"Jymn , There may be an element of truth to that , in that , yes , the other two were availabe in America , but , only as imports , of course. It does'nt make sense to say "Future" is available everywhere but North America…"
Kicks just got easier to find.

Excellent story - you really nailed that one! I had a similar experience with the Fabs back in 1978 or so cruising in a friend's Mercury Bobcat loaded with dateless losers (not nearly as nice an environment as you were in, I'm sure!). He popped in the cassette tape of their live show at the Hollywood Bowl, turned up the volume and I'll never forget how completely the music took hold. My brother thought I was nuts, but I've been a rabid fan ever since!
Don said:To write the Beatles's success off as depending on corporate marketing is to not have been there. Today one cannot imagine the effect their music had on the minds, souls and loins of a teenager back when they first appeared on the airwaves.
I was such a teenager. Already a working musician. Not into TV at all. Not into hype. But let me tell you the effect that hearing She Loves You had on me...
I was with my girlfriend in her bedroom. Her parents were out. We were doing the stuff that curious teenagers do at such times.
This girl was a gorgeous blue-eyed Swedish blond. My attention was not easily distracted.
Suddenly this sound came on the radio. I simply sat up, frozen in time and space, completely and totally mesmerized. I had never heard such a thing. Never been effected like that by any music. Electrified. I at that time had no idea of who the group was.Today there is no way to simulate that effect. That of something totally fresh and new. Something that entered one's very soul and spirit.
Others may have been effected by other music like that. Perhaps some reacted that way when they first heard Elvis. That I cannot say. But never to my knowledge has it happened since. And if you grew up with Beatle influenced RnR as the soundtrack of your life you truly cannot even imagine what it was like to hear that music for the first time.

I like the stones music better...
Here is the actual excerpt from Lemmy's bio book.
And I can vouch that the softest feller in Liverpool is prolly gonna split the melon of most Londoners (except in east London)

That's great. This was many , many years ago ,like , more than 25 years , that I'd read Lemmy saying he also saw The Beatles in Hamburg. It's not improbable , I guess....We yanks are not so vain that we don't have to be reminded you could fit England and Germany in Texas and have room for a few tax shelters.

I got a copy of Big Beat '64 from the video beat and was blown away that every band performing was raising the bar for the next band. The Beatles came out and seriously showed why the were there batting clean-up. So yeah, it's be the Beatles. The savage young Beatles especially.

If I had to choose I'd go with The Beatles. Though I love (Brian Jones era) Stones.
Bob Spitz does a good job covering the early years of the Beatles (Ringo doesn't even appear until about half way through, and the book is 1000+ pages). They were definitely a lot rougher than their Fab Four image. Great stories about John bangining 15 year old twins, Brian Epstein having to get doctors to deal the with the lad's VD, and Paul having to leave town to avoid the angry father of a girl he knocked up. Good read!

Not true. I grew up in the 60s listening to and loving both and so did most the people I knew. I never even heard this either/or absolutism until nearly 20 years after The Beatles broke up.
Now that I'm older, I like The Animals better than either.

Hey thanks. If you hadn't just taught me that opinions don't matter, I might have had another one.
