First concert I ever went to was a group called The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton is the lead guitarist.
Listening to the Beatles' music figures into pretty much all of my childhood memories.
I would love to have played in the '60s. Now that would have been fun.
My first two records were influenced by the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
The Righteous Brothers got so heavy because of the dramatic hit records like 'Lovin' Feelin.' Bobby and I just felt like we were a couple of Orange County guys who were just having a great time singing rock n' roll, and then, boy, it became something else.
When I was a kid, thinking of just being near a Beatle was an unattainable dream.
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down.
I didn't love Jim Morrison. There was something very reptilian about him. And I didn't care for his singing, but his band! The Doors were fantastic.
My dad liked a lot of Motown, but I didn't listen to it until my teenage years.
My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.
The best thing I ever heard was in the '60s. I heard Jimi Hendrix play 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' after a rehearsal, and it was brilliant.
It was Jimi Hendrix that I first got into when Betty Mabry turned me on to him.
My dad was a huge Bob Dylan fan, so we listened to his music, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, and all that kind of stuff.
The Beatles. I didn't like the first couple of songs, but when I heard "She Loves You', it was like something went off in my head.
I do get credit for having a California sound to my music, but I don't think people really know what that means - they think the Beach Boys. I'm thinking more like Sunset Strip in the 1960s and stuff like that.
Ooh Poo Pah Doo' was a monster song.
There was always music in my house when I was a kid. On Saturday mornings, my mother would clean house to 45s blaring out the songs of Neil Diamond, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin.
I love the Beatles, and when I was very young, I had young parents, so Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles constantly were big influences on my life.
You know there's this really strange mystique about Simon and Garfunkel, when they use the amazing mandolin and all the percussive stuff. It sometimes sounds very global.
The '60s is one of my favourite eras in general. I love '60s music, and I've always wanted to do a period film.
The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
I honed in on a great time, the Motown era, the '60s and '70s. That type of music has always been a staple in my life.
As every teenage girl, I was absolutely obsessed with The Beatles, and the first record I bought was 'Please Please Me.' I'd have been 13 at the time.
