[QUOTE=Magical_Mystery_Tour]MMT is denintly my fav Beatle album. So many great songs are on it (excluding Blue Jay Way, Flying and Baby your a rich man, never really liked any of those songs).[/QUOTE]I never would have guessed that MMT was your favorite. I like those songs you mentioned.

I love the song blue jay way..."please don't be long, please don't you be very long"

Magical Mystery Tour is a fantastic album. Wow, 1967 was a dam[B]n[/B] good year for the Beatles, and music in general for that matter.

I thought that was 1969...

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I thought that was 1969...[/QUOTE]Hah that would make sense. But wikipedia is probably right.

From Wiki:"(Some people mistakenly believe the Summer of Love was in 1969, perhaps because that was the year of Woodstock.)"

/some people:(

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]Yeah, definately. Did you know that when it was released some people thought it was harrison telling them to drop out of society! ("please don't belong") :lol:

it was actually about him waiting for someone.[/QUOTE]

Did they not listen to the line right after that "please don't you be very long" lol...that very ruins the belong idea.

What did they do for music? I know this is an extremely idiotic question, but I'm really not sure. I know they did SOMETHING, and I absolutely love listening to them, but I want to know what all of you think they did for music. Personally, I believe they were compositional geniuses, but that still leaves the question of what they did.

For the music industry? Well they were the first band to do many things in the studio and try new things, they were one of the first bands to be open about drugs which helped psychedelic music become popular and paved the way a lot of bands. They made the music scene do a 360 and sorta start leading away from the Hermins Hermits and other bands of that sort and more in the direction of rock and roll written and performed by the bands. And of course they were the first band from the 60's to 'conquer' America which lead to other bands.

What Med said may not seem like too much different then now, but in the early 60s was an astronomical difference in the way music was created. I believe of all the great points Med pointed out, the studio experimentation was the biggest.

Before then, and the Beatles themselves showed it pre Rrevolver, All bands had one uniform outlook of who they were and what songs they made. Every song was pretty much the same structure, lyrical outlook, and style. Though this may not be 100% true, It generally stood as a conception of music of that era. When The Beatles took there songs, and changed the whole way they were developed, and even through crazy effects in there to develop a fuller more meaningful construction to each one, it was amazing, though some may view this at the time as Satanic (Revolution 9 anyone?). The 60s were a time of change and the Beatles are largely responsible for the start of it. When the Who were homewrecking punks, Stones were mind polluters, Led Zeppelin were Satan Worshippers, the Beatles stood out with there unending proggresive songwriting skills to break away from all that was right in 60s music and pave for everything to come.

Might not seem like much to do, but for the era they exsisted they did a damn good job

[QUOTE=blue3]I never would have guessed that MMT was your favorite. I like those songs you mentioned.[/QUOTE]

:lol: There ok songs, but compared to the others on teh album (Strawberry Fields Forever, possibly my fav. John song) they are not as good IMO, but they are still good.

MMT is my second favorite, along with Rubber Soul. First has to be Abbey Road.

[I]The Concert of Bangladesh[/I]... wow. Incredible.

The Beatles are such a good band. Each musician was good at wat they did. THe songwriting was amzing. It is pretty cool to listen to songs they wrote about their drugs such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD). Simply amazing band. O ya and Paul McCartney is great live. Eleanor Rigby is an amazing live song. Stupid Yoko Ono got in John Lennons head which broke up the band.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is [B]NOT[/B] about drugs.

Who sings that Lucy in the Sky with Glasses? This is the secound morning that I've woke up to that song and its rather catchy.

Yeah, I got that for Christmas, definetly one of my favourite music DVDs.

I got this Beatles book called 'A Hard Day's Write'. It tells the stories about every Beatles songs. I haven't read all of it yet, but apparently it's good. Anyone else have this book?

I almost bought that book, but i hate not being able to read whats inside (it was all wrapped up) so i went against my judgement and didnt get it.

[QUOTE=WelcomeToTheMachine]I almost bought that book, but i hate not being able to read whats inside (it was all wrapped up) so i went against my judgement and didnt get it.[/QUOTE]Hah, okay then. It was 50% off, so I just had to buy it, even thought it was wrapped.

Well my favourite Beatles album list (post Help!) now goes as follows:

Revolver
Magical Mystery Tour
Abbey Road
Sgt. Peppers
Rubber Soul
White Album
Let It Be

I can't rate Yellow Submarine yet because I don't have it and thus haven't listened to it in it's entirety.

It's so hard to put any of them last, in fact, I'll just say the last three are all a tie.

Sgt. Peppers
MMT
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Let It Be
Abbey Road
White Album

The last two albums I actually don't really like that much so there is a big gap between Let it Be and Abbey Road, in terms of me liking.

You don't like Abbey Road??:eek: How come?

/takes deep breaths...:p

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]You don't like Abbey Road??:eek: How come?

/takes deep breaths...:p[/QUOTE]
Well I would go into more detail but I'm tired! So I'll just sum it up. It loses my interest about 1/2 through. And She's so Heavy is like the draggy on-est song ever.

I absolutely LOVE She's So Heavy. That song alone makes me want to put Abbey Road at the top of my list.

Of course, it sounds good but then afterwards I'm just like "Holy crap, that song sucked."

That's a weird way of deciding you don't like a song..

Well no, okay so its like I listen to half of it liking it then the other half comes on and its like I'm looking at the clock waiting for it to end, then its over and its like well I like that song, but it really sucks also.

I'm crazy?

I like Abbey road but I wish it would only have these tracks on it: 2, 3, 7-9, 11-13, 15-17. I think that would be a masterpiece maybe have some more tracks in there. But I've never really liked Come Together, and the rest just don't fit in with what I would've liked to see Abbey Road be, which is an album full of short songs that sorta tells a story. So a concept album basically!

The Beatles are my second favorite band. My favorite album of theirs is a tie between Sgt. Pepper's and the White Album. My favorite song of theirs is Revolution 1.

I also like Lennon's solo career. My favorite song of his when he was solo is a tie between Imagine and Working Class Hero.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I absolutely LOVE She's So Heavy. That song alone makes me want to put Abbey Road at the top of my list.[/QUOTE]I like that song a lot too. So here's my list.

Revolver
Sgt. Peppers
Abbey Road
Magical Mystery Tour
White Album
Rubber Soul
Let It Be

I can never rate the Beatles albums. It'd hurt my brain because I'd be moving everything, and yeah.

I only just started listening to the beatles affter i found an Aerosmith cover of Come Together. I would have started listening to them a while back, but twist and shout brought back terrifying memories of primary school musicals

/quivers in fear

They have some pretty catchy riffs, but i don't get to listen to their albums coz my mum lent her albums to a friend and never got them back before my family moved to another state.Come Together is probably my favourite song, followed by Suzy In The Sky With Diamonds, but i don't have many of their songs on my computer:(

Hah, Suzy..

I heard Aerosmith's cover of Come Together. I didn't like it much..

**** damn downloads.last time i use limewire.screwy titles get me a lot.

Also might be the 45 degree temperature inside my house

[QUOTE=blue3]Hah, Suzy..

I heard Aerosmith's cover of Come Together. I didn't like it much..[/QUOTE]

I sort of feel that way about Aerosmith in general, save a few songs. They're just sort of bland. To be fair, it is tough to do a Beatles song justice.

[QUOTE=blue3]Hah, Suzy..

I heard Aerosmith's cover of Come Together. I didn't like it much..[/QUOTE]

Yeah it is crap, and even worse, the average listener thinks that is Aerosmith's song.

Yeah, my friend didn't know it was a Beatles song till I told her.

Abbey Road
White Album
Revolver
Let It Be Naked
Magical Mystery Tour
Sgt. Peppers
Rubber Soul

So far, I have A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and Let It Be on vinyl.

Abbey Road is in horrible condition though.

i own about two-three of every beatle record on vinyl....it helps when two Beatle fans marry :thumb:
