Well, actually, The Beatles are my Beatles.
However, moving ahead to my teen years, The Ramones had nearly as much lasting impact for me as The Beatles.? So, I guess The Ramones are my OTHER Beatles.

OK...the iPod was on shuffle mode while I was preparing dinner and it happened
to be kicking out a lot of early to mid period R.E.M. As I listened, I began to
think that more than any other band, these guys really seemed to be the
soundtrack to my coming of age, both on a musical and personal level. I
realized that so many memorable and fun moments occurred while R.E.M. were
blasting away in the background. Maybe it was the two glasses of wine I had
ingested, but I suddenly realized that R.E.M were my Beatles, in that they
seemed to encapsulate both everything I was experiencing at that time and
everything I aspired to be.
If there is another younger band or artist that had a major impact on your life
in a way that the Beatles impacted an earlier generation, what is it?
