A legacy of endless musical innovation—including Ringo Starr's surprisingly funky drum licks—has drawn artists to The Beatles since the early days of sampling. Dozens of acts, from A Tribe Called Quest to Sublime to The Roots to Animal Collective, have recycled riffs from rock's most famous band. Press play and listen for bits and pieces of the Fab Four. And while you're at it, pay special attention to "The Sounds of Science" by The Beastie Boys: the dizzying mash-up of multiple Beatles samples is wickedly clever.
