I loved the first year of discovering the Beatles. It started when I, completely out of the blue, bought the Beatles 1 album. Know that I listened nothing at all close to Beatles at the time. It was all Metallica, and a few other heavy metal bands, but the Beatles opened me up to everything. From then on I loved discovering new Beatles songs I had never heard before. If I had a chance to visit a time of my life again, that would probably be where I would like to go.
welcome leopard skin yeah all there work is varied you find something new in each album, sometimes from track to track thats one of the great things about the beatles they constantly reinvented themselves when others stuck to the same format, thats why they are so huge because almost every person you know will maybe not be fan but will al certainly love at least one song as they cover such a wide range of styles some of my friends are really into techno music and they dont like any guitar music but they absolutly love within you without you/tommorow never knows as it has a trancy feel to it where as with other bands like stones and oasis and practically all other bands i know of you either like them or dont as the stick to the same formula i also love another band called blur as they have the same way of working they do there music in trilogys and every album has like a door to the next album where it is a mix of what there doing now and a mix of whats to come
I saw on several websites before a section where you could share the story of how you became a Beatles fan. I hope this is a pretty good idea and that it's not already on this forum. Well, anyways, here's my story:
I've pretty much known who the Beatles were my whole life, because my parents and all my aunts and uncles love them and grew up in the sixties. I just knew that they were something big, but I didn't know literally anything about them. I'd heard some of their songs when I was a little kid back in the mid and late 90s. But then, a little over a year ago, I heard a familiar song play on a jukebox in a restruant, it was "Love Me Do". I'm like, hey, I know this song, who is it? And my parents said it was the Beatles, and I became interested. Then a few weeks later, my mom and I were at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cleveland Ohio, and the tvs that day were showing a lot of Beatles. My mom began telling me about them more, so I went home and listened to the "One" CD and fell in love with it. A lot of the songs sounded familiar again. The music just clicked, and then I looked at my dad's Anthology book, and just became obsessed from then on. It's not the most interesting story ever, but I'm extremely happy that I happened to find them, or did they find me? Either way, my life would be empty without them.

I first discovered them when I was really little, my mom was a huge fan so I grew up to their music then when I was six or seven I watched A Hard Days Night and Help! on TCM and have loved them ever since. My first DVD purchase was the special edition of A Hard Day's Night. I find that now that I am older I have really started to appreciate them more and have learned more about them then when I was a little girl! Long Live The Beatles!!!
Also welcome to the forums kalidoscopeyes I am new here too!

Wow. How do you ...? I was born in January '62, with four older siblings who were into the Beatles. So I was 2 when Ed Sulllivan was on, and I used to swear I remember it, simply because of the excitement of being around the TV with my older brothers for this "thing." People have told me it isn't possible. I'm not sure. But I grew up on their vinyl. In my basement, on my suitcase Emerson. Meet the Beatles and Beatles VI, especially. Funny -- those two had "This Boy" and "Yes It Is," two songs that still blow me away. When I was maybe 5, my sister once said something about who wrote a particular song. I said, "People write songs? She said, "What did you think?" I said, "I thought computers wrote them." To defend myself -- computers were all over popular culture at the time as these evil-genius things; all those Sci-Fi TV shows. And, I just couldn't fathom how you came up with something like "Yes It Is." It was otherworldly, to me. I guess I wasn't the brightest young lad. My first puchase was MMT, for $5 at Zayre. My brother had the Walrus single and SFF/Penny Lane, and I wanted those. And what I got besides ... good Lord. I could go on and on. They've shaped my entire life. I can't imagine it without them.
