I started to get into the Beatles when I was 12. Shortly thereafter, Lennon was shot and killed. Even after 43 years, I still listen to them often. Their guitar lines/riffs, hooks, melodies, harmonies, very creative, some of the best ever. They inspired countless other bands. By the end, they had 3 great song writers in the same band. For the poll, I left off their early years and started with 1965, the year their music started to expand and change. I appreciate and love all of their albums, but for me the favorite is Abbey Road. Perfection, start to finish.
