Answer
Hi, Yana, and thanks for your question! And what a question it is! I could go on for hours answering, but I'll try to make it short and sweet.

In my opinion, the Beatles were the first REAL band. Before them, all musical artists were mostly one main frontman (Elvis, Buddy Holly), and most of them had hired songwriters to write for them. The Beatles made it expected for artists to write, play, and produce their own material, rather than the assembly line system in which someone writes it and someone else sings it. This opened a huge floodgate of bands, commonly called the British Invasion, which included the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Animals, and the Kinks, among others. Many of the Beatles' practices are still being used today, making them immortal in the pantheon of rock artists.

As for where their music made bigger changes, I'd have to say both. The United States and England (along with the rest of the world) were dramatically impacted by the Beatles in one way or another.

I hope that answered what you wanted to know. Love live the Beatles.
