My personal experience of The Beatles was, literally, life-changing. When I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan in February 1964, they just blew my little pre-teen brain.

Here's what did it to me. Though my brain was all the way teen by then.

Stones

Me too Seth, never could stand the beatles.

Paul has sandals on there - which means he's still alive, right?

Lemmy's Take On The Beatles

Watching a documentary about Lemmy on the VH-1 Classic channel, he waxed on during a radio interview about the early days when he first became aware of the Beatles.

In short, it's his contention that the common misperception was that the Beatles were the 'sissies', or softies, while the Stones were considered the 'Bad Boys' when he says that the opposite was the reality. Lemmy says that the Beatles came from a very rough environment by growing up in Liverpool, while the members of the Stones came from the priviledged class of London. Also, the Beatles cut their teeth in Hamburg which, from all accounts, would make or break you. Lemmy doesn't know if the Stones would've hacked it in Hamburg. Billy is a veteran of that music scene.

There used to be a romantic vision of Liverpool due to the Beatles and others of the British Invasion, but I've heard mentioned many times that Liverpool was a good place to be FROM. Not exactly a romantic vacation nor a retirement destination.

I haven't jumped in on this thread yet. I'm a Beatles fan. They were pretty much the first "Big Deal" I was aware of, as far as music was concerned. First stuff I really "got". Probably around Rubber Soul or Revolver. My sisters had them all, so they were always on somebody's record player in the house. I was 12 when they were over, so I was aware, but I didn't really see the whole thing. I remember my 6th grade dance day at school. Everyone was supposed to bring a record. Most of the kids brought 45's of the Monkees or Partridge Family or whatever bubblegum pop was then. I brought Abbey Road.

Ain't no way in the world I'm goin' out that front door...

Being born in '59, I discovered the Beatles later than most. It was 1971 and I was at this house babysitting. After the kids went to bed, I was checking out their record collection and put "Meet the Beatles" on the turntable. Man.....it was the sweetest sounding music I had ever encountered. I still love their music, especially tunes by Lennon.

Jagger had sort of the same take on it himself.....he said, in so many words, that the Beatles were played up as the darlings of the industry and they as the Anti-Beatles, but really the Beatles were just as hard and caustic as they were, and the Stones weren't that rough at all.

The Beatles were my first real music epiphany. Elvis had gone into the Army, Chuck Berry went to prison, Little Richard found religion and left music, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens had died in the plane crash, Eddie Cochran died in a car accident, Jerry Lee Lewis married his underage cousin and that was it for him . . .

and out of this ending and pause of the first wave of Rock 'n Roll came the Beatles on the Ed Sulivan Show. It was like a bucket of ice water in the face! And they didn't let us catch our breath again!
