The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.
Gregg Allman

The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
George Harrison

The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
Brenda Lee

The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.
Robyn Hitchcock

The Beatles will exist without us.
George Harrison

The Beatles will go on and on.
George Harrison

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.
Alex Van Halen

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, these are just some of the people who threatened to sue if we used their songs.
Colin Mochrie

The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s.
Gavin Rossdale

'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
Chris Cornell

The big turning point, really, was the Beatles' influence on American folk music, and then Roger took it to the next step, and then along came the Lovin' Spoonful and everybody else.
Barry McGuire

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
George Harrison

The first time I heard The Beatles, I cried. It was 'Let it Be'.
James Durbin

The first year with the success that we had and let me point out that the time frame changes depending on which decade you look at it. In the seventies acts were kind of expected to do an album a year. If you look at the Beatles they were doing three a year.
Gerry Beckley

Then on to all the terrific american songwriters, from Tin Pan Alley to the Beatles, from Bob Dylan to Paul Simon. Whoever wrote and sang in the song form I have appreciated.
Tom Chapin

There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.
Paul McCartney

There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing.
John Deacon

They said hey look, The Beatles deserve to be number one, not Bobby Vinton. We're gonna cut your tires. Change that listing. They were dedicated at the time.
Bobby Vinton

We idolized the Beatles, except for those of us who idolized the Rolling Stones, who in those days still had many of their original teeth.
Dave Barry

We listened to a lot of Rolling Stones and Beatles records when we were recording. They were really good at not playing loud, but generating really big sounds out of everything.
