When the Beatles first rose to fame in the 60's none of them had a mustache. In 1967, Paul had an accident on a scooter and chipped a tooth - to hide the chip, he grew a moustache. All the other Beatles copied him, as well as their two road managers (Mal and Neil). As someone said at the time; "they're all growing moustaches - even Yoko's trying!"
They were very famous in the 60s and 70sWell according to their interview in the 60's John said "we are even more popular than God at the moment." Fans chased them in the tour bus they chased them everywhere.Impossible to judge, but famously John Lennon was once quoted in 1967 as saying the Beatles were more popular than Jesus
Gerry and the Pacemakers. The song was actually offered to The Beatles but they turned it down.
Yes, the Beatles records still sell well today. Over one million copies of their albums are purchased each year. Since their debut over 2 billion copies have been sold.
During the 50's and the very early 60's, everyone was following the same sort of way of life in Great Britain. It had all been based around artists like Little Richard and Elvis Presley, but when artists like the Beatles came along with their completely different way of dressing and their very radical haircuts (not to mention their music which was very much like their haircuts), people just started buying their records by the millions. The reason for this was because the Beatles were different and the people wanted change, so one-by-one all the Elvis fans became Beatles fans and so on. Before anyone could grasp what was going on, the whole country was listening to them (And there is a similar story to the Rolling Stones as well). And that is why they had such a huge impact on the world. They were extremely popular, for lack of a better explanation. The fervor over The Beatles was unlike any band since them. Why were they popular? They made good music. The individual members of the band had interesting personalities which made them icons, and the songwriting ability of The Beatles is immense. The Rolling Stones were sort of the badass alternative to The Beatles (where most of The Beatles' earlier songs were pop songs, The Stones were considered hard rock at the time). Both bands spoke to a generation that was extremely pissed off at authority due to the war in Vietnam, civil rights, etc. And finally, both bands appealed to the drug culture that was increasingly prevalent in the 60's.

Depends on your preference. The Beatles actually helped pioneer rock and roll in the 60's. Without them there might not have been ACDC.
The answer is 4, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr.
