Fill in the blanks

Simple. Each question consists of a group of words or terms, which are all connected. (either by a common theme, or by the fact that they belong to a special series) You have to fill in the blanks (and give funda, if you feel like it). Most of the questions are very easy, so this should be a high-scoring quiz.

Give your answers in the comments to this post. Encrypt using rot13 (rot13.com) please. Answers in a week.

1. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, _______

Answer : Ringo Starr, of course.
