'''The Beatles''' were a famous rock band that flourished throughout the [[1960s]]. Their most iconic line-ups, and indeed, perhaps one of the most iconic line-ups in music history, was {{W|John Lennon}}, {{W|Paul McCartney}}, {{W|Ringo Starr}} and {{W|George Harrison}}, with each individual musician being an influential and famous musician in their own right. Though traditionally labeled as a rock and roll band, they dabbled in several genres and styles, such as Indian music and perhaps most famous, psychedelic and hard rock.
They have been referenced on several occasions throughout ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' with the unnamed [[Traveling Band]] being a direct parody of them and the place of [[Pepperland]] being a reference to their album, ''{{W|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band}}'' and film ''{{W|The Yellow Submarine (film)|The Yellow Submarine}}''.

* One of the more infamous photo-shoots about The Beatles was entitled "The Somnambulant Adventure". The character of [[Somnambula (disambiguation)|Somnabula]] shares her name etymology with the word Somnambulant, which means sleep walking.
* The Beatles have actually actually had more members than the Fab Four, namely {{W|Pete Best}}, {{W|Stuart Sutcliffe}}, {{W|Chas Newby}}, {{W|Jimmie Nicol}} and {{W|Tommy Moore}}.
