The Beates started as
a averagea 'boy band', When they first started out they all had different clothes and hairstyles. after they Met Brian Epstien, hey basically got beatles their trade mark look - all pre-packaged up with their identical suits and
'mop-top' hair styles. Their first songs were similarly just generic pop songs.
(Don't get me wrong, I still like those first songs). But they were in the
right place at the right time - and became really successful. After
a while, they did in fact start experimenting with drugs like marijuana and LSD.
By the time Sgt. Pepper came out, they all had mustaches and had started to
develop their own individual songwriting styles. I think this devolopment was
in fact a result of changing societal attitudes. People had started getting
tired of 'cookie-cutter' bands and songs. The Beatles came through - with a
vast amount of new and different songs.
They have been a huge influence on basically every serious musician ever since Beatlemania hit. From country, to rock, pop, classical - every music genre you can think of.
I know most of their songs - after all, I've listened to them for a while now. Everyone has their favorite Beatle, I have two, one of mine is George Harrison (RIP George). I just found his songs to be really spiritual and meaningful. His lyrics and chords are very good. If you want, look up 'All Things Must Pass' on YouTube for an example.
Another example from George is the song 'What is Life'. The video on YouTube shows a lot of pictures that show how his appearance changed. Don't let the somewhat too much trebly Indian sound deter you - listen to the lyrics. That was George - he got into the spirituality of Hinduism and it shows. That was from the post-Beatle years circa 1970-1971.
-------------------
And finally, here's a classic from the Beatle's final performance atop their Apple Records studio in England. You can really see that they have all become individual artists with their own looks, but yet they are still a great band, and you can also tell that they are having a great time playing together. It's 'Don't Let Me Down'. It's basically an anthem for me and my best friends. It's our song. I won't let them down if they need something, nor will they let me down if I need something. I'm pretty sure it's a Lennon wrote the song, but that doesn't matter. They are all obviously into it.

I am the Walrus -
Here is an example of a song from the final album Let It Be, this video shows that each individuals of the band have become their own person, totally independent and different individuals from each other.
