Who got you into The Beatles?

[ArothmanMusic]

My dad and my uncle Ted.

Uncle Ted in particular is a HUGE Beatles fan... collects stuff and goes to conventions and all that. My aunt tells me a story that when I was about 6 and was staying at their house, she got up in the morning and found me sitting in front of his collection just staring at it. I turned and said "Aunt Amy, how old do you have to be to have a will?"

Classic.

i was watching a comercial for the beatles anthology (it was supposed to come out on home video) i was probably five and the first song was Help! and the rest is history

My Mom bought me a Beatles boxed set of albums when I was a wee tot. I think I still have em around somewhere...

Ah yeah... here it is..

That's back when they were 78 RPM Bakelite discs for the Victrola, right?

My 73 year old Grandmother! She watched Ed Sullivan religiously and was at our house the Sunday in Feb.'64 when they were going to do their 1st appearance. She had heard it announced the previous Sunday, and knew I really liked music. My friends and I had heard of them, but hadn't heard any of their songs, as the radio stations in the Boston area wern't playing any of them. I was 13 then, and grew up through my teen years with their music.

I've listened to The Beatles since... before I was born. I have photos of my dad playing Beatles records and my mom sitting next to the player when I was in the womb. Dated and all.

****.

When I was 13, there was an accidental house fire. It was 7:00 am. My dad went to save me and I went to save his vinyls. Everyone survived, but he lost like 80% of his collection.

They're mine now and not a day goes where I don't listen to a couple songs~

This is gonna sound really stupid, but i watched the trailer for this game, looked up I am the walrus, listened, followed to more songs on youtube, and became the biggest 14 year old fan I know.

My mom did sing Here Comes the Sun to me when I was born, literally, right as i was given to her.

Pfft my friend Henry. But not HMXHenry, a different one. Twas his favorite band!

Since Ed Sullivan 1964

Now I can play over 50 Beatles songs by heart on a REAL guitar

My drummer, who's been my best friend since the third grade had been trying to get me into the Beatles for the past 5 or 6 years.

It finally stuck about a year and a half ago

My mom got me started, but the rest was mostly on my own.
My mom used to play The Beatles all the time when I was really little, I have really vague memories of hearing All Together Now and I Am The Walrus, and my mom said that the latter was my favorite (and it still is today.) I actually hated The Beatles until near the end of Grade School when she got me the Yellow Submarine Songtrack (different from the normal album), my favorite songs were Hey Bulldog and Baby You're a Rich Man. From then, I liked a few of their songs, but I didn't really become a fan until some time before last summer when I listened to Love. Then, I realized that my mom had most of the early US albums, as well as Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album (the latter chooses to skip at the most awkward times, "WHY DON'T WE DO IT- WHY DON'T WE DO IT- WHY DON'T WE DO IT-")
From there, I started to realize that they really do deserve all the love they get.
