“The finest dozen computer scientists I know are all musicians” – Steve Jobs.

Steve jobs was an enterprenuer & the founder of Apple. But more than anything, he was an artist. And like every artist, he drew much of his inspiration from other artists.

Jobs was a big fan of Bob Dylan and collected live bootlegs as a teenager and had Dylan albums on his iPod.

Jobs named his company Apple after learning The Beatles were signed Apple Records earlier in their career. In fact, when asked to choose between the Beatles and the Stones, Jobs said, “If the vault was on fire and I could grab only one set of master tapes, I would grab the Beatles.”

Bach was also a favorite. He liked the versions of The Goldberg Variations recorded by pianist Glenn Gould in 1955 and 1981. “I used to like the younger, exuberant one. But now I can see where he was coming from.”
