## Key points

- The Beatles inspired musicians across rock and pop.
- Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne and Sting all credited them.
- Their success encouraged others to write songs.

## Summary

The article argues that The Beatles inspired musicians across genres, including hard rock, punk and pop, by showing that a band could write its own songs and become a global success. It says that example helped give later artists the confidence to pursue music, even when their styles were far removed from the Fab Four’s.

Lemmy praised The Beatles’ originality, humour and live performances, and said they outshone The Rolling Stones. Ozzy Osbourne recalled hearing “She Loves You” and said it made him want a career in music; Sting said The Beatles gave a younger generation permission to write its own songs. The article presents their influence as a common thread in the careers of all three musicians.
