When I was younger, I saw this show on AMC called 'Hollywood Rocks the 
Movies', narrated by Ringo. It was heavily influential in my view of the 
music of the Fifties and Sixties. It included lots of little bits of the 
original artists, in their old age, talking about what was happening back 
then.

There was one part where Brian Wilson said that when the Beatles hit, they

basically took over the charts, and he felt the need to compete against
them 
and it drove him to write better music, 'because we didn't want the
Beatles 
to take it ALL over. Save a space in your hearts for the Beach Boys, 
please!'

And I always have.
