We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I suppose, counting back, if the Beatles had been influenced by music in the same length of time ago - you'd have to put that into better English for me, thank you - they would have been like a banjo orchestra. They would have been doing show tunes.
For us... you know, we're not The Beatles.
The Beatles have always had a big effect on me.
The Beatles created something that never trailed off. What a gift that was to their fans. If you're into the Beatles, you loved them from beginning to end.
The Beatles weren't like any other band. Everybody in the band sang, which is why you knew everybody in the band.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
Our influences are who we are. It's rare that anything is an absolutely pure vision; even Daniel Johnston sounds like the Beatles. And that's the problem with the bands I'm always asked about, the ones derivative of the early Seattle sound. They don't dilute their influences enough.
I grew up a massive Beatles fan.
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.
When I was growing up, the people who liked the Beatles, I didn't like, so I didn't pay attention to them.
