After years of holding out, the Beatles, one of the most critically acclaimed and widely beloved rock bands of all time, have finally made their albums available for download from Apple's iTunes music store. Initially, users will only be able to download entire albums, a format the Beatles helped pioneer and define, although single songs maybe become available as time goes on.
Initially, many of the Beatles contemporaries, like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, also resisted joining the online evolution. However, over the years each band eventually put their recordings up on the iTunes store.
