The Beatles were creative, versatile and phenomenally talented.
The Beatles were also one of the most hardworking bands in the history of music. In 1960 they were invited to play in Hamburg. They had terrible pay, audiences that hated them and frankly horrific conditions. They played for eight hour stretches on stage sometimes for seven days a week. In 2 years all their trips there added up to over 270 gigs in Hamburg. This is more than some groups play in their entire career and this was before they launched a single.
By 1964 as they just started to really become successful it was estimated that they had done OVER 12,000 live gigs. This is far in excess of most recording artists and this was before they really got good.
The Beatles learnt through their time on stage to play a very wide range of styles and songs. By bringing together so many different disparate styles and influences they created something new, something that had never really been seen before.
The Beatles were also lucky to have a producer with a classical background who in turn introduced them to a whole new set of instruments and influences that they hadn't come across before. George Martin was an undeniable driving force in producing the later Beatles' sound but he is quite humble about it and claims to only have opened their minds to new influences, recording styles and so forth and that it was Paul and John who really did the work.
The Beatles were hard working, open minded and highly creative. They constantly strove for new ways to record their music and to push the boundaries of musical creativity. The rivalry between Paul and John was creatively constructive for years and produced an atmosphere where they were always trying to top each other and themselves.
The Beatles were a band that looked both forward to the possibilities of the future and back to an incredibly wide range of influences.
