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

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.

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. [url]www.purevolume.com/crowsnest[/url]

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.

And I've killed the thread.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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:

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.

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

Happy birthday John Lennon!

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.

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?

[QUOTE=Seafroggys;13410629]Happy birthday John Lennon![/QUOTE]

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.

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

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

I have Anthology 1

It sucks : /

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

That's an awesome song.

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

Happy b-day john

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

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.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys;13416481]it has Free as a Bird. It makes the entire album worthwhile.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot :)

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.

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

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

[B]Jealous Guy[/B] [I]John Lennon[/I]
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.

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

[B]Band On The Run[/B] [I]Paul McCartney[/I]
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.

[B]Let Me Roll It[/b] [I]Paul McCartney[/I]
This would have made a great beatles rocker, killer riff and catchy chorus.

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

[B]All Things Must Pass[/B] [I]George Harrison[/I]
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.

[B]Isn't It A Pity[/B] [I]George Harrison[/I]
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?"

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

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

[B]How?[/B] [I]John Lennon[/I]
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.

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

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

[B]Tracklisting[/B]
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.

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.

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?
