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

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

[QUOTE=xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx][QUOTE]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?[/QUOTE]

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?

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: )

thank you for clearing that up for me, I was extremely confused(I had never heard of any Hey Jude album)

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?

Nope, I just asked him earlier.

No **** clue. Apparently mods can ban whoever the **** they want for no reason at all without any repercussions.

This is a dictatorship I says :mad:

Time for a revolution, let's enstate communism. Sure it didn't work countless other times, but I have a good feeling about this time.

Sad. Well, surely they won't ban someone with a Waynes World icon...

That would be a condemable sin.

Who else thinks that A Hard Days Night is underrated around here? It's an awesome album, probably the best from their pop era.

I love it, every song is a great.

I realized a couple days ago I don't have A Hard Days Night... *runs to hide in corner* I have all the other studio albums though! Honest! And the anthologies... Just gotta get A Hard Days Night. But, as for the pop era, I really like Help!

I have everything but their pop albums (I have Rubber Soul onward)....not in a hurry to get the first five, so many others to get.

I have A Hard Days Night and up... I'm not to worried about he others, yet.

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

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

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.

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

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 ;)

I read somewhere on the internet once that Paul McCartney did "Why don't we do it in the Road" to imitate John Lennon, and John Lennon wrote "Goodnight" to imitate Paul McCartney
I haven't been able to find this anywhere and I was wondering if its even true.. anyone know anything?

I don't about those songs but they did do it during their solo careers.

Did anyone here know that The Ramones named themselves after Paul McCartney? When he was in Wings, his little brother had a band, and whenever Paul had a guest appearance with his brother, he'd be listed as "Paul Ramone" and not Paul McCartney. Ramones named themselves that in tribute to McCartney. Don't know if its true, but its an interesting idea.

Hmmm. :eek:

Why would Paul do that anyway. :confused:

Probably so people didn't know he was Paul McCartney? :confused:

[QUOTE=morrissey]Probably so people didn't know he was Paul McCartney? :confused:[/QUOTE]
But didnt they pay to go to a Paul Mcartney concert. :confused:

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...

Oh maybe he played with a mask.

Yeah, except it was guest appearances on albums. Like, on the album, it would say "guest vocals/bass/wahtever by Paul Ramone." Thats just what I heard though, not positive if its true.

:lol:... quite possible.

Oh that would make sense. Didn't U2 make an album like that? (not to change subject from the Beatles or anything...)

That's a cool story anyways :).

Oh albums. I didnt even know his brother had a career in singing.

Which songs?
