Im listening to the beatles for the first time in a good long while, and its good stuff... but know what I noticed? their songs are over so FAST i mean, i know thats how pop songs are... but its just wierd, after listening to alot of electronic music that goes on for at least like 6 mins on avg... and usually longer. Its just odd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the stuff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the stuff is the stuff about the whole electronic music being generally longer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can understand your point about the contrast in song lengths in different music genres |
||||||||
|

Thank-you for taking the time to share that with us. |

Beatles Shmeatles..this is the Aphex Twin board for crikey.... hmm..who did a song called Beatles..which was or wasnot a a tribute to the pudding bowl haircut wonders.. hmm.. I am letting you off this time..you hear..on a mere technicality... |

Don't let Mr Ophecks hear you 'dissing' the Beatles! He'll hunt you down and have you killed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he knows about me dissing Beatles...they were mildly revolutionary in their day..but now they are just a source for royalty checks for that freak child molester that used to be black.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heheh, word |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
she's so.... heavy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check Elvis songs and lots from that period and before....It's really punk, two minute songs max, energy, emotion compressed. no ego massaging with 14 minute 'journeys'. I'm sure you all like one bit of your favourite track. 3.40 to 4.16 etc. why can't the track be that? forget the build up etc. what are you afraid of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the long outro on that song a LOT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too, that song is so heavy metal ("spit fire from the heavy metal" -m.o.p.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"it ain't over just keep pressin' rewind" -eve (ok, not the same calibre as m.o.p. but relevant to the topic) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right the beatles are over-hyped? don't think so... song writing ability? a lot of "IDM" artist should take a leaf out of their book quality not quantity lads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all of my songs are very short..so am I like pop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

''Mildly revolutionary''... BWAHAHAHAHA!!! John Lennon has more talent in his dick, his cold dead dick, then even RDJ has in his own body. When Jenkinson and Paradinas and Booth and Brown and the guys BOC (dunno their names) are gone and forgotten, the Beatles will stand as the benchmark, the thing everyone should aspire to be. Fucking innovative without being overly pretentious twats, and not afraid to be ''pop''... they didn't give a shit whether little kids liked them, or LSD popping psychos. They just did whatever they wanted and the music world adapted to THEM, not the other way around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I agree about the songs being over so quick... that's the only thing that sucks about Daytripper and A Hard Day's Night and some others... so good, too good, it would be great to hear 10 more minutes of it, it just WOULDN'T get boring. That makes me cry, that their songs are so short. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it ain't over just keep pressin' rewind!!!!!! anyway i totally agree with you about the beatles not trying to fit into a niche, i think that's what mccartney has and perhaps continues to try to do in his solo career tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex's track "beatles" and all other RDJ album tracks are over fast, which is a good thing since it makes change necessary, fast pace maximizes organization in the least time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love to sing "beetles" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I agree about John Lennon..but he was being dragged down by the cherubic jingle writer and the worlds' ugliest drummer while he was alive.. and now he's dead..long dead..but not before unleasing a pseudo art quasi intellectual wank fest that is Yoko Ono on the world... maybe he wasnt so great..why else would he co habitate with people that wrote songs that launched a million Waffle Iron campaigns...or smeared words on brown cardboard in house paint and insisted on calling it art? |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who cares WHAT he did outside of the Beatles... he was the most best and most important member of the best and most important band EVER... I don't care if he killed hobos and kept their heads in his fridge in his spare time, he wrote Strawberry Fields Forever and nobody else did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you misunderstood me..I am saying even the Beatles songs that werent written by him but by git that played a violen shaped bass left handed are utter shite... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing's real. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh... gotcha. But utter shite? Well, he's no Lennon... but utter shite, no way... his solo career, barring his first couple albums, is utter shit... and his Beatles songs tended towards sappiness... but not utter shite, it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt but I don't know how... :-/ He was the foil to Lennon's darker stuff. A foil dipped in candy cane sap, but with lots of nutritious melody. You're wrong cuz I said so! Your avatar scares the SHIT out of me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah maybe utter shite was a bit strong..but I had fun saying it..I mean comeon.. SAY SAY SAY!!??..what the fuck was that all about?..and Linda's ashes havent even cooled down yet and he's off deep throating a floozy younger than his daughter... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that girl's a real push-over |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't consider his solo career as being from the same UNIVERSE as The Beatles... totally different dimension. I don't listen to his solo crap. Paul is a 6/10, John is a 10/10, but together, they're a 50/10. The sum is greater than the parts... Paul kind of needed John to put a stop to the sap! :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's some bad math there... John 10/10 Paul -10/10..total sum zero but averages out to 7/10 by the sheer brilliance of John's stuff... |
||||||||

plastic ono band has some good songs on it, well at least 3. mother, god, working class hero. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you read about the 15 minute montage of the lessons in geriatric cradle robbing (snogging that child non stop) that was inflicted on the attendees of the wedding which had the attendees recycling gourmet vegan cuisine in the aisles..but somehow to Paul that translated to emotional resonance and he has decided to include an extended remix of it on the upcoming DVD... a planet wretches in anticipation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
+nods+..the exact three songs were my pick...agreed.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ono has done some great disco tracks! There is nothing wrong with being naked at the disco! ; ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"mother" is so fun to sing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mother, God, Working Class Hero... all awesome. But I like the whole album, every song, save for that one about fucking Yoko... stomach churning... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer Lennon's first solo album, Plastic Ono Band, to Imagine: Bleak and filled with raw emotion = Deeply moving (Radiohead, take note) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Imagine is so famous, but it isn't half the album that Plastic Ono Band is, IMO. I really, really love that album. Really. Really. Mother is so fucking awesome, and it's personal for me, the second verse is so me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead take note?! where've you been for the last 7 years?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I don't see why Thom is so dark and angry... what doesn't he have that he wants, he's rich and he's got a wife and a brand new kid, yet the guy doesn't seem to embrace ANY joy whatsoever... at least John was going through some genuine bullshit when he wrote that, showing his real feelings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe because he is ugly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess you haven't heard the new songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow when i left there was like 3 posts on here... i must say i disagree about lennon. he was great at lyrics... but all the music was mccartney, and thats what i love most about it. Paul is totally overlooked and underrated. His solo stuff isnt great, but what he did in the beatles was amazing. Perhaps it was because of the paul, john combo, but id say Paul was the more influential and talented one with the music. yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plastic ono band album is genius, as is all things must pass by harrison mccartney did nothing worth listening to after 1970 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with zeus that paul mccartney is way too underrated. in the last years of the beatles, during the making of their last (and best imo) albums (white album, abbey road, let it be) paul was the ringleader - he wrote most of the songs, did most of the arranging, and generally held the band together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and was responsible for the break-up of the beatles due to the fact he was so far up his own arse |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually no john was the one that was all pissy. He brought yoko into the studio all the time, which was like an unspoken rule, to not have outsiders... and she sat there and criticised stuff like she was a part of the band. so paul told john he didnt want her there, and john went apeshit because paul insulted her, and for that reason quit and never talked to paul again |
