Anyone else gonna watch the grammies this year? Paul is up for Best Album, and Best Male Pop Vocal. But he's up against Mariah Carey, U2, and Kanye West. Something tells me although he shouldnt, Kanye is going to win.

If i am hearing The Beatles in mixed Beatles cd's or playlist(in itunes or ipod) i tend to skip a few songs like Chains and Penny lane. If i am hearing any beatles albums then I don't skip any.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]The White Album is by far my least favourite album from the Beatle's Rubber Soul and on era. Half the songs just sound like meaningless fluff to me, some of the songs don't even contain what I would consider decent creativity and songwriting. Personally, I think The White Album would have been much better as a single album.[/QUOTE]
Definitely agree. I've never understood the appeal of a lot of that album.

I generally prefer the second half of Abbey Road for consistency, but I feel that the best tracks (Here Comes the Sun, Something) are on the first half.

I'll second that. The White Album has this in common with The Wall, that both contain brilliant songwriting and music, interspersed with boring fluff and filler.

You know what's awesome...I burned Sgt. Pepper and MMT onto one CD (because they're that short!) with a long pause in between, so I can just pop it in for one 80 minute experience of musical bliss. (my dad owns the albums and when I left for college I was copying a lot of his CDs) I love it.

Very cool, who's he against for best album? Chaos and Creation was one of my favorites of 2005.

I still haven't heard all of that album..

I never really listend to Chaos and Creation. I was never really into Pauls solo work. I liked Band on the Run though.

I'll have to disagree with that. The Wall is nothing like The White Album. The Wall has a definite and fairly obvious theme to it, The White Album just seems like a random collection of songs. All the so-called "filler" in The Wall is simply less popular songs that are necessary to keep pushing the story/theme along. The filler in The White Album is just plain filler, but I don't really complain about filler...especially when talking about The Beatles. I'm happy to hear everything ever written or performed by the Beatles, brilliant or not.

I feel the exact same way about his solo career (though I love Mabye I'm Amazed). Though I liked Chaos and Creation I would give it a chance if I were you he really supprised me on this album.

I like the fillers on the White Album, while they arn't my favorite tracks I think the Beatles were just trying to experiment and I have a great respect for all experimentation.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a shot. I saw him on the Ellen show for it and the one song he did was passable.

I may upload it tomorrow for you and Blue3.

If you do, thanks. Need our emails?

Hey for once it wasn't me bumping this thread. Great write-up on Revolver MBS. I laughed when I read your I'm Only Sleeping review...Mystical powers of IMO hahaha. But really, how can you think that's a weaker track!?

Too bad Here Comes the SUn is on side 2 :D

I like all of Abbey Road, but the White Album is where I start skipping stuff. I can do the first disc, but when it gets to the second, there's a lot I pass over. In fact, I don't listen to the second disc much at all.

I really need to get the White Album on CD. It's very inconvenient for listening purposes to only have it on vinyl.

What? No Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter?

Hell, even Monkey, Savoy Truffle are pretty good.

The only songs I consider fillers on the white album are Savory Truffle, and Wild Honey Pie.

My favourties of that album are Honey Pie (that song is catchy as hell), Helter Skelter, Revolution 1 (Although I prefer the single version), and Happiness Is A Warm Gun.

Yesterday I purchased the "Beatles Box" vinyl collection from a record store for $40 Australian, which is about $30 US. I think I got a good deal, just wondering what other people think.

The Wall has a concept, and without some songs, the story wouldn't flow.

I've always like Wild Honey Pie
Some say that Revolution 9 was a waste of time, but I think John spent more time on that that alot of other things on the album.

My sister showed me a picture of Paul's son James, and he is really terrifying. Which Beatle child do you think looks the most like their father? I think Dhani Harrison and Sean Lennon are almost dead-on

James McCartney = holy crap! And Dhani Harrison is a deadringer for his father.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]What? No Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter?

I like Yer Blues, Mother Nature's Son, Helter Skelter, and I guess Sexy Sadie. Other than that I'm not really diggin' disc 2.

[QUOTE=n00bguitarist]There's no way you can compare the two; they're totally different. T[B]he Wall has a concept, and without some songs, the story wouldn't flow.[/B][/QUOTE]
Essentialy filler... look at Tommy, perfect album and has no filler what so ever, and if anything could be considered filler its one of those 40 secound songs. Not a 10 hour song like on the Wall.

Pauls son looks like a fatter version of him. Dhani has his fathers like face, but a way different nose. Zak doesn't resemble Ringo at all. Sean looks like his dad.

What's so scary about James McCartney? Like Jac said, he just looks like a fatter version of Paul.

I own ALL of the Beatles albums, they're cool, but I like the later stuff better because it's about phychadelic euphoria and LSD's instead of girls, my favorite album is either MMT, SPLHCB, LIB, or AR

You don't like girls?

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]You don't like girls?[/QUOTE]

no, no, no, I do, I just don't like the fact that every band has to, at some point in their career, write songs of romance. Besides, I think it gets rid of some of their masculinity

A what?

Uh, ya... so many LSD's songs... :rolleyes:

Wow, so your telling me songs like Lovely Rita aren't about romance?

No wait your right. Drugs are the only thing people should write about.
