The history of british rock groups in truth starts with the Beatles. The band's original incarnation was in 1957, when then sixteen year old John Lennon and many youngster buddies decided to create a orchestra. A month later Lennon met then fifteen year old Paul McCartney and invited him to join. Several months after that, McCartney invited fourteen year old George Harrison to hitch, and the origins of the Beatles was complete. They ended up writing songs and playing gigs under more than a few different names, as well as a few very bad ones in the vein of "John and the Moondogs." Ultimately Lennon's schoolboy links determined to go away the rock band for school, and Lennon, McCartney and Harrison ended up left as a trio who would play concerts every time they could find a drummer. They finally found a permanent drummer in Pete Best, and added a bassist named Stuart Sutcliffe. About that time they settled upon the name "the Beatles", and stage two of the story of the foremost famous of british rock groups was complete. As that quintet they trialled gigs both in their hometown of Liverpool and in Hamburg, Germany. When Harrison was deported for being underage, with Lennon and Best soon next for a liquor-fueled flammable scene, Sutcliffe determined to stay behind with his fiance and the quintet went back to a quartet. After a bit Best was replaced by Ringo Starr - this was in late 1961/early 1962 - and the Beatles were at this moment total. hit track and success single after triumph track and success single followed, and the British invasion was launched. British rock bands of every type almost immediately followed in the Beatles' wake. Perhaps one of the most eminent (after the Beatles, of course) were and continue to be the Rolling Stones. The Stones fashioned themselves after great southern bluesmen like Muddy Waters and played a more assertively bluesy style, heavy on distortion and power chords, than the Beatles did. Also coming out of Britain after that were The Who, a rock band which in some ways originated two subgenres of rock: Punk rock and progressive rock. They were also the initial of the british rock groups to make destroying the stage over the show a virtual art form.
