I'm just curious... who here is a Beatlemaniac, who likes them, who thinks they're ok, who's indifferent, who dislikes them, who hates them, etc. Not a debate about how great they are (there's NO debate about that, you're all Lennon's bitches, and so is every musician :-), I just want to see who likes them. I obviously think they're God's gift to humanity, truly bigger than Jesus (Lennon was always right). Innovative as hell, and popular... imagine being the best and most imitated at your craft, AND being as popular as they were! Goodness gracious, great balls of fire, that NEVER happens anymore! I would give my left nut, and possibly my right (they don't seem to have any particular use anyway) to have those four guys back together at this moment, and in their 20s. They'd change music all over again, I'm postive, AND they'd be the most popular band on earth because they're THAT damn good. The fact that they quit while they were just getting better makes me teary eyed, can you just imagine 3 or 4 more Abbey Road-like albums... music would be so much better if that had happened. ENOUGH!!! I get too passionate about them. I digress. Just want to know who likes them and how much. I like the THIIIISSSS much. *extends outstreched arms |

i love them. however... while lennon was the lyric genius, McCartney was definatly the musical genius -Zeus |

I'm very indifferent to the Beatles...probably the only one in the world who doesn't love their music to death. I'm sure if I gave it a chance I'd like it. But I do recognize and acknowledge their great contributions to music. |

Ive actually never heard much stuff by them. are the beatles really that good? |
||||||||

I think if a person doesen't like one single Beatles song there must be something seriously wrong with them!! |

i was brought up listening to my dad's beatles stuff... to me its just pop music that is really good! I dont know, when ur brought up on music u dont tend to look into it that much - u just sing along. Well that's wot happens to me! but yes, i think they're goood :-) very influencial... well, that's wot im led to believe ;-) |

...(logs on), good evening Ophecks (clean screen i hope). i was a TOTAL Beatle nut in my younger days(groan).I read all the books,had all the records,knew stuff that would have bored someone to death etc. I still love 'em but not as intensely as i did (i used to think about the beatles all day and nothing else).I used to cry if 'Imagine' got played,I remember where i was when Lennon got shot,Seen Macca live,Have also got a photo of Harrison's fireplace (!) from his Esher home(it is no ordinary fireplace though, it is painted beautifully with Buddha's etc).I could go on....}:> |

I love their straight forward-ness... that univeral appeal. They were UNDENIABLY creative and original, without alienating certain groups of fans. A 5 year old could sing along with Hey Jude, but the song is NOT childish, it's deep and touching. I love those guys! |

RobE, that was me a year/two years ago, I lived and breathed the Beatles... I don't listen to them nearly as much now that I've got into electronic music and the like (they partly led me here), but I'll never stop listening to them every once in a while. I just put on some Strawberry Fields Forever, and they sound SO much better than Aphex Twin. :-) I just had to start a topic about them. |

no, you're not alone... I'm in the same boat... indifferent to them really... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I dont actually hate them, hate is really a strong word (my grandpa used to say that when I was really young). But I dislike the beatles a whole lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Wow...I just dled Hey Jude...it's pretty good :) I might just get some beatles cds! |
||||||||
|
|

Zeus Yep! my best friend almost went there. he's a guitar player. anyway...back to the beatles |
||||||||

A Day in the Life, Blackbird, Here Comes the Sun, Strawberry Fields, and some others are each fantastic... but I haven't really had a big desire to buy their albums... maybe I will sometime... I have a couple albums in MP3 format, but I don't listen to them much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Amonbrune... are you being sarcastic... you haven't heard any Beatles? I can't tell if you're messing with me or not, you Vancouverian psycho! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im not being sarcastic Ophecks. I don't know any beatles at all. What would be a good starter cd? |
||||||||
|

Oh man!!! It's SO hard to choose one Beatles album... they were ALL the next step for the music world back then, they all have their own style and importance. I really can't pick one... Maybe you should buy Beatles One, all the number one hits... almost 30 of them on one disc. Not their BEST songs, but their most popular. Get these tracks Strawberry Fields Forever (MUST HAVE) I am the Walrus (GET THIS ONE!!!) Here Comes the Sun A Hard Day's Night (flawless pop song) Come Together Eleanor Rigby (essential, download this amazing fucker) Rain Happiness is a Warm Gun Blackbird Something Because (AWESOME, listen to those voices, wowee) Birthday Sexy Sadie Yesterday (obviously) A Day in the Life (greatest song ever? Maybe) Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Tomorrow Never Knows (FIRST TECHNO SONG EVER, FROM 1966!!!!!!!!!!) Nowhere Man In My Life Help Daytipper Glass Onion |

At least get the ones with brackets next to them, I go overboard when I start rambling about the Beatles... that's a lot of tracks. ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the U2 version of Happiness is a Warm Gun better... check it out, it's quite good!! |
||||||||
|

I personally think the Beatles were and always will be the best band ever....Some of their songs are so different from others that you wouldnt have thought the same person wrote them, the sounds are different. I love them, I love them I love them. Beatles are great. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Wow thanks Ophecks :) I'll dl those songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jude is such an easy song to sing :/ wow. this is cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
coo coo coo joob |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ophecks: do you remember how long that One album is? I can dl it...but it says 79:08min. Is that the correct time? Just wondering if you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should get Hey Bulldog, too... that's a song nobody knows about, but it's pretty damn catchy and weird as hell. What a shame that it's buried underneath all the hits, it's so cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im a huge beatles fan, but only rvolver and after. ive had a long beatles phase, and i listened to em non-stop on my father's vinyls. revolver is PERFECT! what an album! and abbey road, and the white album. everybody has to download Tomorrow Never Knows. it's pretty fucked up for a beatles track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One is about 80 minutes... one disc filled to the hilt with catchy pop songs. It's not their best songs, by any means... download the tracks I listed to get the best (MY favorite, anyway). But it's designed for people that have NO clue about them. It's nice and accessible, no weird stuff. But personally, their weird stuff is what I love most! But One is damn good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is the correct time probably a good place to start, then you can figure out where to go next Hey Bulldog is (and i never use this word usually) MINT - i know where you're coming from man |
||||||||
|
|

|

I'm only sleeping Eleanor Rigby A little help from my friends( good song no matter what) Something (oh my god how i love this song) Dear Prudence Wild honey pie ...Bungalow Bill While my guitar gently weeps michelle Julia Rocky Racoon( damn i love this song) Nowhere man Two of us( gash this ones great) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't believe I didn't list I'm Only Sleeping and Dear Prudence... for any other band, they would be their best tracks by far... for the Beatles, they're just two more days on the job. :-) Two of Us is amazing, too... nobody mentions it, but it's perfect. |
||||||||

oh no... here we go again |
||||||||
|
|

oh yeah, i like the beatles alot. i got my brother into pat metheny group and am tgrying to get him into stuff like aphex and autechre (he is getting into some songs at least), and in return, he got me into the beatles. i like revolver alot! really good stuff, and there are many songs that i like a lot, Revolution, I'm only sleeping, glass onion, two of us, norweigian wood, taxman, blackbird, good stuff, man. good stuff. |

I think they're OK, although most of their stuff bores me. I'm not in the mood for them now |
