Without any doubt it was The Beatles She Loves You in 1963 when I heard it coming from a cafes duke box in Floriana, Malta.

It was sooo different to anything else I had heard, and I then fell madly in love with the Fab Four :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* 8) ;)
The likes of them had never been seen before, nor since,  and their music still makes millions of dollars 50 years after they split up.

Yet after they split up the only one who showed real musical talent, imo, was George Harrison. The great songwriting team of Lennon & McCartney were useless unless they had the other one to bounce off, or threaten their ego.
McCartney gave an Interview in a newspaper today (Sunday Times ?) where he says he was high on some drug or other and he met God.  ::)
Not sure if he was looking in the mirror at the time, or it was the first time he met Eric Clapton.  :D

Not a big fan of their early work which was quite mundane.

Later on with the help of LSD and other 'aids' they became far more interesting. :)

I often wonder if George Martin was an even bigger piece of the jigsaw than is generally known ?
Lennon / McCartney seemed to be lost without him, post Beatles.

Someone had organised a school trip on a coach to Aberystwyth. A group of us escaped into the amusement arcade at the Pier. Blasting out was The Stones "The Last Time", at the time it seemed really loud, and that guitar ! That feeling remained with me, I still like loud rock, but louder !

I'm surprised Barry hasn't been on with his George Formby memories. 'When I'm cleaning windows' was a classic.

George Martin was the core musical driver and the conduit for the Beatles ever since their first recording audition with the group on the 6th June 1962 and the subsequent signing up of them by Parlophone. He channeled their creativity and was the key influence behind them from that time, but especially and crucially from the recording of Yesterday and onwards through Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and beyond, utilizing the advances in recording technology and mixing, with orchestration making an appearance.  He kept the Beatles sounds in advance of being 'up to date', and controlled the artistic clashes and differences that occurred within the group.  In short, he was crucial in the Beatles success, and is widely considered, especially by Sir Paul McCartney, to be the real '5th Beatle' rather than Stuart Sutcliffe. :-* :-* 8)
