Think about how many people in this tournament who were influenced by the Beatles at one point or another. I am not a Beatlemaniac, but man they were that good. Even their most famous cover band, Oasis, has made quite a career for themselves.Oh Britney, reality television will always welcome you with open arms.

You’re right: I think you could even make an argument that Nine Inch Nails draws inspiration from the Fab Four. Nobody working in modern popular music can really say that they aren’t inspired by them, at least a little bit.
