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 don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.

The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.

The Beatles saved the world from boredom.

The Beatles were perfect. There's just no other way to say it. They were the perfect band.

As a performing group, the Beatles began by playing old rock favorites, for dancing, to tough audiences in Liverpool and Hamburg. When they began writing seriously, they discovered that they couldn't compose in the early American rock tradition.

The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.

What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.

The Beatles just changed everything right across the board. They just had that right combination of clean-cut good looks - a cute band - but under that they had a real rock n' roll thing going on.

Anything to do with the Beatles is very complicated.
