I was a late bloomer, too, BeatlesandBud -- didn't become a Beatlemaniac 'til I was 22. And I agree that, compared with them, every other band sounds second class to me too. Love your signature line, BTW.

Even The Who?! LOL
The Who is the reason I hated the Beatles for so many years, ironically! I'm a devoted fan (as you know), but everyone always raved about the Beatles being "the best," and it always made me mad. (I was a not-very-mature teenager.) Then when I finally started listening to the Beatles, I was hooked and have been ever since.
In Grade Three (I was eight) I did a Beatles-themed Christmas concert with my school. And I've been hooked ever since.
My dad grew up in the sixtees. I heard yellow submarine, then got obsest.
My parents called me into the living room to "come see these guys" on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964.I was hooked, started playing the drums and growing my hair long!
Heard my dad play old LPs when I was just a kid, been listening ever since
