The Beatles are a prominent group.

Is it natural? Does it make sense?
Prominent=Widely known, right?
Is that the word's main definition?
It's an adjective, right?

Please, tell me any of that makes sense.

Hi WesternAmerican, Yes, it makes sense to my ears. Prominent could mean very well know and important. I might say ,'The Beatles were a famous rock group' or 'The Beatles are a prominent group in rock and roll music'.

Yes, I use the MSN. I just can't comprehend what you meant by sending an email to me the other day. I mean I don't remember disclosing my email address here.

Anyway, this is my MSN account: Email Removed

Personally, I won't use "prominent" to describe a rock band like the Beatles. To me, it's the right adjective used in the wrong context. No doubt you can use it to describe a leader, businessman, or a scientist. For a band, consider: legendary, hot, and celebrated.
