Artist Bio. - The Beatles

In my humanities class we are doing a project all about music. In this part of it we have to write a lyric analysis. For my pop music project I chose the song “We Can Work It Out” by The Beatles. The Beatles career first started in 1957 in Liverpool, England. They are known for being a British rock band. Before they were all together John Lennon and Paul McCartney had always been together. Once they broke up with their old band and got together with Ringo and George. They were first called the Quarrymen then they changed it to The Beatles. Some of their most popular songs are Yesterday, Something, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Should Have Known Better, And I Love Her, Let It Be, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer and, The Long And Winding Road.

They are from Liverpool, England. They met while Lennon was performing with his skiffle band and they were all preforming to. Now they play rock music and each song is about something different and there isn't one main topic on the songs. Their music changed because their songs used to be about love and girls then their songs went to be about politics. In the band there is Ringo (Richard Starr), John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. They all played every instrument and were very talented. They got most of their inspiration from things around them and even circus posters. Some of the people they were influenced by were Nat King Cole and Elvis. They weren't unusual but their songs were so good that when one song is listed on a list of songs the only reason why it wouldn't be at the top is because one of their other songs was number one.

They had a big impact on society because what ever they did people would follow or if they told people to do things they would do it. The biggest reason they broke up is that Johns wife didn't like the fact that he played music and then he chose his wife over his music. Then after that two of them died and the two that are still alive now are Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney.

Tori, I think that Jade made a good point. You have all the info needed but it reads like a list. Can you use some transitions to make it flow?
Get a new lead too.

Look at this. First of all it does not make sense. Secondly, you have a mojor run-on sentence here. These are 2 aspects of your writing that you need to work on.
