[QUOTE=Seafroggys]i own about two-three of every beatle record on vinyl....it helps when two Beatle fans marry :thumb:[/QUOTE]

that is so damn awesome

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]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.[B] And She's so Heavy is like the draggy on-est song ever.[/B][/QUOTE]

wow. i feel the exact same way. But I love Abbey Road

I know most of you guys are going to make fun of me for this, but I was in the bookstore the other day and started reading one of those "Paul is dead" conspiracy things... it wasn't actually supporting it, it was just explaining all the clues and stuff. I decided to buy it just because I wanted to see all the clues, and while some of them are kind of out there, some are quite obvious. I know it is fake, that most of them were put in by John and George, but I still think it's awesome that they pulled it off. Uh, favorite albums list...

Revolver
Abbey Road
Sgt. Pepper's (Not because of A Day In The Life though, I don't get why everyone is so obcessed with that song. It's good, but it wins like every single "Greatest Beatles Songs" list)
Magical Mystery Tour
The White Album
Rubber Soul

I picked up a sweet Let It Be poster the other day, that puts the collection at 4.

Here's my list:

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

MMT
White
Revolver
Rubber
Abbey
SGT Pep
Let it Be

I love all teh albums, but seeing as we are getting into rating them, this would have to be my order.

I'm not doing a list, but I'm gonna say that there isn't enough pre '65 Beatle fans.

A Hard Day's Night or With The Beatles=Ultimate Rock 'n' Roll records.

No Reply off Beatles for Sale is one of my fav early Beatle songs.

Go The Beatles, the only band ever that has no such thing as a bad song....prettty much

Help is the best pre 65 album....

oh wait it came out in 65.....its the best pre rubber soul album

wow Abbey Road is almost perfect. It's soo strong all the way through but I think I perfer the second half.

Word.

My current favorite pre-Rubber Soul song is [I]It Won't Be Long.[/I] The chorus is just ridiculously catchy.

My list of albums would go:

White Album
Sgt. Pepper's
Abbey Road
Let It Be
Magical Mystery Tour
Rubber Soul

I don't listen to anything Pre-Rubber Soul, or any albums I have a song here and there that I like but none of their albums I would rank above a 3. Just not my style.

I mostly listen to the later stuff, but I certainly enjoy the earlier music now and again.

The early music is more fun to listen to in the car. Doesn't require as much of your attention to enjoy.

Deus I completely agree, It Won't Be Long is almost dangerously catchy.

I really like the song "from me to you". I love the melody and the energy.

Anyone else like it?

yah, great song....they all are though, my favourite would have to be hey jude or let it be, i like the soft beatles style...

Ive been liking Sgt. Pepper's psychadelia. It really makes the album really unique and enjoyable.

What are your thoughts on Revolver?

I love Revolver. It has such a great assortment of songs, and in my opion it is the first time George had a good song he wrote by himself(taxman is a great song, and he had some others on there to). Tommorow Never Knows is a wicked osng, so experimental, Elanor Rigby is a great song, with no Beatles playing an instrument on it.

Hey, greetings. Been away for a while but have been catching up on the discussion.

Got a book for Christmas -- The Beatles by Bob Spitz

Just recently published and is amazing. Can't put it down. A hefty work, about 900 plus pages, but worth the read for the info. Spitz is a biographer who has done Springsteen, Elton John and Dylan. Mostly works New York Times and Washington Post. No fly by night here.

Answers most the questions I see here on who did what and when it really happened. Like yes, a session drummer named Andy White played on 'Love Me Do.' HOWEVER, that was on the first session demo press for Parlophone. The tempo of the song was slower and George Martin didn't like it. Martin brought them back in the Abbey Road studio a month later and recorded it again in the faster up-tempo version we are all familar with. That's the released version we all know and love, and YES, Ringo did the drums on that, the final cut. Cool, huh?

Read Med57's reply on what the Beatles did for music. Very well put, especially the instrumental experimentation.

The effect we take for granted called 'phasing' was created in the sixties by running two identical tapes of music in perfect sync together to achieve that 'swooshing' effect. It was very tedious and time comsuming, but ground breaking none the less. It came from Abby Road studios and the term 'phasing' was coined by John Lennon.

So much that is part of music today was started by the beatles and it is just taken for granted. Many people do not acknowledge the roots.

I am in love with Rubber soul at the moment! So good!

Sad, but true. I know some people who don't like them, and it makes me wonder how they appreciate music... :angry:

In My Life is incredible. So is Norwegian Wood, The Word, Nowhere Man, and I guess the whole rest of the album. Rubber Soul is awesome.

imagine if the beatles never were....Wholey F@#* We'd be in a screwed up world.


K.. well I just had to say that

It certainly would be different. I think the Beatles were definitely that influential. Along the same lines as Bob Dylan.
