The band was often compared to the Beatles as regards the time period of its activity, its artistic and cultural influence and continuing popularity.
Illés was founded in 1960, but did not gain wider popularity outside of students' clubs until 1963. This was the era of the Hungarian language programs of 'Radio Free Europe' and 'Voice of America'
