The Beatles: Rock Band
The Beatles: Rock Band is a 2009 music video game developed by Harmonix, published by MTV Games, and distributed by Electronic Arts. It is the third major console release in the "Rock Band" music video game series, in which players can simulate the playing of rock music by using controllers shaped like musical instruments. "The Beatles: Rock Band" is the first band-centric game in the series, and it is centered on the popular English rock group the Beatles. The game features virtual portrayals of the four band members performing the songs throughout the band's history, including depictions of some of their famous live performances, as well as a number of "dreamscape" sequences for songs from the Abbey Road Studios recording sessions during the group's studio years.
The Byrds
The Byrds were an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. The band underwent multiple lineup changes throughout its existence, with frontman Roger McGuinn (known as Jim McGuinn until mid-1967) remaining the sole consistent member, until the group disbanded in 1973. Although they only managed to attain the huge commercial success of contemporaries like the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones for a short period in the mid-60s, the Byrds are today considered by critics to be one of the most influential bands of the 1960s. Their signature blend of clear harmony singing and McGuinn's jangly twelve-string Rickenbacker guitar was immediately absorbed into the vocabulary of popular music and has continued to be influential up to the present day.
The Beatles
The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963 their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.
About a Girl (Nirvana song)
"About a Girl" is a song by American rock band, Nirvana. It is the third song on the group's debut album, "Bleach" (1989). It is also the first song on the posthumous "MTV Unplugged in New York" album from which it was a single in 1994. "About a Girl" was written after Kurt Cobain spent an entire afternoon listening to "Meet The Beatles!" repeatedly. At the time, Cobain was trying to conceal his pop songwriting instincts, and he was reluctant to include the song on "Bleach" for fear of alienating the band's then-exclusively grunge fan base. In a 1993 "Rolling Stone" interview with David Fricke, he explained:  However, "Bleach" producer Jack Endino was excited about the song, and even saw it as a potential single.
Let It Be (The Replacements album)
Let It Be is the third studio album by American rock band The Replacements. It was released on October 2, 1984 by Twin/Tone Records. A post-punk album with coming-of-age themes, "Let It Be" was recorded by the band after they had grown tired of playing loud and fast exclusively as on their 1983 "Hootenanny" album; the group decided to write songs that were, according to vocalist Paul Westerberg, "a little more sincere." "Let It Be" was well received by music critics and later ranked among the greatest albums of the 1980s by AllMusic and "Rolling Stone" magazine. Now considered a classic, "Let It Be" is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best rock albums, being ranked number 241 on "Rolling Stone"s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The Monkees
The Monkees are an American rock and pop band originally active between 1965 and 1971, with subsequent reunion albums and tours in the decades that followed. They were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for the American television series "The Monkees", which aired from 1966 to 1968. The musical acting quartet was composed of Americans Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork and British stage and television actor and singer Davy Jones. The band's music was initially supervised by producer Don Kirshner, backed by the songwriting duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
Yellow Submarine (album)
Yellow Submarine is the tenth studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 13 January 1969 in the United States and on 17 January 1969 in the United Kingdom. It was issued as the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name, which premiered in London in July 1968. The album contains six songs by the Beatles, including four new songs and the previously released "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love". The remainder of the album is a re-recording of the film's orchestral soundtrack by the band's producer, George Martin. The project was regarded as a contractual obligation by the Beatles, who were asked to supply four new songs for the film.

Your mom have "Beatlemania!" That's what fans called it back in the 60s. They had so many great songs, but I think my favorite is She Loves You.
