The Anthology would be the best of them, but it's expensive. Like $50. Worth it though.

Britton 01-29-2006 07:47 PM

Okay. I don't know much about their lifes other then the music. And they are very inresting guys.

bcf (the resident Beatles' know-it-all :p) highly reccomends the new one out that's simply titled "The Beatles". I don't know who it's by, though.

I second this, an essential for any Beatles fan.

Anthology is a must have for everybody...to me it is THE definitive Beatle book/biography

Leper 01-30-2006 12:13 AM

I'm about half way through Anthology and enjoying immensely. I'd recommend getting that one for sure.

El_Goodo 01-30-2006 01:07 AM

The anthology is a bitch to read! But it's a very enjoyable bitch...possibly the heaviest/biggest book I've ever had in my posession.

Leper 01-30-2006 01:23 AM

You just mean length-wise right? 'Cause comprehension-wise it's very easy to read.

El_Goodo 01-30-2006 02:32 AM

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]You just mean length-wise right? 'Cause comprehension-wise it's very easy to read.[/QUOTE]

Yes length-wise! But I am a pretty lazy reader, I got it then read a few pages, then about a month later during my summer holidays from school I would read it when I was bored at like 12:00 Am, and I got lots of pages done at those hours. Then I went on holidays and brought it with me and finished it on the 5 hour drive.

I really enjoy Eleanor Rigby, Help! and She Loves You..Oh, Ticket to Ride too..

I was just listening to Eleanor Rigby.

Does anyone here prefer the Beatles earlier albums to their later albums?

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]I was just listening to Eleanor Rigby.

Does anyone here prefer the Beatles earlier albums to their later albums?[/QUOTE]I don't prefer their extremely early stuff (1st album, 2nd album, etc). I prefer Rubber Soul and onward. But once and a while I'll listen to their really early stuff.

Britton 01-30-2006 12:40 PM

I really like the later stuff more...even though it's a little trippy

El_Goodo 01-30-2006 12:56 PM

I like both stuff equally, some of there early songs are awesome like You Can't Do That, Not A Second Time, Should Have Known Better, there so catchy you can't help but love them.

DeusExMachina 01-30-2006 02:33 PM

[QUOTE=Britton]I really like the later stuff more...even though it's a little trippy[/QUOTE]
Almost everyone here prefers the later stuff. Although very few discount the early stuff entirely.

TheGoat 01-30-2006 02:42 PM

I love both equally. But I hear a bit more the early stuff and also i know more songs of the early stuff.

rockinbass17 01-30-2006 03:44 PM

Currently I am really enjoying thier middle period (Help!-Revolver) in particular.
Their singles from this time were pretty sweet, too.

MBS 01-30-2006 05:42 PM

A Hard Day's Night is a good album, and that doesn't seem to get much discussion around here other than "I Should Have Known Better". Favorite tracks from AHDN?

Incense and Peppermints 01-30-2006 05:43 PM

I wasn't aware of any albums pre-Revolver. And I'd like to keep it that way :P

Well that's because I Should Have Known Better is a fu[SIZE="2"]cking[/SIZE] sweet song. That's my favorite from that album. My other favorites are If I Fell, A Hard Day's Night, And I Love Her, and Can't Buy Me Love.

Everybody watch those videos, awesome stuff. I think I'll watch them again now.

Incense and Peppermints 01-30-2006 05:58 PM

[QUOTE=Britton]are you kidding?[/QUOTE]
Nope.
[QUOTE]We have a lot to talk about.[/QUOTE]
I have nothing to say to you.

I'm waiting for these videos to load, what are they? Beatles videos or something else? It says "by Melon" so I dunno what to expect.

Oh, how... odd....

BigTrav415 01-30-2006 06:00 PM

Melon is officially my favorite human being after seeing those videos. Trust me, they're awesome. Just watch, I showed them to either robo or magicbus on AIM a while back and they said they were awesome too.

Yeah I got them from you awhile back. They are indeed awesome. I just watched the Come Together video again. This time, I'm saving these links.

Incense and Peppermints 01-30-2006 06:04 PM

Oh wow, the I Feel Fine and Tomorrow Never Knows videos are great, Come Together was meh...

"If i fell" for me. Amazing vocals by Paul and John. "And i love her" is really good. Another song that proves Paul was or still is an amazing vocalist.
