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.

My favorite artists have always been Elvis and The Beatles and they still are!

I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.

I don't really have a lot of hip-hop and all of that, so I have a lot of John Lennon. That's one that I really like, and The Clash, the Rolling Stones, groups that I think are kind of timeless.

Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.

When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That's who comes to mind.

I'm very eclectic in my music tastes - anything from Nina Simone to Beethoven to Talvin Singh.

I like the Beatles, of course, but that's when I grew up.

Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.
