The Beatles

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

True, but I like McCartney's solo stuff the best. Finished a review on Please Please Me. Pretty fly stuff.

On a side note, does anyone else like Magical Mystery Tour more than Sgt. Pepper?

[Seafroggys]

I do....MMT, to me, rocks more, and is less blegh then Pepper's.

/doesn't have MMT *checks track listing*

Now that you've brought it up, MMT kicks Sgt. Pepper's ***. There's some tracks on Sgt. Pepper that I could live without hearing again for the rest of my life *achoo-fixing a hole* *cough-lovely rita* and with Strawberry Fields, Hello Goodbye (gotta love the ending), Blue Jay Way, Baby Your A Rich Man and All You Need is Love it's definitley a contender for one of the Beatles best albums. But not owning the album I've never listened to it a whole, so I never realized this.

[Leper]

If you look wayyyy back in this thread I think I mentioned my love for MMT with great enthusiasm, and it's still my second favourite after Revolver.

[PrimalBreath]

*achoo-fixing a hole*

What's with the hate for Fixing A Hole? I love Sgt. Pepper; I find it to more or less a perfect album. But Mystery Tour just tops it with it's amazing song selection.

Check it.

[Seafroggys]

I agree on fixing a hole, but I find Lovely Rita to be one of the more rocking tracks on Sgt. Pepper's.

I commented on that review...I rated the album 5...but I think it was because I'm blinded by my love for the beatles. I do love every track on that album, but it's really not a classic, more so it's just a really great record worthy of a 4 or 4.5.

Anyone else cream there pants thinking about how great it would have been to hear the beatles playing on the rooftop?

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

Right as I posted that link ( I am PrimalBreath). I always show that performance to friends, expecting them to flip out about how awesome it was. Then I cry and realize I might like it too much. :(

I commented in that review

Ah, indeed you did.

Pfft, fan-boys. :p

Haha very weird...I went back to the review of Please Please Me to see if that was your review, and I found the link and I was watching it then I came back to this thread and PrimalBreath had posted the same link, and I was like...hmm..thats ironic. I prefer the rooftop video of Don't Let Me Down. I think going back into the second verse? John just sings jibberish, that's a classic moment, just seeing how much fun there having.

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

Yeah, I posted it in there too, but people on sputnik don't seem to appreciate the finer points of that performance. Don't Let Me Down is so under rated.

[El_Goodo]

Yeah, I posted it in there too, but people on sputnik don't seem to appreciate the finer points of that performance. Don't Let Me Down is so under rated.

It was on my top 10 favourite Beatle songs, on which you commented as being your exact list :naughty:

Right now I'm watching the video for Harrison's Crackerbox Palace, for some reason I find it hilarious. When he says the second line "My eyes could not yet see" his hand movements crack me up! But the dreaded moment the top of the youtube site warned me about has happened, and the sites now under construction.

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

John just sings jibberish, that's a classic moment, just seeing how much fun there having.

And it's ironic, if you take into account almost every point in the movie up to that concert they were bitching and arguing.

[El_Goodo]

http://www.allthingsmustpass.com/

This is a crazy site...go to the box that says Harrison albums, and click brainwashed...then go threw the crazy twisted ride that is the site...don't ruin the fun and click go straight to the garden.

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

That's ****ing weird. I wasn't quite sure what I was doing.

[Seafroggys]

When The Beatles were playing on Let it Be, their differences were put aside, and they just had fun.....and kicked ***. Of course, they needn't try, because they're just that way!

It doesn't matter what/who caused them to disband because they would've broken up very soon after they actually did anyways. I mean say they didn't break up when they did could you really see the Beatles surving into the 70's etc?

Which is sort of what I was saying. Slightly. However, it does matter who and what caused them to break up, as it's a topic of interest. Kind of like JFK. It doesn't matter who killed him, he would've been dead soon anyway, right?

Nah, I think I got the premise down.

Solo careers aside, if the Beatles were still a functioning unit, I think they'd be better than the Stones.

My personal opinion.

If Brian Jones didn't die and if Mick Taylor never quit and if the Stones broke up in the '82 they'd destroy the Beatles even more. If.

To me, that theory is laughable, as I personally don't have much love for the Stones. It is however, your opinion, and no words of mine will change it, just as nothing you say will change mine.

And I just read in the globe newspaper/magazine that Paul is considering making a new Beatles? With Ringo, Dhani and Sean or Julian or something, apparantley everything was so good at the reunion that Paul has considered this. But then again the globe is not the most reliable news source.

if there's a band thats formed because of that, they should NOT be called The Beatles, under any circumstances. Cause the legend and greatness of The Beatles will just die because of that. I mean, you might get by without George (and that's a big if) but without John, no way in hell.

George Harrison was a bigger part of The Beatles than he is given credit for. There is No doubt and everyone knows this that Paul and John were superior to Ringo and George, and they always will be, But George's guitar solo's in many songs made the song great. In fact, A guitar magazine did the 100 best guitar solos of all time and Geroges Solo in "And Your Bird Can Sing" was the only Beatle song on the list coming in at #69. Geroge also may have had the best 2 songs off of Abbey Road in my opnion, that being "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Ringo was the least important of The Beatles. The Beatles would have been great no matter what, But Ringo meant the least to the group, but without Ringo, we wouldnt hear Yellow Submarine, With A Little Help From My Friends,Octupuses Garden etc....

Hell dont get me wrong, I Love THe BEatles, I love all the members, i dont mean to diss of Ringo or George but its the truth. But Remember The Beatles ARE John, Paul,George and Ringo.......Forever.....

Yeah, well...that's just like...your opinion...man.

Its the majority of the world that The Beatles are the Greatest band to ever walk this earth, and The Beatles did things that in this world just wont ever be able to be matched again. Beatles Forever!

[The Clash]

*shits pants with rage*

I blame Ringo for the break-up...no one ever suspects Ringo.

lol....Ringo was the first Beatle to quit the beatles. During the making of The White Album, he quit for two weeks. When he came back, Flowers were laid on his drumset by George, John and Paul welcoming him back. In the meantime, Paul took over the drumming duties during his two week break. He is the drummer on "Back in the USSR" and "Dear Prudence"

[The Clash]

Name one Beatles solo album post-1973, excluding Brainwashed, that anyone could ever regard as a classic, or even good.

Double Fantasy to me is Classic

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5938174/the_rs_500_greatest_albums_of_all_time

This link above is the Rolling Stone magazines 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was released a couple years ago, But Just look in the top ten and You Will NOT be suprised where some classic Beatle albums rank.

[Jacaranda]

Wow edit much?

[Seafroggys]

Rolling Stone's lists suck, so I'm not even clicking on that link.

The only reason I say my George statements, is becaused I envishioned, had Lennon not been shot but Harrison still died from natural causes, I can see a Beatles form with John, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton. It would be pretty neat, they did play on each other's songs a lot. Just a weird envision I had.

[6stringed]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band..

[Seafroggys]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band..

yes! our savior has come! he has listed the most famous Beatles album ever! He is the tr00iest Beatles fan!

This thread can now end!

[robo2448]

There's a magnificant invention called the edit button. You might want to check it out so you don't have to post 5 times in a row.

And you can't say that George was less talented than John and Paul. Combining instrumental talent, singing, and songwriting, he may have been more talented than either of them. Instrumentally, he's undeniably miles ahead of John and though Paul is closer, he's still ahead of Paul too. Singing, he's behind both of them, but his voice is still great and gets very overlooked. His voice suited his songs perfectly. And as for songwriting, he didn't write as many great songs as either of them, but the best songs he ever wrote were just as good as the best John and Paul wrote. I'm not saying that he's more or even as talented as either of them, but to say he is undeniably less talented than either of them is flat-out stupid.

Double Fantasy is most certainly not classic. Good, yes, but Yoko's songs prevent it from being classic.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

I can't rank Beatles songs, but I know my top 10 would include Here Comes the Sun, While My Guitar Gently Wheeps, and Something...HCTS and WMGGW would be in the top five probably.

I firmly believe George was a better song-writer than Paul...sure he could write a great pop song, but George's songs were truly masterpieces.

I'm surprised that the solo for While My Guitar Gently weeps isn't on that solo list...but it was done by Clapton so it wouldn't count anyway.

[Up The Irons]

I'm not going to rank songwriting, because that's not what it's about, but I've said it before and I'll say it again. All Things Must Pass is truly a masterpiece of its time

[Jacaranda]

Instrumentally, he's undeniably miles ahead of John and though Paul is closer, he's still ahead of Paul too.
Paul was easily the most talented Beatle.
I firmly believe George was a better song-writer than Paul...sure he could write a great pop song, but George's songs were truly masterpieces
Ya you're right all four of them.

yeah i've seen that video before. George is playing an SG I believe, which shocks me, I didn't remember any of them playing Gibsons, I thought it was mostly Gretsch and Rickenbackers.

[BobJoHankins]

yeah i've seen that video before. George is playing an SG I believe, which shocks me, I didn't remember any of them playing Gibsons, I thought it was mostly Gretsch and Rickenbackers.

George used a SG on Paperback Writer, I know.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyyREr0Kp9Y

Just Remember, they started making videos of their songs to replace touring and performing on tv stations.

Basically, they invented MTV

P.S. Ringo is God

[El_Goodo]

I've got some sweet Beatles shirts lately! I got a brown shirt with the rubber soul cover on it, and on the back in red and yellow letters it says Rubber Soul. And my friend who just came back from Japan bought me a Beatles shirt with the hard days night cover as a souvenier!

[blue3]

Cool, I've seen that Rubber Soul shirt before. My friend who went to England bought me Beatles magnets, haha.

[The Clash]

that's why the guitar sounds so good on that song!

[6stringed]

They blew the whole "bigger than Jesus"
thing way out of proportion.

[Tyrion]

Favorite song for me on Sgt. Pepper's is A Day In the Life. I just love John's vocals, the melody bass, and the great drum rolls Ringo does.

[Dragon_Prince]

You have the same nickname as I do at some places ;) warhammeeeeeeeer

that song is in the top 5, I could listen to it over and over again.

[Scuba_Steve]

All Things Must Pass is truly a masterpiece of its time



My favourite post-beatles album by far.

I've heard various stories of george writing songs for the beatles and having John and Paul turn him down, giving him very little standing in the beatles from a general fan Point of View. Infact, a couple of the songs on All Things Must Pass were originally written for the beatles, but they were a few of the songs that got turned down.

[Up The Irons]

Yeah I've heard that too that must be why it's so damn long! :lol:

[RNR]

10 years of:

George: Hey guys, I wrote a song, wanna hear i...

John and Paul: No! All of your stuff sucks and the occasional time we do use one of your songs, it's never as good as ours.

Yep. No wonder.

[6stringed]

tee hee

[Converge]

I lovee the beatles. I finally got a whole album (let it be) its amazing, Across the Universe and Dont Let Me Down is probaly my favorite song on it.

[6stringed]

yeah, me too from Let It Be

[6stringed]

CHEERS.

When I got Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band like a
week or so ago, I've listened to it almost every morning
while I get ready

[El_Goodo]

My friend just found this awesome obscure record store. It has lot's of CD's that would normally never be in big music places like HMV and such. Yesterday I got Bob Dylan's 3-Disc Biograph set for 20 dollars. And they had some cool Beatles stuff they had mini-disc singles of I want to hold your hand, and love me do, and also some early recordings of the band, and a crazy japanese cd that said The Beatles Gold.

[Scuba_Steve]

CHEERS.

man, I dunno.

Sgt. Peppers is probably one of my least favorite beatles albums. maybe I just overplayed it when I first got it or something, but I'd much rather listen to almost any other late-beatles albums.

[Up The Irons]

mmt


ftw

[zabbit82]

I've always prefered MMT over Sgt. Peppers. I dunno why but I've never been able to listen all the way thru it.

[Seafroggys]

MMT is better then Peppa. However, it wasn't a full album of all new material. There was only like 6-7 new songs on it, then there were 4 singles from earlier in the year (SFF/Penny Lane, Love/Rich Man).

But in retrospect, it is the superior album, since none of their material is 'new' anymore, you can't use that argument.

[rockinbass17]

MMT>SPLHCB. On Pepper's there are only four really solid tracks. MMT is golden throughout. Even "Flying" is really cool. And the best tracks off of MMT are better than the best off of Sgt. Pepper's.

I Am The Walrus and Strawberry Fields > A Day In The Life and Sgt. Pepper's.

[Seafroggys]

i must say A Day in the Life is really strong, one of their best overall tracks. I Am the Walrus is cool but slightly overrated (slighty, I say, it still kicks ***), and Strawberry Fields Forever is probably the best off of both albums.

[rockinbass17]

I never said that it wasn't a strong track. I also really enjoy it, and it just comes closely behind the two tracks from MMT that I mentioned. It is probably my third favorite Beatles song, behind those two.

[magicbus]

For any fans of Dr. Mario, do you guys think the game music sounds like Lady Madonna. That's the first think I thought of when I heard the song.

http://www.midishrine.com/dritidet/nes/Dr_Mario/drmfever.mid

[El_Goodo]

Haha...that does sound very similar.

[zabbit82]

MMT>SPLHCB. On Pepper's there are only four really solid tracks. MMT is golden throughout. Even "Flying" is really cool. And the best tracks off of MMT are better than the best off of Sgt. Pepper's.

I Am The Walrus and Strawberry Fields > A Day In The Life and Sgt. Pepper's.
I agree. It might not be anything spectacular, but it's really cool and I always enjoy listening to it.

[Seafroggys]

Flying is such a grooving song. Its definitally something a band can jam on. I can see if The Beatles were touring and stuff, they can go off on that song for like 5 minutes.

[revolution1]

Re-doing Revolution was totally wrong
The new version is good, but the orginal of The White Album is so much better

[El_Goodo]

Speaking of grooving songs...the version of Helter-Skelter off the 3rd Anthology is mind-blowing. I just heard it yesterday...it's so slow, bluesy, and really groovy they should have released both versions. It was the the white album!

[The Clash]

Theres a faster version of "Two of Us" that I really like alot. Its in the Let It Be movie. John and Paul share a mic and its really a good groovin tune, Just another Beatle song that no matter what version they released, it was def a great song

[Leper]

I'd have to say between Pepper and MMT, A Day in the Life is, IMO, the strongest track on either album. However MMT is superior overall.

[Jacaranda]

Except for the fact that it feels more like a compilation disc rather then an actual album. You are underestimating the flow factor man.

[Leper]

Meh, Pepper really doesn't flow that well, not for a c:rolleyes:ncept album anyway. I'll admit it does flow a little better than MMT but not enough for me to consider it a better album.

[El_Goodo]

Yeah I always found it funny how only 4 songs actually follow the concept, and flow together.

[Schyma]

Except for the fact that it feels more like a compilation disc rather then an actual album. You are underestimating the flow factor man.
Please, I think you're overestimating the flow factor. It's about the indivudual songs not the flow.

[The Clash]

Paul McCartney is releasing a DVD of his most recent US Tour. It is being screened on A&E in October, just like the Live in Red Square Concert DVD.

[Seafroggys]

it took him long enough to release that tour. His 2002 tour (Back in the US) I saw him in October, saw the TV special around Thanksgiving, and got the DVD that Christmas. Its been almost a year since I've seen his 2005 tour, and still nothing?

[The Clash]

Yea i know. I saw him in Sept of last year, Hands down the best concert ive ever been too. It has been a long while but remember he did just go through a tough devorce.

[Relmar]

Damn I listened to them non-stop for over 2 years. They're boring now.

[Seafroggys]

I didn't like the 2005 concert as much as the 2002 one. Even though the 2005 had a better setlist, we were much closer in 2002 and, well, he was younger after all. I could tell a slightly loss of vocal quality over that 3 year time span.

[El_Goodo]

I've got 424 Beatles songs on my Ipod :) ...and I just downloaded what appears to be a bootleg album called All Good Children Go To Heaven, it's got different versions of songs, live songs, and best of all an unreleased song called I'm In Love by Lennon on the piano from 1963 it's really great, also they sing the "She Can Talk To Me" part from Hey Bulldog by itself with only piano. A song called Goodbye by McCartney is also good.

Almost forgot...theres also an unreleased Sgt. Pepper track called Piece Of Mind which sounds eerily like the song Warning by Black Sabbath.

[robo2448]

Last night, I got the original bootleg tapes of the white album. All acoustic run-through's recorded in George's house. It reminds me of Acoustic by John Lennon, but a lot better. It's so personal and laid back. Awesome.

[EightMilesHigh]

Meh, Pepper really doesn't flow that well, not for a c:rolleyes:ncept album anyway. I'll admit it does flow a little better than MMT but not enough for me to consider it a better album.

I think Sgt. Peppers is ok but a little overrated. I got MMT as a gift a while ago but I'm yet to listen to it.

[Jacaranda]

People only say its overrated cause it was number 1 on RS list. Before that I never heard a word about it being overrated.

[El_Goodo]

People only say its overrated cause it was number 1 on RS list. Before that I never heard a word about it being overrated.

Well its the only album with a song as boring as Fixing A Hole. It's the only song I have negative feelings about.

In other news I just bought the book Lennon Revealed by Larry Kane. I've just read through the first chapter, and so far it's incredibly well written the first chapter starts at the end...in well...December. It was a pretty sad chapter, but it combined a bunch of stories about it so well...there was even a perspective of one guy who was a writer who was in the hospital after being hit by a taxi on his motorbike.

[Carne Evil]

I gotta say, I agree with RS on this one. Sgt. Peppers was the first album I ever heard front to back and it was because I couldn't stop listening to it. Every song was fantastic, even fixing a hole. You may think I'm exaggerating for some reason, but I assure you I am not. I really, honestly believe that that album is the greatest album in existence

Yes.
Well except the last part, but the rest yes.

[Carne Evil]

Favorite album is kinda personal. I didn't actually expect anyone to agree with the last part.

[Seafroggys]

I remember reading somewhere that for years the RS lists and stuff would consider Sgt. Pepper's to be the best, then in the 90s people started looking at everything in retrospect and considered Revolver to be the superior album, which I find true on many 'lists.'

As for me, Sgt. Pepper's is fairly low, but that doesn't say much, considering the *** kickedness of the band.

[El_Goodo]

Hey...cheap plug for myself... you should all check out my song "What I've Learned," it's totally inspired by the beatles, even tried adding some backing vocals. www.purevolume.com/crowsnest

And to keep this post from being a total plug for myself...I got some more interesting facts from "Lennon Revealed" I just read that one time the Beatles urinated on a carpet at the Edgewater Hotel that they were standing on to prevent people from cutting it into pieces to sell as Beatles memorabilia. That made me laugh.

[El_Goodo]

And I've killed the thread.

[Leper]

Haha that happens too often to even get upset about anymore. This thread always falls into obscurity, gets revived, gasps for air and dies again. I don't think it will ever completely die though.

Did anyone hear something about more previously un-released Beatles tracks? I heard something about it the other day but didn't really hear the details...

[Seafroggys]

back when I first got into the Beatles (maybe 1999) I found a website with a bunch of lyrics of unreleased Beatles songs. I don't know the authenticity of it, however. No clue how I found it, or even if the site is still up.

[El_Goodo]

Haha that happens too often to even get upset about anymore. This thread always falls into obscurity, gets revived, gasps for air and dies again. I don't think it will ever completely die though.

I heard awhile ago about that big police bust were they arrested a guy trying to sell a bunch of tapes of the Beatles that he stole from Abbey Road studios years ago supposedly it includes a track of the Beatles performing Blowin' In The Wind by Bob Dylan.

[magicbus]

I'm listening to Anthology 3 right now. Its always fun to hear how songs could've turned out, or how they sound with different instruments or whatever. Cool stuff.

[El_Goodo]

I picked the worst of all three anthologies to buy...I bought the first one. Sure it's great to hear the early days...but stuff like the acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is ten times better.

[robo2448]

I only have Anthology 3. It's really good. I may get 1 and 2 eventually.

[Seafroggys]

my mom won Anthology 1 when it first came out in '96, so that's all we have.

[El_Goodo]

I just read that in 10 years McCartney gets his songs back...because of some legal issue...now hopefully he lives to 74!

[Seafroggys]

I just read that in 10 years McCartney gets his songs back...because of some legal issue...now hopefully he lives to 74!

Thank god. This should have happened years ago.

[Leper]

I have yet to buy any of the Anthologies :(. I feel ashamed...at least I have the book. I still haven't finished it though dammit :mad:

[El_Goodo]

That book took me months...

Yesterday I found the Beatles BBC Sessions in this great new music store called Blueprints..it's an independent store that has great discs that are hard to find in most places, and it's nice and cheap too. The CD is great so far the interview segments are funny, and I've gotten to hear some great tracks I didn't know the beatles did such as covers of Johnny B. Goode, and I've Got A Woman.

[El_Goodo]

Hmm..I just downloaded the bootleg...of what I believe to be John and Paul's secret jam session in 74 called a toot and a snore..it sounds like the real thing...and currently and before this post my post count was 2006 :o

[Seafroggys]

Happy birthday John Lennon!

[blue3]

Happy birthday! I always remember his death day but usually forget the birthday.. Anyways, I got 1962-1966 CD today because it was finally on sale for 50% off.

[El_Goodo]

A true fan wouldn't need that CD! Just joking...I just got the Paul McCartney and Jeremy Yellow Submarine action figure :) I'm awesome...oo and before the day is done...Happy B-Day Lennon...how old would he be hmm 66?

[RNR]

Happy birthday John Lennon!

Sweeet. I forget if it was his birthday or death day last time but I had a good time with the Beatles and the Lennon solo and the pretending to be a hippy.

[blue3]

A true fan wouldn't need that CD! Just joking...I just got the Paul McCartney and Jeremy Yellow Submarine action figure :) I'm awesome...oo and before the day is done...Happy B-Day Lennon...how old would he be hmm 66?Hah, a true fan would know.

I've seen those yellow submarine action figures before. They're pretty cool. Not as cool as my Slash action figure though, haha.

[Seafroggys]

I own all the Yellow Submarine Action Figures.....bitches!

[Ephemeral]

I have Anthology 1

It sucks : /

[Seafroggys]

it has Free as a Bird. It makes the entire album worthwhile.

[robo2448]

That's an awesome song.

Happy B-day John, a day late. I wore my Lennon shirt yesterday though:cool:

[Ephemeral]

Happy b-day john

[rockinbass17]

I always think about what John would say if he saw those Yellow Submarine action figures. Or John Lennon Converse shoes, etc.

[robo2448]

I got those yellow submarine action figures for christmas when I was younger. I wonder if I still have them. I'd probably appreciate them more now.

[Holoh]

it has Free as a Bird. It makes the entire album worthwhile.

I still haven't heard that song....collecting the Beatles records in order takes forever!

[jpshortstuff]

please could one of you kind beatles fans send me an mp3 (or wav or wma) of Twist and Shout to jpshortstuff @ gmail .com i need it for a music project.
much appreciate anyone who can help. if you don't read this 'til sunday don't bother.

thanks

[Meatplow]

I just learnt all of Twist and Shout on guitar :)

What an accomplishment. Been listening to Please Please Me recently. Any suggestions on another album? I have that and Sargeant Pepper's. I like their trippier stuff.

For trippy-ness.

[Meatplow]

Thanks a lot :)

[El_Goodo]

Please Please Me is a truly great cd...it was my favourite for a while. But now I think im content to stick with Rubber Soul as my all time favourite...I'm Looking Through You may be my favourite Paul song...the line "Why tell me why did you not treat me right, love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight" is brilliant. Speaking of that song...the version of the 2nd Anthology is really cool.

[El_Goodo]

Alright I've got an idea...a little game to get things going...why don't we make a fantasy beatles cd...using the beatles seperate solo tracks, limit it to one disc, and name it..I'll go

Photograph Ringo Starr/George Harrison
This is a really great and over looked song written by George/Ringo (released by Ringo).

Jealous Guy John Lennon
One of the best works of Lennon's solo work, with the combined minds of the rest of the Beatles it probably could have been even better...and maybe would have been called Child Of Nature.

Mind Games John Lennon
The lyrics represent what the beatles and Lennon were all about..."Love is the answer...and you know that for sure."

Band On The Run Paul McCartney
This song already sounds like an Abbey Road-esque Beatles song. It would have been great to hear the rest of them singing along in the chorus.

Let Me Roll It Paul McCartney
This would have made a great beatles rocker, killer riff and catchy chorus.

It Don't Come Easy Ringo Starr/George Harrison
This is probably ringos defining solo track, and it's already half way to being a Beatles song.

All Things Must Pass George Harrison
Although it wouldn't have the sentimentel feeling it did having been released quickly after the break up of the beatles, it would still remain a classic song.

Isn't It A Pity George Harrison
Another song with lyrics that describe what The Beatles/George were all about...peace, love, and happiness. "Isn't it a pity...how we break eachothers hearts and cause eachother pain?"

Apple Scruffs George Harrison
Insanely catchy song written for The Beatles fans who would stand outside Apple HQ's.

Gimme Some Truth John Lennon
Following in the vein of Revolution this song would have been another one to bring the Beatles some contraversy.

How? John Lennon
This is a really great and tender love song. Would have been another moment in the Beatles history (like Julia) where we see the tender side of John.

Just Another Day Paul McCartney
John would have called this song "completley Paul" it has the same vibe as Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da.

Live and Let Die Paul McCartney
I could see John wishing he wrote this one...the line "Live and Let Die" really has a John vibe to it.

Tracklisting
1.) Let Me Roll It
2.) Gimme Some Truth
3.) It Don't Come Easy
4.) Band On The Run
5.) Apple Scruffs
6.) Just Another Day
7.) Jealous Guy
8.) Photograph
9.) How?
10.) Isn't It A Pity
11.) Mind Games
12.) Live and Let Die
13.) All Things Must Pass

Edit: Forgot the title...I'm thinking maybe they'd name it after Band On The Run...I could see some hilarious cover art with the boys.

[Seafroggys]

I like John's contributions a lot: Gimme Some Truth and How are some of the best songs ever made.

Yeah, both of Ringo's tracks make good. Live and Let Die probably would have had a much better studio version had it been done by The Beatles, it was way too symphonic and non-rock instrument orientated.

[run don't walk]

I really want to start getting the Beatles' CDs but should I get the versions out now or the reissues that are supposedly coming out?

[Seafroggys]

re-issues?

The CD issues of their original 13 albums were released in 1987, so they feature 1987 digital enhacement technology. I wouldn't say its bad, I have no problem with it, but with that said it is extremely dated tech. Practically all other vinyl era bands have had CD re-issues since the mid 90s.

[El_Goodo]

Fourth page...that is sad.

[Leper]

Yeah supposedly they are coming out with re-issues probably just in time for Christmas.

[Sir John Longpeen]

I really want to start getting the Beatles' CDs but should I get the versions out now or the reissues that are supposedly coming out?

Wait until the reissues come out, and wait for reviews on them to come in. Alot of times the newer versions sound really good (better than the original digital release) and other times they sound awful.

[Seafroggys]

Page 9

And as I listen to Something......its been a long hard 5 years.

I remember that day so well. I know many of you guys weren't fans back then, but believe me, it was so hard. So so hard. Even knowing several weeks in advance that it would be terminal. We didn't find out until tomorrow (they released the info on the 30th), but....god damn.

George Harrison.........your sun will never set. And its all right.

[The End of The World]

I've got about 10 albums on vinyl now and got a record player to listen to them finally.

[Danger Bird]

Vinyl is the only way to lisen to The Beatles.

[Seafroggys]

Vinyl is the only way to lisen to The Beatles.

eh, I'm probably the biggest fans on these forums and I think I've only listened to the Beatles Yesterday and Today vinyl (even though my parents have them all). I've heard all their songs on cassette though.

[RNR]

The vinyl does sound a lot better than cds but I can't be bothered :(

Sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band dunnununununununu ziomg. Man thas goood.

[rockinbass17]

While I've never been a fan of SPLHCB as a whole album, there's a few really great songs on there. I recently listened to "Within You, Without You" and realized how amazing it is. I love George's songs.

[RNR]

It's impossible to ignore some of them. Like Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite. Freaking rock on.

[Leper]

Within You Without You was the first song that really made me realize how great of a songwriter George was.

[Seafroggys]

Only a Northern Song for me.

A great Beatles song, one of my favorites.

[magicbus]

So who's listened to Love yet? It's not too bad, kinda fun to see a different take on the songs.

I will tell you this though, "Mr. Kite/I Want You/Helter Skelter" is badass.

[Leper]

It's gotten incredibly good reviews here and I'm seriously considering asking for it for Christmas.

[RNR]

I'm suprised to see this thread on the 3rd pageon John Lennon's death day.

He sure was great. Except for that Yoko bitch.

[Seafroggys]

Naw, Yoko was his love. I respect her for making him happy.

Here's to the most sweetest person of all time. :chug:

The Sun is Up, the sky is blue, its beautiful, and so are you.

That bitch. I liked his first wife.

True, each of The Beatles had a pass of at least one uber hot wife/gf. John had Cynthia, Paul had Jane Asher, Ringo had Barbara Bach, and George had Patti Boyd. And if you want to consider Maureen, Heather, and Olivia good looking as well, all the better :thumb:

Damnit. I forgot to post on his death day. Ah well..

So what's the deal with that Love thing? Is it any good or just weird crap for the sake of making more money?

[Seafroggys]

no Beatle stuff for Christmas. Oh well.

[RunnerUp]

I was pretty dissapointed by Love. It didnt change enough. It does have a few cool tracks, like sticking the Inner Light and Here Comes the Sun together. The most unique is probably Strawberry Fields Forever, which starts with just the acoustic demo version and slowly adds stuff untill at the end it has parts from 5 different songs going at once. Pretty amazing song.

If it's related to creepy french people in weird costumes, don't rely on it to be good.

I really liked Love. My dad and I stayed up listening to it on Christmas Eve. It turned out to be kind of a special evening, but the album itself is really interesting, I thought. Octopus' Garden was far out.
