Hear, hear! ❤

You, sir, are awesome!

I like to think being born in 1970, making the 80s my formative teen years, that I was lucky to see and hear so many bands and the new genres they brought to the main stream, from the Sugar Hill Gang to Bruce Springsteen to Joy Division and Depeche Mode, but even then, it was hearing The Beatles and Wings from Mom's lp record player that was center of our wooden cabinet hifi stereo system that I first learned to sing along to - and while those other bands are great notes of rock and roll history - The Beatles ARE rock and roll history - and so are you Sir. Without the original British fans, there would never have been us American fans. Words can't relay how grateful I am. SALUTE, SIR!

That's also in our family tradition. My girls and I bonded over singing to the Beatles tunes. That was way more meaningful than singing nursery rhymes with my mom.

TO me it was a instant antidepressant to put the Beatles on as a wee lad IT'S like that still but time's Thay are changing but the Beatles WILL REMAIN THE GREATEST BAND EVER😮😅I loved them STILL do memories are priceless😢😮😅😢❤

1957 and ditto. I listened to rock and roll on the radio as much as I could from the time I was five years old. I knew many of the top 40 hits and I wondered how song writers kept coming up with great new tunes. Surely, there would come a day when the all of the good songs would be written. But, I was six then. I clearly remember a thought or a feeling that came to me in early 1964 that something big was coming to the music world. Something new and beautiful that everybody would love. Maybe, I was confused by the times when such a jumble of songs from the 50’s, country songs, Motown songs, protest/ folk songs, instrumentals, and the new groups defining Rock and Roll were all played on one station. The 60’s was a great decade to be tuned into popular music. Then the Beatles were born. They were fulfilling my premonition, though I never mentioned it to anyone for a long time. My older sister loved The Beatles, too, and she somehow brought each new LP home and she and I and my little sister (sometimes) would listen to the new album as long as Mom or Grandma would let us. But it didn’t take long before we knew at least the melodies of each track. It was so beautiful and such a gift, to have each song that had been pressed onto that disc, firmly tucked into my brain where I could listen to any or every song whenever I wanted to. On the way to school, in class at school, after school I could put Meet The Beatles on play in my head and listen to the whole album. Every kind of emotion you wanted to feel was on that LP.

1956 was the year I was born too!

Me too. There must be millions of us...

Also born then but less impressed. I remember my friend had a Dansette - I was 7 and he put on I wanna hold your hand. I was a bit "meh" really.

1962 August they are at the Cavern- I was a month old. I am still as amazed by all this as I was 13 years later when a friend introduced me to the Lads. My life was so touched by every aspect the music and what they had been into. A lifetime's worth of admiration and respect for all they showed me.

@david woods Me too. We have the Beatles. Kids now grow up with what? ✌✌

THIS CAME OUT AT SAME TIME. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/na1-id19s9bcdGw.html

@Faye Enke Yes. I had my favourite back in the day and switched when John died. I too love them all. These brilliant artists impacted our lives and globally opened doors for other British brilliant bands who looked up to them.

@@michaelabraham8873 Beatle fans embrace their music. We don't squabble about who was better in the band. We were just lucky to have them when we did and I am so glad you are enjoying them now. 💖

Amen 🙏

I feel so very blessed to have grown up in the Sixties... specifically the Beatles years of 1964 -1970 - along with the evolution of The Beatles and their music. They were coming of age . . . and so was I. What wonderful years to be alive and growing up through the teenage years... I was 14 when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan's show in early 1964 . . . and I grew up through in the following six years as The Beatles grew, matured, experimented and conquered the world of music and popular culture. 'Whatta time to be alive!!!!!!!!!!

Great way of putting it! Are you related to Eric?

@@Snoopy7666 I feel the same i was driven to play and Sing because of them and i am still driven. from that 1st Ed Sulivan On------------->

@@Snoopy7666 you are so lucky.

That's not an exaggeration. Mozart and Schubert wrote thousands of tunes, of which hundreds are famous today; of all all the Beatles' tunes, very few did not appeal.

I'm a Beatles expert. I loved them early on and I know a bunch of triivia about them.

@@bobrush4217 I would say I am also lol, even though I’m young n I have so much to learn still I know a lot. One thing that is for certain I know is I could do is name any Beatles song in under 1 second or less. That’s my greatest hidden talent 😂

I'm 65 in 2024, and I agree.

Yep!!

Not Mozart. One man did as much as the Fab Four

@@RobertWellerRub I love Classical as Well. Hard to Dispute. Without Mozart ? There would be No BEATLES. Mozart influenced just about everybody.

I,AM,77YEARS ,YOUNG,AND,THE BEATLES WILL BE FOREVER ETERNAL!!!LOVE love ❤️

75 and still love them!

Beatles will always be a thing of the 60s,

They are the biggest entertainment act that will ever be!

I am now nearly 72..still love their music 🎶🎶

You will meet them in heaven.

1962! me too!!

EVERYONE SAYS BEATLES INFLUENCED ALL OTHER MUSIC.

OH PLEASE THEY ARE A FRIGGIN BOY BAND WITHOUT RINGO THEIR MUSIC SUCKS.

@@ronniewall1481 I love Ringo. He is a nice down to earth guy who never took the celebrity serious. He and supermodel Barbara Bach have been married for decades. That speaks volumes about both of them. How often do you see these big time celebrity marriages last? Hardly ever, if at all. But to say John, Paul and George are just a boy band? It's laughable. Please tell me you are joking or a troll.

@@rollinmark8952 REALLY INVENTED DRUMMER.

no-one else writes lyrics like them. my second bible, lately have been re-listening to the lyrics. They knew stuff. lets not forget Sir George Martin. Thank you, Mr. Martin, RIP.

No matter how many times you listen to their songs, you never get tired of them.

Oh Debra, born in 55 also. Sorry about your parent's divorce in that year - 64. Was living in Turkey then at age 8 and 9 as the son if an air force sergeant with my mom and younger brother and sister. Beatles were it over there but could not see them. No TV over there at that time. Saw hard days night at the movies there though. Best band ever. Be well.

Well said!!!!

Very Nice .

Glad your dad came home, safe and sound. These were turbulent times - but my, how wonderful the music was! It carried you into a new sphere of hope and personal growth.

VERY TOUCHING. GOD BLESS YOU

Julian has the same voice

John didn't like his voice. Shows he didn't know it all.

​@@leeabend8079 On a recording, few like to hear themselves. But he had the best voice of them all that blended perfectly with the rest. Ringo had another unique voice which made the band sound great

In my opinion George was the most unique .

My FAVORITE! John was ❤

Mark Field I was born 52 and it was wonderful to grow up with the greatest music starting from early 60s. Very grateful too.x

Born in 1950 as well. Got my first pair of Beatles boots, (suede) in '65. Same year I joined a band. Managed to mangle "This Boy."

She's leaving home????

Yesterday

Still making life worth living.

It was a GREAT ERA to have been a teenager!

I lived through the entire Beatles rise ...... On Nov. 22, 1963 the Beatles were to be introduced on the CBS evening news program in the USA ..... that report, which was intended to introduce the Beatles to America, was pre-empted understandably due to the assassination of President Kennedy - I was just one of millions of grief-stricken kids who had idolized JFK, who was ripe for the picking when "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and the Beatles exploded on the scene weeks later ...... by February, the boys came to the USA for the first time, appeared on Ed Sullivan, and every kid in my generation grew their hair out and got "Beatles Boots" - we knew that the girls would like that! ..... The Beatles message of LOVE and the struggle to grow up, helped us all to grow up - and their music and message has been with me throughout my life ..... They were an amazing influence in my life

Be proud!! It was so cool. From Alaska 🤩

Yes no doubt. You’re absolutely right. They are legends. I’m Brazilian 74 years old so I’ve followed and enjoyed The Beatles career in full. I’ve been to 4 Paul McCartney concerts and also Ringo’s band one time. My son went to study English in London in 2008 when he got a Paul’s autograph on a record Fireman I keep and proudly show everyone. And you have a much more really talented musicians like Fred Mercury and The Queen, Rolling Stones, Elton John, which I love their songs so much. All the best.

I'm 71, & started playing guitar in bands in 1965 at the age of 14. 18 bands & 57 years later, they are & always will be the best in my book, hands down. As a musician, I feel truly blessed to have been able to be alive during that era (and survive 😉).....And listening to the early Beatles' stuff still gives me a combination of goosebumps and tears, depending on whether the source be something like "In My Life" or "You're Gonna Lose That Girl".....I get special feelings that only manifest themselves when I listen to or perform anything from those first 5 albums......I could go on & on naming songs that are so special to me and the memories associated with those special tunes, but it would really be impossible......There simply aren't enough words in my vocabulary. I would be on "verbal safari", still sitting here days from now if I even made the attempt. I would also like to say that it is a crying shame that George has been overlooked and/or underrated by so many. The guy was a master, and I am so glad that he lived long enough to do the Travellin' Wilburys project. R.I.P., George & John... And my deepest thanks for the gift that the 4 of you guys gave to the world.........And me.

Hate to to burst your English bubble but ! The two main men in the Beatles were of Irish extraction. It is their Irish Gene's which gave us those memorable melodies . The Irish are famous for lyrics and song writing. The English are famous for creating armies and stripping resourced from weaker nations.

awesome comment

I can't begin to imagine the pressure they were under.

brought me to tears!

R.I.P ✝️.

We all should be. Most probably are.

@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 corblimeeaaaarrgh

Edward, what a great perspective. Me too!!

Well, don’t forget the ancient Egyptian band The Scarabs. They were brilliant, too.

Edward E. I feel EXACTLY the same..how blessed we are! ❤️

Far out, man...

So are you

I'll be 70 in a few m ok months and 1964 is the first time I heard my first Beatles song after that I was hooked. Til this day, I still listen to them every chance I get.

Just place a lefthand guitar smiley :)

And there never will be....

Haha, I'm 71...what a time to be young, hey? George made the most sense to me, so off I went to a Temple in Vrndavan, India, and never really came back.

You'll get no argument from me!

A miracle indeed!!!

It’s even more miraculous than that! Those two songs were recorded just six years and four months apart. September 1962 to January 1969. Crazy!

That's a nice little moment in history:)

For Paul!

I also watched and was 9. It was so amazing to see them, hear their music, see the berserk girls screaming and fainting, listening to my dad complaining about their long hair (what?) Lol it barely covered their ears...just wait a couple years to see long hair! But I fell hard

It was such a magical time!

Yes I agree the greatest group of all time,alot of awesome songs

Definitely influential when Ludwig Drum Co. And Zildjian Cymbals ended up with back orders over a year of drums and cymbals after they appeared on Ed Sullivan !!

Really THE BEATLES are beyond number one!

Has she still got a Scouse accent???

Yes....don't forget Thank You Girl...I'm a Loser...Run for Your Life...not to mention the rest of the wonderful Help soundtrack!

And dear prudence )))

How about every song they've done lol. For me, Happiness is a warm gun, true talent though.

They polled the top twenty seven we all know how huge a catalogue of songs they have it goes without saying can’t feature them all so it’s the most popular that are featuring here .

it is mainly concentrating on their singles you zonk !!.. And I don't think 'DON'T LET ME DOWN' is one of their great songs at all..

As a wee lad I sang that song to my classmates in 1979. As a presentation. Every Tuesday arvo from then on I was asked to repeat something similar. Though they gave others a chance of course. We were last on the list to play or sing a Beatles song. One of my greatest memories.Thank-you for reminding me

Yea, Yea, Yea.

nope beegees were :)

@@60toodles My wife agrees with you.

Actually no doubt about it, BEATLES were the best band ever. I still follow the brilliant carreer of the fantastic Sir Paul McCartney, as he always has been my favourite since I was 15 years old and now I will be 76 in September. Sir Paul McCartney is a great singer, composer and being able to play various instruments. Actually I will be his great fan until the day I day. And on the top of all this he is sooooooo handsome. My name is Isabel, I am Portuguese and live in Cascais. I love to watch this videos!!!

All you need is love, love. Love is all you need..............

So true...sadly 😔

the world needs guidance today...it needs some heroes to look up to....we have none...the Kardasians? Bruce Jenner? ha ha....the World is all screwed up now...we have to "get back to where we once belonged"....and soon

@@johnbrennan3779...and God is Love 🕊 Just call me a Jesus Freak ✝️✌

Don Stewart, indeed.

Rock and roll pure

Dear Terry; You're absolutely right - they accomplishments are as significant to the human race as any have ever been. Their creations help many of us to preserve (to exist, to be, to last, to live). It's the fundamental law of Universe...
