The Beatles were great, but Beethoven and Mozart were phenomenal. Both will be remembered for centuries, but it will always be clear which were most in touch with the soul of humanity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.
I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.
It was great fun to hang around the Beatles. They had amazingly fast minds, and they were incredibly amusing and funny and witty. They were great. There was a very high energy surrounding them.
We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.
John Lennon was a musical genius. All I have to do is think of some of his songs and even the titles make me feel good... and I'm not the only one. His music has crossed cultures and even generations.
I'm not a culture snob. So while, of course, I think the Mozart 'Requiem' or, say, Beethoven's 'Ninth' are some of the greatest works of art in the history of humankind, that's not to say the Beatles or Queen or Simon and Garfunkel aren't brilliant, beautiful, important works of art that should be sung without a sense of irony.
Almost everything The Beatles did was great, and it's hard to improve on. They were our Bach. The way to get around it may be to keep it as simple as possible.
I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.
