Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
When I was younger, so much younger than today...
I used to listen to Sugar Ray, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Blu Cantrell, and all that Top 40 fluffy stuff. Things have gotten so much better with the Beatles.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
what did I listen to before the beatles? did I even *have* a life before the beatles? let's see, I was 14 when the Anthology came on television and completely changed my life forever... to be perfectly honest with you, my life really started for me when I was 14. Everything before then just gets lost in a blur, you know?

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
There was no life before the Beatles, at least for me.
Before The Beatles I had only 2 cd's, one from a spanish singer and one from Blink 182. I have not listened those cd's in years.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
I've been listening to the Beatles since I was 8 years old... so before that, probably kiddie records.  Seriously, there is so much GOOD music I've listened to over the years thanks to the Beatles.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
Well, I always liked The Beatles, they were entertwined throughout my life.
I went thru many 'stages' of music.
1. Donny Osmond/Jasckon 5 and the bubblegum stuff
2. Boston, Journey, Elton John
3. Aerosmith, Lynard Skynard, Led Zep
And now I like most of it still, and have added Springsteen, Dylan, and quite a few others.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
I don't think I really liked anything before the Beatles... I got into the Fabs when I was about 12, before then I didn't really have my own music interests. I just listened to whatever my parents played.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
Well my first real interest in music was Cleopatra. Dose anyone remeber them?? Because I don't....
And then sadly I got into The Backstreet boys and N*SYNC and all that crap but thankfully that did not last long. And not soon after I got into country with the Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain and stuff, and in truth I'm still into that kind of stuff and it’s the only other kind of music I really like.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
I was only 8 when I "met the Beatles," but before that, I listened to country-and-western- the old stuff, like Johnny Cash. Hmm...at about 10 years old, I think I liked REM, Martina McBride and Sheryl Crow, and Alanis Morisette's "Jagged Little Pill" album. In fifth grade, my friends and I dressed up like the Spice Girls (I was Posh Spice) but I didn't like them, I only wanted to be a part of my friends' Halloween. The Beatles have always been a part of my life.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
i use to listen to Christian stuff like Carmen. Most of the time just oldies. I was into Monty Python long before I was into the Beatles.

Re: What did you like before you liked the Beatles?
Let's see----hmmm. I seem to recall it was artists like: Rod Stewart, Carly Simon, Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Van Halen. But, the first album I ever owned (years before these people) was a Carpenters album.  Given to me by my Mom because she approved of them.
