I was born in '68 and so the Beatles were never far away during my childhood.
I was talking with a friend the other day and we were both amazed to find just how close classic albums were once e.g. when I first head 'The Doors,' Piper At the Gates Of Dawn and Sgt Pepper the albums were only 13 years old.
They were as close as the Brit-Pop period is now. I remember how upset the 12 year old me was when John Lennon passed, and how very sad I was when George went. The Beatles are in my genes, and were the bedrock of everything that was to come. I don't play them that often either, but when I do, nothing's changed.
The Beatles were simply stunning songwriters and groundbreakers. Three years from She Loves You to Tomorrow Never Knows speaks for itself. Even for those who don't like the music, no one could deny their incomparable seismic influence that will always be there, like background radiation.
