I don't care about the word 'pop'. The Beatles were pop; it's just what's popular.
If I could be in any band, I think it would have to be The Beatles. That would have been a lot of fun.
Growing up, I liked all the stuff that everyone else was listening to, like Motown, but the biggest group of all was The Beatles.
The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
Paul Hicks is the only guy The Beatles will allow to arrange, mix and engineer their music, so he did the Cirque du Soleil 'Love' show.
The big turning point, really, was the Beatles' influence on American folk music, and then Roger took it to the next step, and then along came the Lovin' Spoonful and everybody else.
The muse of music isn't just from Greek mythology, but living in people like the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin.
I don't relate to the 'Twilight' books or movies at all, but I'm obsessed with it as a pop culture phenomenon - all these people just screaming like it was the Beatles.
The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.
From 1958 to 1964, that's real rock n' roll. Then the Beatles hit and everyone sounded like them.
The hardest song to write is a protest song, a topical song with meaning.
The songs I love to sing are story songs, from Yiddish songs to Tom Waits.
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years, I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was.
I can't remember the first song I learned to play on bass, but the first song I learned to play on guitar was 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds. That kind of was the beginning for me. I thought it was a great song and I loved the open chord progressio...
I love songs. Songs are my favorite things.
I was such a massive fan of all the '60s pop bands, but if I had to single out one band, it would definitely be The Beatles.
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!
My dad was in a Beatles cover band. My mom wore Candies and belly buttons. The people in our family were very glamorous. They wore pearls like Jackie O.
I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad's music, there just seemed to be elements missing.
