Working Title:

The Influence of The Beatles

Brief description of proposal (please break this down into the Key Elements that you will consider)

Why is The Beatles music still influencing artists more than 30 years after they split up? What influenced their music growing up in late 1940s and 1950s Liverpool the type of music they listened to, rock n roll was a moral panic, The Beatles became a moral panic ain all the stood for, there music changed and shaped a generation I want to try to find out why.

Outline of the initial theoretical perspective used to discuss the elements of the project. (you will integrate theories from the 2nd half of the course later)

Moral panics, culture industry )Vietnam war was a big influence on john Lennon possibly more than the others in the fact he sent back his MBE in a gesture that he believed it wrong. Although the queen’s response was to send back her Beatles records to HMV. Looking at why there music was banned by the BBC an example being a day in the life Sub cultures also may be relevant here.
