Which 1960s British quartet included Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon?

• A. The Rolling Stones
• B. The Kinks
• C. The Beatles
• D. The Who

Answer: (C)

Recognizing this lineup is about knowing which famous British group had John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The Beatles were formed in Liverpool in 1960 and became the defining act of the 1960s, driving the British Invasion with a string of iconic songs and albums. Their four members—Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr—were the exact quartet in the question, setting them apart from the other bands listed, which did not share this same four-person lineup.
