#46. Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head.

Paul McCartney

Quotes About Beatles Music #661134
#47. Pop is about the self in isolation, is non-collective. Even in a crowd screaming at the Beatles, Bay City Rollers or Boyzone, the focus is the externalisation of individual obsession, hormonally induced or otherwise. Pop is not a team sport. Pop is not soccer.

Jane Wiedlin

Quotes About Beatles Music #743474

Eric Carr

Quotes About Beatles Music #745279

Jonny Greenwood

Quotes About Beatles Music #760214
#56. The Beatles and Ray Charles were in the same charts together, and that was just called pop music - it wasn't called soul or rock. The best pop music just stands out as something that's just original, and I think it should all be called pop again.

Eliza Doolittle

Quotes About Beatles Music #775681

Gary Oldman

Quotes About Beatles Music #786141
#59. The amazing thing about Freak Out! was that there was nothing quite like it in rock 'n roll at the time. It was really simultaneously crude and ugly, and incredibly sophisticated.

Matt Groening

Quotes About Beatles Music #797883
#60. Guided By Voices was huge when I was 16. Then I got into the Beatles, then classical music, Beethoven.

Eric Hutchinson

Quotes About Beatles Music #827953
#62. I heard Q-Tip on the Jungle Brothers' song 'The Promo.' It was very exciting. It was very new. The music and the culture around hip-hop was evolving. I think there's an emotional quality to their music and there's a vulnerability to the music. For me, A Tribe Called Quest was my Beatles.

Michael Rapaport

Quotes About Beatles Music #832581
#63. I was raised really strongly on The Beatles; they were huge in my family, my parents loved them, and they used to quiz me on who was singing which song, and we'd play certain records for certain events, and things like that. So I mean, they were sort of my introduction to pop music.

Eric Hutchinson

Quotes About Beatles Music #834493

Charlie Benante

Quotes About Beatles Music #880889
#68. The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music.

William F. Buckley Jr.

Quotes About Beatles Music #894595
#69. If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana.

Moby

Quotes About Beatles Music #902628

Paul McCartney

Quotes About Beatles Music #942901
#74. That culture, of looking at catchy music as a negative thing, is weird. It has nothing to do with me, or the music I was into growing up. The Stones and the Beatles only tried to write hits. Every Motown song, every Credence Clearwater song - they were trying to write hits.

Dan Auerbach

Quotes About Beatles Music #947971
#75. I fell into hip-hop right from the beginning. I was a teenager in the '60s, so I was putting all my pocket money into buying LPs. I followed the ascent of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Stevie Wonder. I followed popular music very closely, and I've never stopped.

Simon De Pury

Quotes About Beatles Music #949059
#76. Composers are influenced by all the important music in their lives - and I suppose that since radio started playing popular music, that's as likely to be The Beatles or Aphex Twin as it is to be Verdi or Ravel.

Jonny Greenwood

Quotes About Beatles Music #968540

Win Butler

Quotes About Beatles Music #1152291

Jeremy Enigk

Quotes About Beatles Music #1159654
#87. There were only seven years between the first and last Beatles albums. That's nothing, seven years, when you think of how their hairstyles changed and their music changed. Some bands now go seven years without hardly bothering to do anything.

Sandra Cisneros

Quotes About Beatles Music #1259811

Hilary Duff

Quotes About Beatles Music #1286945

Quotes About Beatles Music #1374368
