[QUOTE=GeorgeHarrison]Ob-la-di ob-la-da. I love this song. Its a nice catchy upbeat tune. Everytime i hear the song it makes me want to stand up and do the twist for some reason,[/QUOTE]

And Twist and Shout doesn't make you do that??

Which is by the way a brilliant song.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Sounds interesting... not sure how well the combination would work though.[/QUOTE]

It includes 16 minute tracks of Yoko screaming so... not too good but it has a really cool version of Cold Turkey

Ob la di, Ob la da is an awesome song. It's so catchy, and you just have to sing along.


16 minute tracks of Yoko screaming^? I'll pass...

Hey RockJunkie, haven't seen you in a while

Yeah it was a pretty crappy album: Sometime In New York City

Yeah, I was here for about 30 seconds on Friday, and other than that, I probably haven't been here for a week and a half. :( Too much softball.

Meh maybe it will grow on me, there was a time I didn't like Pink Floyd, :upset: I had no soul at that time.

I hated the dead until a few mere months ago :upset:

And then you saw the Classic Rock thread.

Naw I got American Beauty before I even joined the forums

But Sgt. Pepper's coverted me to CR :D

I wish I could say the Beatles got me into classic rock, but Led Zeppelin gets credit for that.

^ Same.. Led Zeppelin got me into classic rock

The Rolling Stones got me started, but the Beatles were who got me to look for more.

Yea I mean I always liked the stuff I heard on the radio, but it wasn't till I heard Communication Breakdown that I was hooked.

I always beleived that LZ I has the power to convert almost anyone

Immigrant Song got me listening to more classic rock.. A Hard Day's Night or All My Loving got me listening to more Beatles songs

the best beatles song is twist and shout its ****in amazing

Twist and Shout is so much fun to play. I always have to jump around while playing it. :cool:

Let It Be = musical geniou snever to be tapped into ever again.. whcih makes me sad

I got into classic rock listening to The Beatles and Chuck Berry. Aaand... Twist And Shout is good, but not amazing.

[QUOTE=Johnnymario]Let It Be = musical geniou snever to be tapped into ever again.. whcih makes me sad[/QUOTE]


I'm don't quite agree with that. Let It Be is great, but not that great.

heres a random fact on the beatles: in 1968, george harrison invited jim morrison from the doors to a recording session of the beatles, if you are to go into the tape archives at abbey road of the beatles, you can hear jim morrison singing back up on "happiness is a warm gun", i got that in the Jim Morrison biography.

That's interesting. I'd like to hear that. Nice avatar, too. :thumb:

I think you'll find if you look hard enough you'll find just as I did that the Beatles did jams with just about every band. Same thing with Hendrix.

the beatles are okay...

Twist and Shout IMO ultimate dance number.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Twist and Shout IMO ultimate dance number.[/QUOTE]

True, well unless you concider the stoner "sway" a dance, then I would have to say Fool on the Hill.

[QUOTE=PreludeToDisaster]the beatles are okay...[/QUOTE]

What of theirs have you heard? A lot of people who don't have much familiarity think of the Beatles as "Yellow Submarine" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", good songs, but not representative of all of their works. If you're into harder rock, try listening to "Helter Skelter". It's on the White Album.

Wow thats like an exact echo of what I tell people who don't give the Beatles enough credit as a rock band.

I use the same songs as examples too, kinda spooky.

Well yeah. I'd love to do Helter Skelter to some punks or something, see what they think. People who aren't really into music might not be able to tell it's not punk.

I use Yellow Submarine mainly because one of my friends laughed and said that song when I said I liked the Beatles. I was actually listening to Revolver at the time so it was a little eerie. Many people think of either the early days or Ringo's songs when they think of the Beatles. I like Ringo's songs and definitely appreciate the dynamic he added to the band, but I like the other guys' stuff better.

That is not entirly true some experts claim he singing but his name is not in the credits of that session. Good job on reading Steven Davis and nice avatar. :)

Worst post ever congrats... :thumb:

Sombody should smack you for using John Lennon in the same sentence with that guy too. :angry:

Wow...Imagine, 9, behind all of those. Seriously.......

All in the Life? You mean A Day in the Life :lol:

That's whats happening in the world of p2p mp3 sharing....**** people with their mislabeling.

They recorded Let it Be before Abbey Road. Abbey Road is their swan song, so to say. Let It Be was a time when they all hated each other and they knew they were breaking up so they left Let it Be and recorded the amazing Abbey Road. The song "the end" was going to be the last song on the last beatles album.

I find it slightly ironic that the 1st song on their last album is named "Come Together".

yer, oh well, let it be has its good points too

I think "Across The Universe" strikes one of Lennon's lyrical high points.

[QUOTE=Med57]It's a shame they went out with Let It Be, but I don't think that album's really musical genius...it's underrated, as it gets criticised loads compared with a whole load of their other work, but it's definitely not in the same league as their greatest albums. I've always wondered where the band would have gone had they stayed together though. :-/[/QUOTE]

I dont think that album is musical genious either, but you have to look at its strong points. I mean, it was their only real TRUE rock and roll albums. All their albums had alot of pop/psychadelic elements to it. This album was basically just srtaight up rock. (except for across the universe, which was eerie and wierd) When you listen to the album you see alot of things like 12-bar-blues, and alot of things you would orient with rock and roll. In my opinion, it is a very good record, but i wish it wasnt their last.
