[QUOTE=Up The Irons] [I]All Things Must Pass[/I] is truly a masterpiece of its time[/QUOTE]



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.

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

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.

tee hee

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.

yeah, me too from Let It Be

that used to be one of my favorite songs.....I love the beatles.
Their lyrics are amazing..

Im listening to them as i type.
:chug: to the beatles

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

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.

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.

mmt


ftw

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Haha...that does sound very similar.

I agree. It might not be anything spectacular, but it's really cool and I always enjoy listening to it.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

[B]Please[/B], I think you're [I]over[/I]estimating the flow factor. It's about the indivudual songs not the flow.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 [I]Lennon Revealed[/I] 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.

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.
