[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]****...I really need to get that album[/QUOTE]

That's the next album I'm getting, after Abbey Road.

I love that song though. I'm gonna try to play it for the Talent Show this year.

Im thinkin of gettin it next, but its expensive as hell here, so i might get Let it be or Let it be Naked next.

Get Let it be Naked.. I don't have the White Album either.

Dude, if you can afford it, go White Album instead. It owns Let It Be very much.

Im probably gonna get both, but when i feel like affording white album, i wont hesitate. Its defintaly one i want to purchase myself, not burn.

I'll have to try to find those :)

Hey WALRUS -- I went to Glassboro State in New Jersey during the 70's. It's now Rowan University as 10 or so years ago a guy named Rowan made an endowment of several million dollars to the school, so they changed the name of the school. Guess I'm a diploma orphan now. Hear if he would've thrown in a couple thousand more they would have changed the name of the whole town from Glassboro to Rowan. Yuk, Yuk... me bitter? Not really.

But yeah, we had Billy Joel appear running around on stage in a grey suit wearing sneakers right after the Turnstiles album release. After his next album, The Stranger, he got too big to be playing the campus circuit.

FYI -- My wife bought tickets for the McCartney show coming to Philly in September. Guess I'll be attending again, though no-one's twisting my arm if you know what I mean. ---- Hope I'm not assigned to photograph him for the newspaper that night... I don't have the same equipment storage privileges as I do in Atlantic City. That would suck.

And finally, I think asking for personal interpretations of lyrics is a fine idea in this thread. But write what it means to you personally. Reams have been written on the meanings, double meanings, triple meanings, etc, etc. Enough critics and doctoral thesis intellectual sleuths have already written books and books trying to get into Lennon's head. Tell why that particular song sings to you. Sure, Lennon took snippets from news, classical literature, and of course the new-found drug culture and mixed them together in various forms. He was a punster and loved to play with words. But he had a knack of finding the right combinations that touched everyone differently. Coupled with his bandmates, the music had a rare way of speaking to individuals individually. And that, of course, is why we are still sitting here today typing away, debating and discussing points and opinions, about a band that was at their height close to 40 years ago.

Quite remarkable when you think about it.

This section made me think a lot.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]yea, it's not so talkative in there anymore



anything a little more specific?[/QUOTE]


:D I could narrow it down, but it would have to be an "at the moment" thing:

Song: Across The Universe
Album: Meet The Beatles

"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide"


I'm actually still very horrified how Charles Manson could take such a simple song and turn it into a murderous fevor.

Favorite Song: Always changes, but right now Mr. Mustard/Pam/Bathroom Window medly.
Favorite Album: Abbey Road. Never changes. Perfection.

Favourite Song: I've Got A Feeling/Hey Jude (Changes frequently)
Favourite Album: I only own two :( Numbers 1's and Rubber Soul. Both are amazing..Ill go with Rubber Soul since it's actually a real album.

Correction make that three..I just remembered I also have Please Please Me. :thumb:

Album - Abbey Road.
Song - A Day In The Life.

Oh, Hey Jude and A Day in the Life are most defintly up there also.

I've been listening to Revolver most this week.. so

Album - Revolver
Song - Eleanor Rigby

Album: Sgt Peppers Loney Hearts Club Band
Song: Helter Skelter

Song - You wont see mee
Album - The White Album

(Song favorite changes frequently. But the white Album will always bee on top.)

yeh
 

well there over rated

Yes,... these posts are more like it. Kudos to all! :)

This morning before work, I pulled out Revolver, plugged in my Hofner, and monkeyed around the frets. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' always stands out for me. The simplicity --- all it is, is a C chord in structure, bass is C only with the octave C as the accent --- coupled with the intricate dissonant backwards and forwards effects and surreal detached vocal, is a masterpiece. Always blows my mind that someone's mind could conceive such a impressionistic composition.

Welcome to the forums. What a well-thought out, productive post. :thumb:

[QUOTE=nelison]well there over rated[/QUOTE]

You're overrated!

And MYR, the Manson thing does slightly diminish the enjoyability of the song:(

To be honest, I think the Beatles are actually become ing UNDERrated. Not by our parents generation, but ours. Today it seems everybody who doesn't listen to classic rock (and even a few who do) see them as a stupid pop band, and only think of I Want to Hold Your Hand and songs like that, when they are SOOOOO much more.

A lot of people in my grade are now Beatles fans.. well they say they are, and they wear Beatles shirts and stuff but they've only heard of one song

I agree The Beatles are almost becoming Underated
It seems kids that happen to be classic rock fans would rather listen to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath than John,Ringo,Paul,and George :confused:

^^^Yeah, all the classic rock poser fanboys at my school are all BOC, Zepp, Sabbath, etc. though one of them actually has a Let it Be shirt, I was so surprised.

Pink Floyd sure seemed to be this years fan boy classic rock band, I've never seen so many Dark Side of the Moon Shirts.

Yeah
Dark Side of The Moon
1973 Tour shirts
They're everywhere, and the kids probably don't even know who Pink Floyd is.
It's pretty sad
