My other favourite band.

I love everything from Rubber Soul through Let It Be.

Tomorrow Never Knows might be the best song ever written.

The Beatles are awesome. THere would be no bands like Nirvana without them. Their early stuff was good pop stuff, but they wouldn't be that great without their post Rubber Soul music.

I love the song Sergent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band and the song from The Wonder Years.

Oh yes, I love them! 'Sgt. Pepper’s' is my favorite record. They wrote such great Songs and great melodys. Unbeatable!

I simply ADORE The Beatles. Fave song has to be "Yellow Submarine".

What are everyone's top three favorite albums of The Beatles'? Mine are:

1.) Revolver
2.) Abbey Road
3.) The White Album/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Well, here we go again fellow Spiraller NIN fan.

with the beatles, i like to think that they changed (in a musical terms) as much as if backstreet boys would have taken drugs were gone doing good alternative rock music. i mean, c'mon , the gap between "hard day's night" and "sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band" is huge!

i'm beginning to love them more and more.

Yesterday makes me want to punch someone's nose flat, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da ought to be blown out of existence with dynamite, When I'm 64 makes me want to blow my own brains out and there's a lot of their back catalouge that leaves me a bit meh...

But McCartney doing Helter Skelter at Glastonbury was phenomenal... even if the man is completely lost in happy Maccaland and refused to do more than a cursory check-in with Yellow Submarine.

A bigger travesty was his point blank refusal to even acknowledge the frog like noises emanating from the audience.

Found myself forced to download mp3's since a person I do not want to see ever again, has all my Beatles vinyls. I recently started listening to them, love what I've heard so far but not quite familiar with all their work.

I understand that whole concept of people that you never want to see again, I've got a few of those myself.

Recommendations: The White Album, Revolver, Abbey Road (especially side two), and Let It Be - Naked (these are the pre Phil Spector recordings and the way that all four Beatles in various interviews had said that Let It Be should have been done).

As for those who came in here specifically to run down the Beatles, why would you do that? It's just silly. It's akin to going to a NIN show just to hold up a sign telling Trent that he sucks, what's the point?

^^^ Agreed!

A Hard Day's Night is both an amazingly funny film and a great album. I'm biased because I like the Beatles later work better than their early work but that's just me and I would NEVER say that any of their music all out sucked. lol For me to say that would just be an all out lie!

Here is my take on the Beatles. I'm sure some people may disagree but here's my view on one of the greatest bands of all time:
It seems that most people prefer their mid-late stuff. I was of that mindset for many years, but now I really prefer their earlier stuff. After Rubber Soul there was a last gasp of inspiration with Revolver...and then it kind of fell apart. I feel the white album is pretty overrated and they really should have compressed it to make one decent album rather than the two discs which contained some poor songs (Don't Pass Me By, Honey Pie...shiver). All the albums after Revolver seemed to have songs that didn't seem to hang together (probably because the musical tastes of the band were going in different directions), and instead of a good album there was just a few good songs...surrounded by sugary McCartney pop. By the time it gets to Let It Be there are only 2 songs I like (I Me Mine, Across the Universe)

Some of my fav Beatles songs:
You Can't Do That (A Hard Day's Night)
You're Gonna Lose That Girl (Help!)
It Won't Be Long (With the Beatles)
I Should Have Known Better (A Hard Day's Night)
If I Fell (A Hard Day's Night)
You've Really Got A Hold On Me (With the Beatles)...yeah..I know it isn't a Lennon/McCartney song but this is still one of my fav beatles songs.

"you can't do that" is one of my favorite songs as well.
have you heard the beatles anthology version? it's one of my favorites.

I also like the early beatles as well as the middle and late.
It's sort of like us NIN fans fighting over The Fragile vs. Year Zero.
They're two different genres and have different focuses and it doesn't mean both can't be AWESOME...

sorry to mention NIN on a beatles board. I'm so going to hell for that one. But I was probably going anyway, right?

in an interview once, Ringo said they should have released the white album as two separate albums. Like the white album, then, the whiter album. something like that.
I don't like disc 2 as well, but I do like "sexy sadie". and helter skelter, that's on the second, right? yes.

I also like "her majesty" on Abbey Road. And alot of the little snippet songs on there.
short little ditty's.

I always liked George best. any other George fans out there?
