3- Chuck Berry
“His stories were more like poems than lyrics—the likes of ‘Johnny B. Goode’ or ‘Maybellene.’ To us he was a magician making music that was exotic yet normal at the same time. We learnt so many things from him which led us into a dream world of rock ‘n’ roll music.” Paul McCartney

8- Bob Dylan
The Beatles discovered his music through his second studio album Freewheelin’, and they met in person for the first time on 28 August 1964 at the Delmonico Hotel in New York City. Dylan impacted the Beatles in two primary ways: First, although they had taken Preludin in Hamburg, and had a history with alcohol (with Lennon more so than the others), Bob Dylan furthered the Beatles drug use by introducing them to marijuana. Legend has it that Dylan misheard the lyrics to “I Want to Hold You Hand” (“And when I touch you I feel happy inside, it’s such a feeling that my love I can’t hide, I can’t hide, I can’t hide”) as “I get high, I get high, I get high”. It’s called the gateway drug for a reason, and thereafter the Beatles’ drug use escalated exponentially. Read more at http://www.aaronkrerowicz.com/beatles-blog/bob-dylans-influence-on-the-beatles
