How does everbody feel about Revolver because it hasnt been mentioned at all.

I really like it. I think Taxman has an incredible groove to it.:)

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Agreed, he had the best Beatles solo career.[/QUOTE]

I don't know, man, I always dug Lennon's stuff more than any. Paul was pretty good too.

I think Paul went with the Godly band where everybody was good at any instrument they picked-up while it seemed like Lennon went to bare essentials, just plain song-writing.

George definitly DID show his fancy guitar work (which is under-rated in and out of The Beatles) on his solo albums.

Ringo.......yeah.

Oh, sorry to double post, but Revolver, I think, really showed each individual song-writing member's own style that they developed into after the break-up. It sounds weird, but think about it.....

McCartney's songs were the high-produced rompy sort of pop/rock.
George's songs were few, but each one showed either a snappy feel or a sarcastic feel to it.
Lennon's songs were psych, and more on the edge of simpliscity, really focusing on the song-writing.

Just an idea I had. Good album.

i think my fave album is a hard days night. i dont know why. i've listened to some of their old and some of their new, and that album just seems so cool.

i think my fave song is either a day in the life, or day tripper, but theres too many good songs and albums to pick one in my opinion.

Across The Universe has amazing lyrics.

The thing I like best about the Beatles is that they never really wrote a bad song. All of their recordings were either good or great.

I'm sure they have a few bad songs. I just can't think of any :amaze:

Het Jude is doing well in the songs poll :)

That's such an awesome song.

I dont think it's that great, just another McCartney shell out. It was originally supposed to be called Hey Jules, named after Lennon's son Julian.

I voted for it but I prefer Echoes.:( I guess I just didnt see it.

I love the beatles. George Harrison had an awesome solo career.


*sings "ive got my mind set on you"*

I don't think Ringo is given enough credit. He was a pretty **** good drummer, was key to getting the band into the international spotlight, and even had his fair share of hits, both with the Beatles and after they broke up.

I personally think that the beatles are over rated. They may have started this whole rockl and roll thing (did they) but i never found theere music appealing or pleasent to listen to, Just an opinion

are you kidding me? the Beatles are the group that inspired me to get really serious about playing guitar!

He wasn't a good drummer. But he was witty and entertaining and the beatles weren't about drums anyways.

Thats why you don't hear from him anymore.

I once found a quote by Ringo that when he heard another drummer he realized that he was no good....but I think he was just being too hard on himself. plus, the Beatles wouldnt have been the Beatles without Ringo(in my opinion).

[QUOTE=rock not roll]He wasn't a good drummer. But he was witty and entertaining and the beatles weren't about drums anyways.[/QUOTE]

I'll admit he wasn't anything amazing, but it's hard to argue with the success the beatles had only after he joined.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Thats why you don't hear from him anymore.[/QUOTE]
I hear from him on Thomas the Tank Engine. Did you know he is the voice for the conducter???:)

This is true.

Though I think they could have had the same success with Pete instead of Ringo.

Well whatever, Ringo's awesome (period)

No, its the other 3 that made the beatles, Ringo have very little input into the band. The first song he wrote was Don't Pass Me By off of the White Album.

I just dont think it would be the same without him though.

Back when they were still around Ringo was the most popular Beatle.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]anymore... Shineing time station isn't on anymore.[/QUOTE]
There are always reruns.:)

[QUOTE=Livewired]I just dont think it would be the same without him though.[/QUOTE]
Musically I don't think it would matter, but personality wise there would be a difference.

they probably still would have been successful with Pete, but Ringo seemed more connected with the other three than Pete

Honestly, I think the Beatles are one of the most overrated bands ever.
And of course, now after saying that, I'm gonna get a bunch of whiney *** bitches who are going to try to argue with me and try to convince me that they don't actually suck.
Save it people. I have an iron will, and I tend to not listen to the opinions of people who listen to crap... like... I don't know... The Beatles.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Musically I don't think it would matter, but personality wise there would be a difference.[/QUOTE]
I dont know. I dont think they needed a good drummer. His style fit perfectly. And With a Little Help From My Friends wouldn't be as good.

Wish I was as cool as you.

People who say this usually don't understand the influence the beatles had.

The Beatles pwn all other bands that ever existed ever.

you're entitled to your own opinion but could you please express it somewhere else?

He gave no reasons for his opinoin, therefore he based off of nothing and is trying to act like he has musical intelligence by not likeing the Beatles.

[QUOTE=xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]they probably still would have been successful with Pete, but Ringo seemed more connected with the other three than Pete[/QUOTE]

doesnt matter George Martin didn't like him. Pete was a ****ty drummer

and George Harrison is the best Beatle

I bet he's never heard any Beatles songs. Most people who don't like them haven't heard anything by them and only assume that they aren't very good.

Espeacially when they don't make any valid points.

Exaclty what I said. He is just trying to be a rebel.

Anyways, I've read two versions of the Beatles' biography. One from '72 and the othr from 1997 :p. They were pretty different, obviously.

I know what you mean. A lot of people try to pass off The Beatles as nothing more than an early pop band as an excuse not to rescpect them. Listening to any of their stuff from [I]Revolver[/I] onward clearly shows this not the case.

... Right...
I saw a forum about the Beatles, so I decided to express my opinion on them.
As for the other things I have said, this has not been the first time I have expressed this opinion, so I already know the reactions of other people. People will go on and on and on and try to make me change my opinion and all they suceed at doing is annoying the hell out of me. So, to try to save people the time, I added in all that other stuff I said.
