The Beatles first came to America when I was 9 or 10. I wouldn't trade growing up with the Fabs for anything. My sister and I would put on lip-sync shows for our parents, brooms now guitars and pillows now drums. My best friend and I had the first crisis of conscience in our lives when we briefly held sway on the sacrilege that maybe the Dave Clark Five was better. My sister accidentally broke the Beatles 2nd album, and I pouted until Mom bought a new one. My Dad learned all the songs on his guitar. The Beatles remain my all-time favorite (followed by Billy Joel, Zeppelin, and Jack White).

I'm with you all the way on all three musicians.  I don't know if you've seen "It Might Get Loud," but it's Jimmy Page, Jack White and The Edge (U2) doing a little postdoctoral work on the guitar.  It's fun to watch these three pick up the best songs of the others almost instantly.  Here's a clip to whet your appetite:

Here's Jack White, showing them how to do Seven Nation Army:
