had no life because they were mobbed everywhere they went and were trapped in hotel rooms the only perks were the many young women groupies they had sex with ,many who were the teen girls screaming in their concerts.
The early Beatles hair cuts in 1963,1964,and 1965 were actually quite long for the time,most men in 1963 and 1964 had short almost bald crew cut army hair cuts,and Brian Epstein had nothing to do with their hair cuts,they were created by photographer Astrid Kirchherr in Hamburg Germany before Brian Epstein even met them.
The early Rolling Stones and Eric Burdon and The Animals also wore matching suits and ties also and I have pictures of them on my Pinterest board which is appropriately called,The Beatles Were NEVER A Boy Band!
And The Rolling Stones had screaming teen girls at their concerts even up to 1966,and I have pictures of them and pictures of The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger on the covers and inside teen magazines in 1964,1965,1966,and 1967 and I found some on google that have The Beatles on the cover too.
Also there are many *male* famous successful rock and other types of musicians who say that when as kids they saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964,they thought they were really great and that they inspired them to go into music and become musicians.
Among the many are Tom Petty who said he thought they really great,Billy Joel,Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi said this and he was only 5 years old when he first saw them on this show,and Gene Simmons of Kiss etc etc.
There is also an online interview on the site Nola with 2 women who saw and screamed for The Rolling Stones as teens in July 1966 and here are pictures of them screaming in the concert.
One of these girls was 16 at the other was 15 almost 16 at the time and one of them said how cute Keith Richards was.One of the girl's mothers gave them smelling salt so they wouldn't faint. And I saw more pictures online of teen girls screaming for The Rolling Stones at 2 different concerts in 1965 one in Australia and the other in California.
There are also many pictures I have on my Pinterest board appropriately called,The Beatles Were Never A Boy Band of The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger by himself inside and on covers of Teen magazines in 1965,1966,and 1967
There are pictures of the very early Rolling Stones in 1963 wearing matching suits,vests and ties just like The early Beatles did with their fake cleaned up image their manager created for them in their early days and then The Rolling Stones manager took them out of the matching suits and ties and created their exaggerated ''bad boy'' image.
Here is a very good 1999 E! True Hollywood Story,The Beatles Wives which has interviews with people close to them and explains how truly sexually wild The Beatles were,especially the early Beatles during their touring years with their totally fake cleaned up image wearing the suits and ties many of these were young women groupies, many who were just teen girls who were screaming in their concerts, and in addition to all of the affairs with women they had while John,George and Ringo were married to their first wives and Paul had his girlfriend British actress Jane Asher since April 1963 just 2 weeks after she turned 17 years old and Paul was 2 months away from turning 21 and who became his fiancé on Christmas day 1967.
Then in early July 1968 Jane came home unexpectedly early from touring with her theatre company and she found Paul in their bed with another woman and she ran out of the house and Paul’s life forever devastated. On July 20,she announced on the popular BBC talk show Dee Time,that her engagement to Paul was off and they had been lovers for 5 years and they were engaged for 7 months by then.
All of this was totally left out of Ron Howard's totally sanitized inaccurate Eight Days A Week: The Touring Years documentary.
Here it is on my youtube channel,
www.youtube.com/channel/UCiyQgp9kn-7OkOkAIrxTezgThere are also many pictures I have on my Pinterest board appropriately called, The Beatles Were Never A Boy Band of The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger by himself inside and on covers of Teen magazines in 1965,1966,and 1967
There are pictures of the very early Rolling Stones in 1963 wearing matching suits, vests and ties just like The early Beatles did with their fake cleaned up image their manager created for them in their early days and then The Rolling Stones manager took them out of the matching suits and ties and created their exaggerated ''bad boy'' image.
In 1965 The Rolling Stones Were Asked To Wear Neckties By the Royals and the Illuminati
The Rolling Stones were asked to wear neckties in 1965 to create a demand for ties by young men as the neck wear industry in England was failing.
There are also online pictures of Eric Burdon and The Animals wearing matching suits and ties in the early mid 1960's.
There is an online interview on a site Nola with 2 women who saw and screamed for The Rolling Stones as teens as friends together in July 1966 one was 15 almost 6 and the other was 16 and here are pictures of them screaming in the concert and one of the women said how cute Keith Richards was, and one of the girl's mothers gave them smelling salt so they wouldn't faint at The Rolling Stones concert.
