The Beatles changed pop music forever. They also changed how musical groups were photographed -- at least in teen magazines. I went through my pile of old magazines and noticed a pattern.
The iconic image of the Fab Four showed the boys in a line, shoulder to shoulder, facing the camera, like this.
They posed this way with fans....
Even when they were getting their hair done....
Other groups followed the Beatles lead, including the Beach Boys, who even surfed in a row...
Paul Revere and the Raiders don't seem to enjoy the position quite as much...
The Rolling Stones were harder to herd. This is as close as they got to a Beatles pose.
But lesser known groups were happy to line up and mug for the camera....
By the 1970s, fewer groups posed like the Beatles. But ABBA gave it a try....
