There’s an expression in the classical music world, “The Three Bs”, and it refers to Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.

Why do The Beatles deserve to be in this lofty club of musical pioneers? Simple. They, like the others, changed the course of the music to follow. Join us. Find out why they deserve to be in the company of other greats.
