Too late to undo my vote.

I grew up with them and they have always been my favorite band.  I guess it was wrong to choose 'very obsessed' tho, as I am really not.

Favorite band, but not obsessed. I love music way too much to dedicate myself to just one band.

I consider myself to be a " dedicated " Beatles fan because I don't have everything with the Beatles name on it like hardcore fans do, I became aware of the Beatles back in 69 listening to them on the radio in the back of my parent's car when I was about 5 years old, I didn't know their history, their classic rock albums & their solo albums at the time until 75/76!

A little obsessed. I've never been one for collecting Beatles mugs or finding out what Ringo had for breakfast on a certain but from 14-16, i listened exclusively to them, learned all the rythym guitar and bass for their songs and read endless books on them. it wasn't something i ever thought about, i just did it. Only downside is that other music tends to pale next to them melody-wise but i do like a lot of other stuff.

Quick word about Oasis. i'd like to sat that that Beatles-copiers tag was a media hype that Joe public who knows b'all about music chose to believe because they weren't likeable public figures. they certainly had a beatles-type optimism about their music but that's a good thing, isn't it?? i should note that they did do 4 incredibly blatant steals of riffs/sections.

1-'Don't Look Back In Anger' intro exactly like 'Imagine' intro
2- 'Cigs & Alcohol' riff exactly the same as 'Get It On' riff
3- 'Hello' chorus exactly the same as 'Hello' by the Glitter band
4- 'She's Electric' outro exactly the same as 'With a little help from my friends'

A few playful steals of small snatches of other songs is hardly copying a band is it? I'm sure any musicians on this forum would agree they were a bit hard done by.  Sorry to break off the point by the way, it just came to me.

My beatles purse is around here somewhere and so is my $15 Beatles button. If you saw my reaction when I saw the button you would be able to see that I'm obsessed. lol ;D

the First Rock group that i got inot was the beatles. The beatles introduced me to Led zeppelin Queen and The Eagles The Doors and lots of other great classic rock groups. i used to listen to them ALL the time. But now that the beatles have introduced me to other music i dont listen to them as much But i still do listen to them and they are the all time best band ever and they are my favorite Band!

Number14

The folks over at the "910" magazine coined the perfect name for the type of anal/obsessed Beatles fan that can cite chapter and verse on the differences between the mono and stereo mixes of "Don't Let Me Down", what Paul ate for breakfast on 7/3/75, blah blah blah..."Beatard".

I'm one of them.

It's one of my favourite bands (the other one being Throwing Muses).

I call myself a little obsessed, because I collect all different takes of Beatles songs... (I concentrate on The White Album though). I do listen to tons of other music!

i'm very obsessed by them. i like a lot of other rock groups, but i,d have a museum full of Beatle things if i could afford it. My wife says i know more about them than my own relatives. true in some ways,but when you have studied and followed the lives of the group for 40 years,they almost seem like family.

Anybody who knows me would say that I am obsessed with them.  I have my little "shrine" in my living room, along with my framed Beatles posters on the wall.  If it weren't for my husband, my two daughters would be named 'Penny' and 'Abbey'.

I guess I am obsessed after all...

I have almost all of them thanks to the wonders of file sharing (although I own releases on cd from all of them, including both Lennon boxed sets). Don't tell the RIAA.  :P
Downloading "Thrillington" as we speak....I'm basically only missing the post Goodnight Vienna/Pre Time Takes Time, Ringo albums along with Sentimental Journey..I don't have any of the nonstandard Paul albums either (Family Way, classical stuff, ambience/techno)...but I'll keep trying until I find 'em.

We should rank all of the studio albums in a thread.....that would definitely be interesting....would take some time to go through it all though. But I'm obssessive enough to sort them.  ;)

Learnt guitar with the 101 Beatles busker songs (Mostly on the toilet! lol). Loved them since I was 5. Own every Beatle album. Not so interested in the solo stuff that I would have to buy every solo album but currently mastering The Abbey Rd. Medley from Mr. Mustard - The End as a special part of a Beatle show I'm putting on soon.. Tremendous satisfaction! Could harmonise to their songs forever.
Obsessed enough to hit the top D-note in 'Oh Darlin' and grow a macca beard just for 'I've Got A Feelin'
They came, saw and conquered!
I'd say they are my favourite band although I love soul/funk and other stuff to.

They're definitely my favorite band, and I credit them for opening the door for me to greater musical riches. Without them, I would've never discovered Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, or even jazz greats like John Coltrane and Miles Davis.

Im a Huge fan.
Listen to their music at least once a day, and just feel they are the definative band.

I see the Beatles and music as two seperate entity's.
They really are that good.
Espcially when you start to look from a musical perspective.
Saying that from a musical, Fashion, Art, Opinion, style etc..they hit the top on everyone.

Listening to other bands such as Cream, the Smiths etc, are great..but the Beatles..are just in a totaly different league.

Well, i put My Favourite Band, mainly because i dont listen to them as much as i used to. I guess after i left school, and started working, got married, all that Jazz....

I still love them though. I remember when i first started liking them, whatever CD i got, i wold listen to over and over, and learn the words to every single song. I also had the Anthology on tape, and used to watch that constantly. Now i have the DVD's, which are so much better anyhow.....

Oh, and i had In My Life for my wedding waltz....becasue my husband thought that Norweigan Wood would be a little inappropriate!!!!

If being constantly obsessed with something like alchehol is bad, then being obsessed with the Beatles has got the be the only obsession that's VERY VERY healthy for you.

I hate that he's being forgotten. Or actually that people don't learn about him. Well, my students have more knowledge then half the grown ups out there at this point! Hopefully they'll pass it on. Sometimes they come out with things that I never even told them! Like how many years it was since they broke up or which ones are still alive etc. Cute. One parent has bought her daughter a bunch of posters and had them framed. (Her room used to be all pink, now it's all Beatles!) Next she's going to get her a signed lithograph of their profiles which is over a hundred bucks. She also has an uncle that gave her a Yellow Submarine lunch box from the sixties!! Jeez, and I had to beg my mom for one lousy shirt back when I was six!

I saw the real title and thought: my god! the rutles are really clever!

I have been a dedicated Beatles fan since I first heard them on the radio in the backseat of my parent's car when I was about 5 way back in 69.  I didn't know their history or their classic rock albums or current albumsat the time until I was about 11/12 years old way back in 75/76.  I think some hardcore fans or obsessed fans who have everything with their name on it are out of their minds mentally as with my other favorite groups like the Stones, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Kiss & Van Halen.

I don't like the word obsessed, but I just voted that because really the only band i listen to is The Beatles, or Beatle related people. And I really love The Beatles  :)

I don't mean to be critical, but this final entry makes me nervous. It says "I'm very obsessed... HELP!"

I hope this means "Help! Post more items about my favorite band" rather than "help me get over this obsession". I mean, doing the latter would just be cruel, wouldn't it?

I fall under: My favorite band

I have their albums and have shirts and other collectables and even my cube at work has pictures all over.  I listen to them everyday on my iPod.

I have alot of other bands that I love, but The Beatles will always be my number one  8)

I'd say at this point I'm just a little obsessed. I definitely went through a stage of being very obsessed. But they'll always be my favorite band as they are the band that made me fall in love with music.

Yeah, I've been this way for a long time: when I was a kid I once went around to all the local record shops asking for import copies of Live At The Star Club because the UK edition had versions of "Twist and Shout," "I Saw Her Standing There," "Ask Me Why" and one or two others that weren't on the domestic edition. I got to used to strange looks.  (bigeyes1)

I like to think i am really obsessed but by some peoples standards i might only be a little obsessed. I will admit i don't have a shrine, license plate, or yellow submarine car but i strive to be the best Beatles fan i can be. I do have several records and an Abbey road framed poster as well as a John Lennon shirt and a pair of Lennon glasses.

Love other music, sure, but HECK. The Beatles are a huge part of my life... if not for them, I'm pretty sure I'd be lost. No, I'm not joking!!! My parents were always huge fans, and they tried to get me into it, but they didn't succeed until last September, when I finally got a Beatles album and discovered just how amazing they are ;) BEATLES FOREVER &#9829;

Well, the Beatles are the most  affect band in the world so I do not get some rest of the people who did not even know who they are ....
Besides, I passed out on the Beatles and I regret it only in August I knew them really.
I'm very proud because people know them and show the world that is very unique shapes --
On a bus with someone rang the opening of the song "ticket to ride".

And once I waited for the elevator and someone went behind me and humming to himself the song "Srg. pepper"
And of course there are all the people that are going pride with shirts on the Beatles!

ok, have been a beatle freak since I was 8. I'm 47 now and still they are my life(apart from family).

I have all the vinyl, some are Aussie versions. I have the CD breadbox. I have heaps of books - the Macca bio, Antholgy,etc.

My daughter's name is Abbey and my son's middle name is Lennon.

I have been to Abbey Road, the Dakota, Liverpool, Candlestick Park, and past Shea.

My ambition before I die is to see Macca live. Meeting him and Ringo would be nice too!

I write film scripts as a hobby and always sneak in Beatle references.

Quite simply, to me, they are the four greatest humans that have ever lived.
