The Beatles
The Beatles were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Of the four, John was the most willing to be photographed nude. Above, he posed with his girlfriend Yoko Ono for the cover of the November 23, 1968 issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
Years later, he and Yoko graced the cover of Rolling Stone again on the January 22, 1981 issue.
In 1968, John and Yoko put out the album Two Virgins, with this full-frontal photo on the cover.
How could they sell the album with that naked cover? In stores, the album was covered with brown paper with a cutout for John and Yoko's faces and the album name Two Virgins.
John was even photographed sporting an erection in this photo with Yoko.
What about the other Beatles? I don't know if this nude photo of Paul McCartney is real or fake.
But this photo of Paul in the bathtub, taken by his wife, is real, including a peekaboo view.
There are apparently no unfaked nude photos of George or Ringo. We end with this 1968 pop art poster of all four Beatles by Richard Bernstein. It's art, not a photo, and it shows them all circumcised. In actual fact, Paul was circumcised, but John certainly wasn't. I don't know about George and Ringo. Oh, well.

Oh, John caused so much trouble with her.... LOL.
Interesting.
I remember seeing an album of John and Yoko in a record store in the 70's. I thought that attitudes had made real progress.
Paul was circumcised? I've never heard abouy it, are you sure??!!!
John justifiably proud of what he carried below the waist!!!
@Anon - Several sites online confirm that Paul was circumcised. According to one, Paul's brother Mike wrote in his book that he and Paul had both been circumcised at birth.
