With a little help from some friends, The Beatles changed the face of popular music almost single-handedly throughout the 1960s. They began this mission as the four well-dressed Teddy Boys from Liverpool who wrote primarily of love and ended it looking like the cast of the live-action Scooby-Doo banging on about yellow submarines, meter maids, walruses, apemen, tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

While their material spanned a much wider variety of weird and wonderful subjects in the latter stages of the band’s creative journey, they still regularly found time for love. Possibly The Beatles’ most instantly recognisable love song is 1967’s ‘All You Need is Love’. Despite being credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership, the track was written by John Lennon and included in the Magical Mystery Tour film soundtrack.
