[Woodstock]

Some one else besides me appreciates polythene pam
I like Polythene Pam, I just don't think it's the best off the album.

[Anafterthought]

The Beatles should and cd called Beatles 2 cause there's a lot of great songs missing from the Beatles 1 like Birthday, back in the USSR and Twist and Shout

[Walrus Gumboot]

Polythene pam.... is there any mention of a kilt in there?
Seafroggies, may I contribute to your list?
wtih the beatles:All My Loving, Till There was You




Which is the most under-rated Beatles Album?
Suggestions: Magical Mystery Tour, Rubber Soul

[DeusExMachina]

MX needs to show more love for "When I'm 64". :(


Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?

I'd say MMT is pretty underrated. No one mentions it, but it has some of their best songs ever on it. I personally think the first four tracks are pretty average (only in relation to other Beatles stuff. i.e. they're all amazing) but I Am the Walrus and all the tracks after it are unbelievably good.

[Walrus Gumboot]

mmm I am the Walrus's "video" is just too funny/brilliant for words

Maybe it was considered more of a compilation/soundtrack than an album, but you know
Great Movie, MMT was

[Woodstock]

I love MMT, and I don't think it's underrated. But just imagine if Strawberry Fields Forever was on Sgt. Pepper!

[Seafroggys]

I love MMT, and I don't think it's underrated. But just imagine if Strawberry Fields Forever was on Sgt. Pepper!

Oh baby, that would be what God would make if he was a musician.

Well, Strawberry Fields Forever was originally gonna be on Sgt. Pepper's (or released alongside it), but they had to release a single due to their contract, and they released that and Penny Lane in February 67.....Sgt. Pepper's wasn't released until June, and MMT came out that November (filling up the rest of the album with several singles that had been released that weren't on albums).

[DeusExMachina]

Why wasn't Hey Jude on any of the studio albums? Unless it was and I'm just stupid...

[Woodstock]

Why wasn't Hey Jude on any of the studio albums? Unless it was and I'm just stupid...
No, it wasn't on any studio albums I know of. But, it was on a record single, it was the Hey Jude/Revolution record.

[whatduffhuck7]

in the opening statement he says "i think beatles were more of a studio band than a live band" in the beatles anthology book it says that they didnt even reherse there songs when they where doing a live show. the crowd was so crazy you couldnt even hear what they were playing. so they didnt even try. then on show the crowd was very calm and sat in there chiars and listened, they were not ready for that and sounded aweful.
the places they played at had so much security becuase people treid to climb onstage. there concerts where chaos. ive never experinced one of them becuase im only 17 but this is what ive read from the beatles anthology book.

[GeorgeHarrison]

Does anyone have the "let it be naked CD"
i would like to say that the solo for let it be is SOOO much better that the solo for the original let it be album.
But the naked version really dumbs down the awkward weirdness o across the universe

Yeah, I have it and I think it's much better than the original.

[Seafroggys]

Yeah, I have Let it Be Naked, and don't plan on buying the original. But in order to have every Beatle song, I'll have to download Maggie Mae and Dig it. Oh well.

[The Spliggity Splot]

my dad went to the shae stadium show

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah, I have it and I think it's much better than the original.

I agree however, the original is the original.......no?

[DeusExMachina]

My dad met Paul, John, and Yoko Ono when he lived in London. He made posters for bands for a living, and met them on a trip to Abbey Road studio trying to sell his designs. Cool stuff.

That would of been awesome if I could of done that. If there was one person that I could ever meet, it would be John Lennon.

[i am the robots]

Yeah, Lennon = Rock God.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah. Well, apparently, Paul was much more talkative and playful then John.

[Woodstock]

Yeah. Well, apparently, Paul was much more talkative and playful then John.
Lennon had his funny moments though.

In the movies John is the goofy one.

Let It Be ...Naked is the just the straight studio recordings. It doesn't have the orchestra(sp?) like the original version had.

one of my favorite songs is "octupuses garden", go ringo. either that or "i want you (shes so heavy)"

but the coolest sounding song by george harrison has got to be "please don't be long" or something like that. its awsome.

[Woodstock]

Oh no, my birthday is the day after George's death anniversary. I didn't even like the Beatles when he died so I didn't really care. I was an idiot.

Another thing I missed out on was Neil Young on Conan O'Brien.

Goerge Harrison wrote much better songs than that. What about Something or Here Comes the Sun?

[guitrguy]

Or While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, I love Harrison's songs. On a slightly different note, does anyone else think Blackbird is really underrated? Quite possibly the best song on The White Album, in my opinion. Although Julia is really good too.

I think Blackbird is a little underrated...before I became crazy about the Beatles I had never heard it or even heard of it. I dont think its the best song on the White Album though. Julia is not my favorite song..at all. It's alright sometimes, but Im not too crazy about it.



what do y'all think of the song Piggies?

[Maynard]

so i just asked my friend about the beatles.. heres the conversation.

While my Guitar Gently Weeps is my favourite.:) It includes Clapton so it oughta be good.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

While My Guitar Gently weeps is my favorite too. my second favorite by Harrison would be Here Comes the Sun...I think. do you know why Harrison had Clapton play lead for WMGGW? is it just because they were friends..I never really knew why Harrison didnt play it himself.

did you know Harrison wrote Savoy Truffle for Clapton?..I thought that was kinda interesting...

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah Harrison played on the song "Badge" for Cream.:)

I think its partly because they were friends, and partly because he was having trouble writing the solo for it, and partly because they needed another person to play (ringo is playing drums, paul bass, john piano, george acoustic guitar, and clapton lead guitar)

[anarchist_cup_cake]

Some guy I go to school with said he didnt like the Beatles, so I asked him why not. He said he'd only heard two songs, Yellow Submarine(which he disliked) and A Hard Day's Night(which he said he liked)....those are the kind of people that bother me. A lot of people dont give the Beatles a chance because they havent heard enough from them. I bet half the people I know would flip out if they heard Helter Skelter and if I told them it was by the Beatles...

Frankly, I couldn't care less if they started the British invasion or not. Sure liking them for what they started is okay, but we like them for their music. But I really dont see what their inspirations have to do with anything.

I've listened to about 98% of their music, and it sounds like no other band. They were completely original with bold ideas at a time when people were burning their records.

Cool. Its always interesting to hear other artists attempt to pull off Beatles songs (like the "I am Sam" soundtrack) but they rarely pull it off, unfortunately.

Though Rufus Wainwright did a cover of "Across the Universe" which I am quite fond of: probably the combination of Wainwright and the Beatles... excellent mix, in my opinion :thumb:

A music shop downtown sells Moogs for $70. Because of Abbey Road its the best synthesized sound I'd ever heard (and the first electronic synth too)...would any of you invest in one for that price?

The beatles are the greatest band ever. They deserve an official thread. They are legends amonst legends.

[morrissey]

^^^^^^^^^^^

agreed :).

No matter how you slice it, even if you dislike the Beatles for whatever reason, you would still have to admit they are the greatest band... a few others come close (the Smiths anyone? just kidding, but... I like them :amaze: )... but no one surpasses the Beatles.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I hope somewhere, someday, someone will surpass the Beatles... What a great day that will be, eh?
Musicians that bring a whole new spirit to the land, and spark a musical revolution that lasts for 40 years...
It seems like everything is going to hell though since "The Man" bought everything involving music.
Maybe there will be some seroius social/polictical/economic issues that will cause another counterculture uprising!

Any Ideas?

Most people who listen to metal (actually about 5 nu metal band + Metallica in the case of these guys) think that The Beatles were "pansey ***** ****s".

What he says. Not many bands could do half of what the Beatles did in 1964 alone.

It's nice to see that people respect other artists from another type of genre because of their accomplishments.

I doubt it will happen in our generation, but it will happen one day. With the Beatles everything just came together perfectly, and that will be hard to reach again, but it can happen.

Hey Jude

Can someone please tell me about Hey Jude? I know it's one of their better songs... It was on the album "Hey Jude". (correct me if i'm wrong). When did hey jude (album/single) come out in the scheme of things? what songs did it have on it?

[*BONO VOX*]

I dont really agree actually...... Bono was the fifth beatle. They were really more a skiffle band from the 1980's. A mersey beat group from ireland. Lennon always said that it was better to not be irish and to stay at home in bed..... you know... "Bed Peace" But really it was Bono who made the Beatles. Without Bono no one would even know who Elvis is. I mean... COME ON! It's the BEATLES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

[Illmatic]

I'm 99.9% sure that "Hey Jude" was a b-side.

[clown_phobia]

a b-side to what single?

[*BONO VOX*]

Hey Jude was not a b side dumbass. It was on the album called HEY JUDE. Ringo was a good drummer, he just couldn't read music. He played to fit the music, which is more than we can say about most modern day drummers. John had the best solo career. They're later stuff was better... namely because it was more complicated, and Bob Dylan introduced them to more in depth lyrics and drugs. The early stuff was good too. YOU'RE RIGHT! ITS CATCHY! Excellent hooks. That cant be taught... its all instinct. Sergent peppers, while revolutionary was NOT their best album ( And not the first concept album. That was Pet Sounds by the "beach boys" George Harrison was phenominal. Paul, though a bit of an ***, was a sweet bass player (Dear Prudence IS the one to check out). John hated the sound of his own voice. Yoko DID NOT break apart the band. Let it be Naked WAS NOT A STUDIO ALBUM!!! IT WAS A STRIPPED DOWN LIVE OFF THE FLOOR ALBUM! The original tapes of the let it be session. Ringo is NOT dead. You can see John playing in the Bath in the movie "A Hard Days Night" (Best part of the whole freakin thing) Yes, they couldnt act. Ringo wasn't the VOICE of the conductor on Thomas the Tank engine.... HE WAS THE CONDUCTOR. The White album is awsome. Heck.... they're all awsome. There was a guy in the band before they were the Beatles who couldnt actually play guitar... he just stood there with one because he wanted to be in the band. Ringo was funny. John was the leader. Paul IS Sir Paul McCarntney... BUT his first name isn't Paul. It's James. Johns middle name was Winston.... but he changed it to Ono when got married. Brian Epstien (thats their manager...) commited suicide. Revolution 9 is all tape loops...... It's interesting from a studio point of veiw and actually quite complicated and impressive. They were the FIRST band to use tape loops AND backwards guitar (cause it is a tape loops!) AND the Sitar in the western world.... IT WASNT THE STONES!.. god bless their souls, but it wasnt them. The Beatles have two stories for where they got their name..... 1) The Beatles a spoof off of buddy holly's Crickets... spelt with an A in "beetles" to make the word "Beat" directly mentioning the Beat poets (if you dont know what that is... you never will) 2) (Lennons version) "Well I had this dream and a man came to me on a flaming pie and said 'you're going to be the beatles.... with an a' " For proof check out McCartneys album "Off the Ground " and the liner notes on the song "Flaming pie" 3 words... "the Butcher cover"... an early protest to the Vietnam war which became the album Beatles 65'... which features the band on the cover sitting nicely with umbrellas.... instead of pieces of meat and broken dolls (The "Butcher cover" was recalled in the first week and is very rare.) one more thing....

ANYONE WHO SAYS THEYRE MUSIC IS SIMPLE........... Try. Just TRY notating note for note one of they're later peices. I suggest starting with Chords... then drums, bass..... work it up from there. Oh and a warning..... Not everythings in four four. Also they borrow chords. For example in the key of C (I'll try and keep this simple but I'm using 7th chords here) there is Cmaj7 Dmin7 Emin7 Fmaj7 G7 Amin7 and Bmin7(b5) they would use those and then take more from lets say.... G maj. so there you have Gmaj7 Amin7 Bmin7 Cmaj7 D7 Emin7 and F#min7(b5) So in otherwords..... theyd take say.... C F and G from the C scale and D7 and F#min7(b5) from G. FOR ANYONE WHOS STILL READING! That is why they sounded so different. They were the FIRST band to hit America in the First wave british invasion carrying with them the classical chord structures they had grown up with, mushed into a rock n' roll beat. Frickin awsome. Anyone who can copy their post Dylan influenced music exactly..... kudos to you cause it's really REALLY hard.

Now.... could we please talk about Bono.

Hey Jude

Can someone please tell me about Hey Jude? I know it's one of their better songs... It was on the album "Hey Jude". (correct me if i'm wrong). When did hey jude (album/single) come out in the scheme of things? what songs did it have on it?


the hey jude album came out just before the white album. it was mostly new recordings but had a few of their earlier songs like i saw her standing there and can't but me love.
also on the album is the single version of revolution. with a lot of hard guitar and a great scream by lennon at the beginning of the song. the other version of revolution is on the beatles ( the white album )
the ballad of john and yoko can be found on the hey jude album along with paperback writer.
all in all, the album contained some of their finest work.
hey jude was the first song to be played on the radio which was over five minutes long. all the radio stations agreed to change their format so that they could play the song. which was a single and had one of the first music videos ever made.
music videos were made by the beatles as promotional tools to help sell their albums. although they came up with revolutionary ideas to promote their music, they were terrible business men and nearly went bankrupt with apple records. their record lable.
anything else you want to know smart guy?

Ermm I don't have any problem talking about Bono... but this is the Beatles thread. Go start a U2 thread (if there are none lying around), and I'll be happy to discuss with you.

What album is Day Tripper on? (british album)

[morrissey]

It isn't on a British album (to my knowledge), it was just released as a single.

But you can find it on numerous "best of..." albums (such as "1")

[Woodstock]

Was that Bono guy trying to show off his Beatles knowledge or something? He knows a lot and all, but show it off when pertaining to a certain conversation. And no talking about Bono, it is a Beatles thread.

If anyone has the 1 album, they kind find what record it was off of. Just look in the information booklet, and it'll tell what album each song was off of.

[DonMancini]

I own the blue album compilation, and I listen to it all the time :p I really love the beatles. I was considering buying some albums (I.E. Sergent pepper's lonely hearts club band, abbey road, revolver, and maybe a few others) but I'm not sure if it's worth it considering I already own that previously-mentioned compilation :p

Suggestions?

Definitely buy the albums you mentioned, I don't think compilations do the Beatles justice.

[guitrguy]

All of them is what suggest.

But start off witht he white album, abbey road, magical mystery tour, revolver

ok cool thanks I'll look into it :)

Oh and another question *feels like a beatles n00b* What album is yesterday on?

It's on "Help!".

Since the blue album has the later songs (its 1967-70, right?) I would start off buying an earlier album like "Hard Day's Night" or "Help!", they have lots of great songs as well. But if you want to stick with the later stuff, go with the albums mentioned above :thumb:

You really can't go wrong with whatever album you choose.

Ok cool :) Yeah it's 67-70.

Well I kind of prefer their later stuff to their earlier stuff, but I still like it so I'll see. If not, I can always buy their red album and buy their latter albums that were mentioned above.

But I think I'll just go for the normal albums, no compilations :p Thanks very much for the tips guys.

[morrissey]

Seriously... compliation albums are a good way to get into the music, but afterwards it is just rehashing the same songs over and over. The "Anthology" series is the one exception, but other than that, stick with real albums :thumb:

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Though Rufus Wainwright did a cover of "Across the Universe" which I am quite fond of: probably the combination of Wainwright and the Beatles... excellent mix, in my opinion :thumb:[/QUOTE]

is that on a commercial? or is that someone else's cover of Across the Universe?

[Walrus Gumboot]

mmm and plus, when you finally get the real albums, you are already sick of the ones on the compilations

Sgt. Pepper's got me hooked, although I got ahold of Abbey Road first, but I couldn't really appriciate it until after I heard some of their other stuff

Their earlier stuff is addictive, but the charm wears off after awhile

How is "Beatles for Sale?" is it more like A Hard Day's Night or Rubber Soul?

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Beatles For Sale is more like A Hard Day's Night

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

but there are only 8 original Beatles songs and 6 covers(one Chuck Berry, two Carl Perkins, one Buddy Holly, and the other two I havent heard of)

IMO not their best, but still good

I don't know that it is on a commercial, it might have been on the I Am Sam soundtrack, but don't quote me on that. I downloaded it a year ago or so... Rufus Wainwright is a semi-famous musician, not everyone has heard of him... he was the one who sang "Halelujah" for that Shrek movie?

[Seafroggys]

For the Hey Jude discussion earlier:

Hey Jude was not on a studio album. Capitol released in the US the Hey Jude album, which was mostly stuff already released and stuff, but it was never on their actual studio albums. And it was the A-side....the B-side was Revolution (much better song imo :thumb: )

[DeusExMachina]

Yowza, this thread moved fast when I was gone... To the person asking about getting albums and the compilations and all... If you have the 67-70 compilation, I'd suggest getting Revolver (first really experimental album of theirs, plus it was released in 66.) On a slightly different note, does anyone know why Rock Not Roll was banned?

[guitrguy]

Nope, I just asked him earlier.

[clown_phobia]

you should get every studio album, as well as "hey jude" and "let it be: naked"

[DeusExMachina]

I own all studio albums except Hard Days Night, plus Let It Be: naked, plus One, plus all the anthologies.

[Woodstock]

I have Rubber Soul onward, I've basically heard all the songs on the first albums, so I dont see a reason to get them.

[guitrguy]

Their first ones would be nice to get, but I want to work on my Zeppelin and Floyd collection now.

[I Am Vikingcore]

My Beatles collection is pretty big, don't own any of their CDs myself, just ripped them onto my comp from my sister.

I dont have Yellow Submarine(old or new) or Let It Be...Naked or the Anthology ones but I'm asking for them for Christmas. :D

Definitely get the Anthologies... for a fan who knows the songs, they are really interesting. Yellow Submarine is.. meh, but hey, its the Beatles... even that CD is 100 times better then some other CDs ;)

Did anyone here know that The Ramones named themselves after Paul McCartney?

I thought he was saying that he was a guest player for his little brother. And he didn't want to steal the spotlight or anything, so he used a pseudonym (I'm not sure if that is what he means though). But it seems pointless, since when they go see them live people will likely recognize Paul...

I went to see a Beatles tribute band a while back. Twas an amazing show.

Funny story involved in the show
The dude who was portraying John Lennon said "Are there any hippies in the house", and I alone in the very top row stood up and screaming "HELL YEA!" and "John Lennon" replied "Ok thats one guy...."

[guitrguy]

Was that 1964?

Back when John and Paul first met, Paul impressed John when he played the guitar upside down.

[morrissey]

Wasn't that why he was allowed to join the band in the first place? He played some solo (I think it was an Eddie Cochrane tune, I'm not sure) upside down, and John was impressed enough to let him join the Quarrymen.

[Woodstock]

My parents got me into the Beatles, then I got my friends into them.

[morrissey]

cool.. my first Beatles song I heard was "come together"... 4 or 5 years ago, I've been a fan ever since :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

I first heard the Beatles when I was 5, the cover of Johnny B Goode. Been hooked ever since.

[RNR]

We used to sing Octopus's garden in 3rd grade :cool:

I can safely say that I pwn Ringo vocally.

[lunch998]

My parents have always been listening to the Beatles, so I guess that's where I got it from.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I found my dad's cassettes and one of them was Bad Company. I listened to it and in the song "Shooting Star," it says something like '...Johnny learned his first Beatles song, Love Me Do I think it was and from there it didnt take him long...' Then I was babysitting and I stumbled upon Beatles 1 (which I noticed had Love Me Do on it) and decided I needed to buy it. From then on I was hooked and continued to spend all my money on Beatles CDs. My dad helped me get even more into them because he was a huge Beatles fan back in the day. He told me that he almost got to go to a Beatles concert in 1964, but he and his siblings decided not to go because they didnt think they would be able to hear the music or anything.

[Distant Echoes]

I acutally respected the beatles a little about 3 years ago, and after i heard Beatles 1...i really didnt like them that much, the songs really didnt apeal to me except a couple, but after i heard Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts club band, i loved them, and found a deeper respect for their music.

Our local radio station in Philadelphia (102.9), Has something called Breakfast with the Beatles every morning, about a half an hour on weekdays, and about 3 hours on Sunday morning (which is when i listen to it), but they play everything beatles related, songs, covers, unreleased material, and stuff i have no idea how they got their hands on, but its pretty cool.

But no, my parents never influeneced me to listen to the beatles...i wonder why?

Magical Mystery Tour > Revolver(for now anyways)

[morrissey]

Revolver > MMT ... the controversy! :eek:

[DeusExMachina]

I say, Revolver is more consistently good, because all the tracks are great. However, MMT has about 5 or 6 tracks that are just unbelievably good.

[RNR]

IN Calgary the radio station (the good one) has "the beatles brunch". Right around 11am or so it's an hour long show dedicated to beatles music, news and stuff. Very cool :cool:

[Seafroggys]

How I got into the Beatles? This is the story of my life.

I was always kinda into them. We'd bring our Beatle cassettes with us on car trips starting around fifth grade (btw for relevance I'm a senior now), and these tapes were Sgt. Pepper's/MMT era. I was kinda into them, but not really. Also, before I was 6, Yellow Submarie was my favorite movie, but I saw our copy so many times I ruined it before I finished Kintergarten.

In summer of 99, I got really depressed for multiple reasons. Then they re-released Yellow Submarine and stuff. Purely for nostalgic purposes, I bought the movie that week-end, and when I saw it the next day, and I listened to Nowhere Man, something in my mind clicked. Because I was exactly that....every lyric was talking about me! I fell in love with The Beatles ever since then.


Oh, and MMT>Revolver, mostly because I've just had MMT for a couple of weeks, and not enough time to get over the "Yay, sweet new badass music" stage I hit, whereas I got Revolver two years ago.

[JamesPatrickPageZoSo]

I've been waiting for someone to bring up my favorite band! I've got every beatles cd including several bootlegs and plenty LPs. My fav Beatles song (and i've got plenty) is I'm Only Sleeping, its such a great song. Lets also not forget to reflect on this sad day (Lennon was killed 24 years ago today). Listen to some lennon today and everyday.

I "found" Abbey Road first, then got kinda bored with it until I found Sgt Pepper's and then I was H-O-O-K-E-D. (A Day InThe Life could end the world... its that good) I listened to it for an entire month until I found MMT and the rest is history

I don't think that was pete, but I haven't seen that footage in a while.

yeah I think Ringo got really sick very easily, so he needed to be replaced sometimes, but that was after pete and stu were gone

"I'm only sleeping" is also one of my favorites.. dispite not being on a favorites list.. ever..
RIP John Lennon and my grandmother who died a few hours ago
I "found" Abbey Road first, then got kinda bored with it until I found Sgt Pepper's and then I was H-O-O-K-E-D. (A Day InThe Life could end the world... its that good) I listened to it for an entire month until I found MMT and the rest is history


BTW totally random, what does Deus Ex Machina mean, Ms. Threadstarter?


Deus Ex Machina was a plot device in Greek dramas, it translates into "machine of the Gods." Its basically divine intervention.

REST IN PEACE JOHN LENNON! THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

[Walrus Gumboot]

hmm interesting

I will say one last thing today, in honor of John Lennon:

GOO GOO GOO JOOB

goodnight and rest in peace... all of you

[RNR]

Oh that's right. Lennon died 24 years ago TODAY :eek:

I'm going to pray for his ghost to come and stuff. Maybe we can have a guitar jam session ;)

[morrissey]

Good luck with that ;)

[RNR]

[RNR]

[DeusExMachina]

[clown_phobia]

[morrissey]

[Seafroggys]

happiness is a warm, yes it is guuuuuuun. bang bang shoot shoot. BTW, can anybody name the only other non-beatle to tour with the beatles for a short time as a beatle?

I know who you're talking about, but don't remember his name. He I believe filled in for Ringo during their first world tour in 1964 while they were in Australia I think. He was in for two weeks, because Ringo was really sick.

Also, John died 24 years ago (I think that's already been mentioned). I walked over where he got shot too, and I've been to the Strawberry Fields section of Central Park.

AND THE ANSWER IS: Jimmy Nichols, who played drums while ringo was sick w/ pnemonia (spelling). Also R.I.P. My hero who died tonight 24 years ago. Long live his soul, spirit, and message.

P.S.
I blame Yoko for nothing more than making John Lennon a happier person, which is alright if you ask me.

oh yeah, another thing. there is a great documentary on the TrueStories network tonight. If you have the channel i highly recomend watching it, its called "imagine: john lennon" i like the part where he talks to a drugged out hippie who has been sleeping in his garden and then lennon invites him in for tea and food. dont miss it.

:naughty: :naughty: :wave: TMA...
hi guys,
i just like to say that the beatles r clearly the best band ever.
Cmon they recorded 214 songs in 7 years they are very good song writers and they r great. Now wat is everyones fave album and song by the beatles, for me that is a hard question my fave original album is let it be or abbey road but alot of people dissagree. There early music was great, a hard days night was a classic album same with rubber soul and sgt peppers there both great sgt peppers was there biggest turning point compared to Revolver and my least fave album is yellow sumbarine. THere is no way i have a fave song by them, there is 2 many to choose from.
My fave album by them is Past Masters Vol 2 but i no that it is not original but it has the best songs on it.
So have a think and reply

[Walrus Gumboot]

someday I aspire to be a drugged up hippie living in someone's garden.

[DeusExMachina]

Why does Rock Not Roll keep getting banned...?

Don't worry Walrus Gumboot, you can do it! I have faith in you!

[^Dream~Theater^]

My friend said the beatles didnt write any of their material, or play any of their instruments. I'm not a beatles fan so i wouldn't know. But you guys do so help me out.

yeah i saw that on new years day at about 3 am once!

it was really good - my dad even has the soundtrack!

Did you know that john lennon's death was exactly 24 years before Dimebag Darrell's death?

No, that is in no way true. Each member played their own intruments and they wrote most of their own songs. They did play some covers though. The beatles were some of the best songwriters ever.

Your friend knows nothing about The Beatles then.

He was spaaming the community thread.

[morrissey]

No, he asked to be temporarily banned.. he thought it was a cool idea.

[Woodstock]

What should I get, the new John Lennon Acoustic CD or the Plastic Ono Band?

[morrissey]

I would go with the John Lennon CD... or get both ;)
