I like 'A Day In The Life' the best.

Up The Irons 07-27-2006 03:06 PM

Oh damn, I forgot 'A Day in the Life' was Sgt. Peppers.

Oh my, that song is amazing

El_Goodo 07-27-2006 10:08 PM

Both Sgt. Pepper tracks and a day in the life would be my favourites. Although I do love Getting Better.

I've been going on a Harrison binge the last two days. Yesterday I decided to pop in the first disc of all things must pass while taking a shower. And Now George is basically all I've been listening to for the last two days. I've got All Things Must Pass and then some downloaded tracks like This Is Love, and Any Road.

Although I still prefer Lennon's solo career, All Things Must Pass is probably the best post Beatles CD.

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 12:12 AM

Nah, I believe that title belongs to Band On the Run.

[QUOTE=morrison357]I like 'A Day In The Life' the best.[/QUOTE]same. And I like George Harrison's solo stuff most.

While I do like that song, I'm not really a fan of Wings or much of McCartney's solo material. It's too...McCartney-ish. Ram is a pretty good album though.

[QUOTE=Bron-Yr-Aur]Nah, I believe that title belongs to Band On the Run.[/QUOTE]

Blasphomy! ATMP has such great muscianship on it, and not to mention tons of great tracks. And it's alot more personal than songs like Bluebird of Band On The Run. I will have to admit that the title track is a classic, and Jet and Let Me Roll It are really great.

I've become obsessed with George over the last two days, I just read an interview of his, and learned that when he asked Dylan how he could write such amazing words, Dylan replied with "What about all those chords you play?" and then they wrote I'd Have You Anytime. (Which I just learned on guitar). George is truly an underrated singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 12:34 AM

True, but I like McCartney's solo stuff the best. Finished a review on Please Please Me. Pretty fly stuff.

On a side note, does anyone else like Magical Mystery Tour more than Sgt. Pepper?

Seafroggys 07-28-2006 12:39 AM

I do....MMT, to me, rocks more, and is less blegh then Pepper's.

/doesn't have MMT *checks track listing*

Now that you've brought it up, MMT kicks Sgt. Pepper's ***. There's some tracks on Sgt. Pepper that I could live without hearing again for the rest of my life *achoo-fixing a hole* *cough-lovely rita* and with Strawberry Fields, Hello Goodbye (gotta love the ending), Blue Jay Way, Baby Your A Rich Man and All You Need is Love it's definitley a contender for one of the Beatles best albums. But not owning the album I've never listened to it a whole, so I never realized this.

Leper 07-28-2006 12:45 AM

If you look wayyyy back in this thread I think I mentioned my love for MMT with great enthusiasm, and it's still my second favourite after Revolver.

PrimalBreath 07-28-2006 12:46 AM

[quote]*achoo-fixing a hole*[/quote]

What's with the hate for Fixing A Hole? I love Sgt. Pepper; I find it to more or less a perfect album. But Mystery Tour just tops it with it's amazing song selection.

Check it.

Seafroggys 07-28-2006 12:49 AM

I agree on fixing a hole, but I find Lovely Rita to be one of the more rocking tracks on Sgt. Pepper's.

I commented on that review...I rated the album 5...but I think it was because I'm blinded by my love for the beatles. I do love every track on that album, but it's really not a classic, more so it's just a really great record worthy of a 4 or 4.5.

Anyone else cream there pants thinking about how great it would have been to hear the beatles playing on the rooftop?

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 12:55 AM

Right as I posted that link ( I am PrimalBreath). I always show that performance to friends, expecting them to flip out about how awesome it was. Then I cry and realize I might like it too much. :(

[quote=El Goodo]I commented in that review[/quote]

Ah, indeed you did.

Leper 07-28-2006 12:56 AM

Pfft, fan-boys. :p

Haha very weird...I went back to the review of Please Please Me to see if that was your review, and I found the link and I was watching it then I came back to this thread and PrimalBreath had posted the same link, and I was like...hmm..thats ironic. I prefer the rooftop video of Don't Let Me Down. I think going back into the second verse? John just sings jibberish, that's a classic moment, just seeing how much fun there having.

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 01:01 AM

Yeah, I posted it in there too, but people on sputnik don't seem to appreciate the finer points of that performance. Don't Let Me Down is so under rated.

It was on my top 10 favourite Beatle songs, on which you commented as being your exact list :naughty:

Right now I'm watching the video for Harrison's Crackerbox Palace, for some reason I find it hilarious. When he says the second line "My eyes could not yet see" his hand movements crack me up! But the dreaded moment the top of the youtube site warned me about has happened, and the sites now under construction.

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 01:10 AM

[quote=El Goodo]John just sings jibberish, that's a classic moment, just seeing how much fun there having.[/quote]

And it's ironic, if you take into account almost every point in the movie up to that concert they were bitching and arguing.

El_Goodo 07-28-2006 01:20 AM

This is a crazy site...go to the box that says Harrison albums, and click brainwashed...then go threw the crazy twisted ride that is the site...don't ruin the fun and click go straight to the garden.

Bron-Yr-Aur 07-28-2006 01:24 AM

That's f[u]u[/u]cking weird. I wasn't quite sure what I was doing.

Seafroggys 07-28-2006 01:34 AM

When The Beatles were playing on Let it Be, their differences were put aside, and they just had fun.....and kicked ***. Of course, they needn't try, because they're just that way!

El_Goodo 07-28-2006 01:46 AM

Yeah It's a shame Paul had to try and take over the band causing there break-up.

/awaits fierce arguments

Leper 07-28-2006 02:03 AM

Gah lets not get into that again.

El_Goodo 07-28-2006 02:08 AM

/dissapointed by failed attempt to inject life into thread.

Ok fine! Get into that again! See if I care!

:lol: El, you know just as well as I do that there were loads of reasons for the groups' demise.

It doesn't matter what/who caused them to disband because they would've broken up very soon after they actually did anyways. I mean say they didn't break up when they did could you really see the Beatles surving into the 70's etc?

Which is sort of what I was saying. Slightly. However, it does matter who and what caused them to break up, as it's a topic of interest. Kind of like JFK. It doesn't matter who killed him, he would've been dead soon anyway, right?
