I agree that your missing out if you claim not to like the Beatles. There is something for everyone in their music. I have always admired their ability to write music as well as perform. The music world needs another Lennon/McCartney team.
Billy Joel is a good example of Beatle influence. If your not a fan, at least check out some of his work. You will see a lot of Beatle inspired stuff in his music.
