Probably my two biggest musical influences were the Everly Brothers and the Beatles, in chronological order. Both of them have had a very simple-sounding musical style that's actually quite complex as far as popular songs are concerned.

Arlo Guthrie

My experience with Buffalo Springfield was that they did not rehearse.

Jim Messina

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

Dwight Yoakam

I decided to build up my band in Buffalo because Buffalo was where I had originally built up my own musical strength.

Rick James

"Go and Say Goodbye" by the Buffalo Springfield stands as one of the first examples of what would later be branded country rock

Chris Hillman

It is better to pay tribute of gold to the enemy than tribute of blood in war.

Stefan Zweig

It just annoyed me that people got so into the Beatles. "Beatles, Beatles, Beatles." It's not that I don't like talking about them. I've never stopped talking about them. It's "Beatles this, Beatles that, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles." Then in the end, it's like "Oh, sod off with the Beatles," you know?

George Harrison

'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.

Chris Cornell

I wanted to completely honor The REV and pay tribute to him and carry on the legacy that he intended with this record.

Mike Portnoy

I love the Beatles, and when I was very young, I had young parents, so Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles constantly were big influences on my life.

Phil Anselmo

When we were first creating the look of 'Kung Fu Panda,' we wanted to pay tribute to the beautiful tradition and culture of China.

Jennifer Yuh Nelson

I remember that first week at the Whisky and the gigs we (The Buffalo Springfield) did with the Byrds, We could really smoke ! That band never got on record as bad, and as hard as we were. Live we sounded like the Rolling Stones.

Stephen Stills

If The Beatles represent the most successful version you can be of a thing, then by that definition The Rolling Stones are The Beatles of music, not counting The Beatles. John Lennon is The Beatles of The Beatles.

Dana Gould

'Supafunkrock' is a musical gumbo. We throw all those musical influences into the pot and put it out there.

Trombone Shorty

Our influences are who we are. It's rare that anything is an absolutely pure vision; even Daniel Johnston sounds like the Beatles. And that's the problem with the bands I'm always asked about, the ones derivative of the early Seattle sound. They don't dilute their influences enough.
