[QUOTE=i_am_Jimmy_Page]Maybe,
they're completely different songs:
Lovely Rita is a quirky pop song,
and a day in the life is a great rock song,
I couldn't compare,
the only song on the album I don't like is "When I'm 64",
the novel value just doesn't appeal to me at all.[/QUOTE]
I saying in pure "Which woul I rather listen to" stance. Its not really based on the style.

"When I'm 64" isn't meant to blow anyone's mind, it's just a melody Paul wrote when he was 16 that he put words to for the album. But anyway I wouldn't say Sgt. Pepper is their best album, I couldn't pinpoint one album because they all offer different types of good songs. Like The White Album and MMT are hugely different but both are great, plus it depends on your perspective, for example my friend told me the other day her favourite beatles song was "She's Leaving Home", which isn't terrible but for sure isn't one of my favourites. anyways as for Pepper, A Day in the Life is clearly the best song, it's a monster really. But yeah we all know everyone likes the #1s like Let It Be, Hey Jude, etc, so what are some of your faovourite lesser known beatles songs?

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Same here about the MMT.

I have been wondering has George ever cut his ties with Clapton?[/QUOTE]

No. George and Clapton were very close friends until George died.

I personally think Sgt. Pepper is a great album. The best? Probably not. But I really like it, I don't know why you guys don't.

Metafive, I LOVE She's Leaving Home. That's a great lesser known song, in my opinion.

Also, as my user comment thingie shows, I'm a nut for Across The Universe.

being for the benefit of mister kite. very under rated song. i think its like one of their best.

the reprise of a day in the life really gave me nitemares. i cant stand that song

[QUOTE=guitrguy]I saying in pure "Which woul I rather listen to" stance. Its not really based on the style.[/QUOTE]
Then in them terms,
the songs I would rather listen to on the album are "Lovely Rita" and "Good Morning"

I just heard "Rain"
I guess it doesn't have an album to call its own but it sounds like something off of revolver... me gusta mucha

I was thinking of getting a Harrison Solo album, which one would any of you recommend?

[QUOTE=Metafive]But yeah we all know everyone likes the #1s like Let It Be, Hey Jude, etc, so what are some of your faovourite lesser known beatles songs?[/QUOTE]

Not everybody.

Anyway, here are my favorite lesser known Beatle songs:

Dear Prudance, Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie, I'm so Tired, Polythene Pam, She said She said, Tomorrow Never Knows, Baby You're a Rich Man, I want You, You Won't See Me, You've Got to Hide your Love Away

In My Life.
Anyone heard it?
What a great song, personal, and one of Lennons best compositions.

I was wondering because of the whole Layla thing.


Really I like every last song, and its too hard for me to choose one.

That's the Beatles best song, and I think it was voted the best song of the century, a list not done by Rolling Stone. W00t

Rubber Soul as a whole doesn't get enough respect. Drive My Car is a great opening track.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Rubber Soul as a whole doesn't get enough respect. Drive My Car is a great opening track.[/QUOTE]
Every song on Rubber Soul is so d[COLOR=White]a[/COLOR]mn catchy, Drive My Car, In My Life, I'm Looking Through You, The Word. Man, I need to give it another listen.

I love how personal the lyrics in it are,
If they were made up that song wouldn't have a third of its impact and meaning.

Most definitely. I love that album. Now I need to go grab my copy of it again and give it another listen.

Sudden urges of Rubber Soul, it's like nicotine.

I'm listening to "Happiness is a warm gun"
And the whole of the white album,
probbably my 2nd favourite beatles album.

We're talking about not so famous Beatle songs.

Thats one of the most famous ones. And one of my favorites.

Ok, a really great and really underrated song, in my opinion, is Blackbird. I love that song. Its brilliant. Also, its the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Rubber Soul as a whole doesn't get enough respect. Drive My Car is a great opening track.[/QUOTE]
Its the second album I ever got.

I went to that big library in London last year (Brittish Library?) and it had the Magna Carta, Shakespeare, and hand-written Beatles lyrics, the most notable being "In My Life" of which a significant amount had been scribbled out, that was interesting, something you can't get here in Los Estados Unidos

I love the keyboard/harpsichord solo

I agree though;)

Yeah, I love that solo too. Same with the unexpected beetnick organ solo in I'm Looking Through You.

Beetnick organ solo? :listens again: haha now that I think about it, it is rather unexpected
while we are on the subject of solos on Rubber Soul I have to bring up that guitar solo in the middle and end of Michelle.. ohh one of my very favorites, that is

::sighs:: I learned how to play it on the bass as soon as I got smart enough to realize that I could play EADG guitar songs on bass

Does anyone know what the deal is with that little thing at the end of "A Day In The Life"?
I tracked down a copy of SPLHCB on vinyl and to my great shock and dissapointment it didn't have it
This is weird considering I heard from someone that on vinyl it just keeps on repeating until you take the needle off :isn't sure that this is even possible:

No, it's just one long E-chord

Ah.....the random high pitched noise and The Beatles saying weird stuff backwards and stuff after the E major chord during a Day in the Life.

This was only on the British vinyl, not on the American issue. When they released the BEatles on CD, they did the British versions (except for MMT, which was the US version) because they were the original ones and weren't 'torn apart' by Capitol (notice how pre-Pepper's albums differ between UK and US in not only songs, but album names and even number of albums). Thus you'll find the weird crap on the CD, but unless you get a British copy of Sgt. Pepper's, you won't find it.

Revolution is a pretty underated song,
I don't really like revolution 9, some of the stuff said in it is pretty funny though.

Can anyone clarify this for me,
one of my friends claims that "for the majority of the white album, Paul McCartney played the drums"
Is this true?
(Cause if it is, he owned Ringo :p)

No, Paul McCartney only played drums on Back In The USSR. They tried to make Ringo think it was his drumming, but he knew better. So, he was pretty pissed at Paul.

I thought that song sounded highly-un-ringo ish

[QUOTE=Livewired]I thought you already stated that numerous times. :confused:

Yeah, I did... sorry. I just love that song so much, and now I had an excuse to say it again! Oh, and in case everyone didn't get it the first half dozen times... BLACKBIRD OWNS ME!

Well, I'm no genius about vinyl, so you'll have to excuse me for sounding like a moron when I talk about it, but from what I've heard, what they did was have the end of the vinyl be a circle, rather than a spiral, so it would keep replaying it over and over again.

*eem, well vinyl.. you see, um, it black, and shiney.. and*
yeah, thats what I was thinking if anything

I'll have to keep an eye out for a UK version

That's so awesome, I didn't even know you could do that.

Yeah. I don't have any vinyl (my parents had a super awesome collection, but it all burnt away when i was 4...:upset: ) But apparently Piper At The Gates of Dawn had some weird thing where it went back to the start when you finished the vinyl, so it auto repeated... I know its the wrong band, but yeah, on the topic of vinyl. Does anyone know what's actually being said at the end of Sgt. Peppers? It sounds kind of like "never could be any other way" but its really hard to tell.

House Fire or what?

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]It sounds kind of like "never could be any other way" but its really hard to tell.[/QUOTE]

"Could be" sounds like "*****" to me, which makes sense, as they always threw perverted stuff into their records.

Ah hell, **** censor lock. Okay, its poissy, where oi=u.

hahaha paul is dead, I buried paul, etc

I think its "never could be any other way"
but the more pressing question of course would be:
What are they saying at the end of I am The Walrus?
I've heard
Everybody Clap Clap
and
Everybody's got one
