well my discovery was a little different. My parents are die-hard beatles fans since before I was even born. When I was a little girl, my parents bought me Sgt. Peppers the movie/musical, you know, the one with peter frampton and the bee-gee's. Well I fell in love with the movie and the music and after that I was always listening to my dads albums. I know I heard the beatles music before, but it wasn't until I fell in love with Sgt. Peppers the movie/musical as a little girl that I couldn't get enough of their music.

ive just copied this from the favourite beatle thread. as im lazy.
before i even liked the beatles i saw a picture of them in a book me and my best friend got out of the library....it had a bob dylan pic next to them which was why we got it out lol. then in this beatles pic, we thought they all looked the same! the only dif one was ringo we thought, and we had a joke that he was "laurens beatle" (my bestie) we had to go to our art teacher and ger her to tell us the names of them! i learnt them and i felt so proud lol. we forgot about that soon after and then a few weeks later we had another book, for bob reasons aslo and the beatles were in it too, so i showed lauren and i named them all for her. at this time i had begun to think paul was jsut pretty damn cute it was after this that we decided we should find some of their music. i said that it was lucky ringo was her beatle, so i could have paul lol...lauren had this anthology double disc cd thing, and we listened to that one day at her house, the first song we listened to really was love me do. and we listened to that ALOT. lol. and then i had all these tapes of my fathers that hed taped off records years ago, i hd abbey road, let it be, sgt peppers, white album, and hey jude.
so its thanks to bob dylan i guess that we like the beatles and the only reason we like him is because i had the forrest gump sound track, which had one of his songs on it....and i used to listen to that. thats basically how i began to like music in general. before that i was listening to music i guess, but i progressed to soundtracks, like lord of the rings....and i was obsessive about those for a while. after that came what i like now!
Beware of sadness, it can hit you, it can hurt you.....
That's funny, because I started listening to Bob Dylan because of The Beatles! (also partly because of my dad).
I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' b**** for you Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm busting up my brains for the words
I was in elementary school and my best friend started singing I Am The Walrus. From that moment on, I have learned everything I can cram into my head about the Fab Four. I even wrote my Comp II Term Paper on how the Beatles influenced American music. I wrote it all from my head, then found sources to back it up (because I had to), and I got an A!
i wasn't one of the lucky ones as the betles and a love for rock and roll wasn't in my blood.
like colleen, i discovered through a project. in my elementary school (i was 11) i was in a rather gifted class, as they call it. each year, the "gifted classes" of the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade would do a presentation with reports and a show. i was picked to do the 60s and one of the things i had to include was music. boy was i lucky because through this project i learned about some great music. i borrowed the beatles album revolver from the library for the presentation and i was hooked. i mean, can you get a better album?
since the day i got the album i wanted to start a band and learned to play the bass. long live rock and roll!
I was 10 when I first saw them on the TV. I thought they were brothers, so alike they looked! My dad told me they weren't brothers, but that they used to dress quite similarly. Then my father pointed to one of them and told me he'd been assassinated. "The one with glasses", he told me, but I couldn't see any with glasses, the image was of the ready, steady, go program in 1964, so JOHN wasn't wearing his glasses. But then, the roof top concert came on the TV and I saw JOHN and when the image of 1964 came back later on, I just fell in love!!! And ever since!!!
is almost the same as the JAM'S song START .. Bar a note ..
Mr Weller got a lot of stick for that. He said it was unintentional, but in an earlier interview said the album was inspired by REvolver! I would have sued his a**
