We know that a rock band (for example) generally consists of a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a bass guitarist and a drummer. I'm thinking of the Beatles, The Who, Guns N' Roses as examples. Where did this band structure develop and what was the first band to have this structure? Was it The Beatles? That is the earliest band I can think of with that type of structure.

Oh man, that's an extremely hard question. Capable of only the sketchiest of resolutions. The Beatles were probably not the first to do this. It seems like a variation on the big-band swing type set up. Only scaled down to the bare essentials. But then, before that there were jazz combos with similar if not exact set ups as the eventual rock group configuration. So I'm going to go with jazz bands, with the side note that I'm definitely going to be proven wrong in some way with enough research.
