Being the best selling band in the US with 177 million units sold and topping the Billboard magazine's list of all-time most successful artists, you seldom find people around you who haven't listened to the UK based phenomenon, The Beatles. Despite it being decades since their prime, after the release of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) and the self titled record The Beatles (1968), people still listen to songs like "Yesterday", " Let It Be" and "A Hard Day's Night" with the same gusto that hovered over love struck teens in the '60s.
With their immense popularity and commercialisation, they often shadowed other artists around then that were equally active in expressing their journey through music. Some of them crafted their lyrics to a higher level and were divine in instrumental display. Below, I'm going to look at some of the artists who I believe should be better know for the music they've created during the initial rock pop era of the '60s and after.
