Types of music

Artist can be split into two different categories.

Organic - Used to describe to describe bands where the music comes first. Then they may be signed by a record label.

Synthetic - X factor methodology and it is the record label that drives them to fame.

The Beatles are an example of an organic music. They were an English band which they formed themselves in Liverpool clubs in the 1960's. Their first hit in the Love Me Do made it in the top charts and made them popular in the UK. Then they later made it in the US charts as the 'British invasion'. They broke up in 1970, although they all had good music careers. The Beatles were the best selling artists in the US with 177 million units. They topped the Billboard and hold the record for the number of number one hits, as well as 10 Grammy awards. 



The Monkees are an example of synthetic music. They are a American band that released music in the 60's and 70's. They were made by Robert Rafelson and Bert Schneider for a TV series The Monkees. Which was a TV show about the lives of a band, although it wasn't really successful so then they turned into an actual band and their music began to sell.
