Band Compare/Contrast
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are two of the most popular and prolific bands that emerged during the British Invasion of the 1960s. While they became popular around the same time, each band had a unique style and sound. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones helped revolutionize music by introducing audiences to music they had never heard or experienced before.
