The Beatles

[pwig]

Only just started to 'Discover' them recently. Went to see the bootlegs the other month and they were fantastic.

The question is, whats your favourite track?

Gotta be a Day in the life for me.

(on an aside, anyone know of any songs smiliar to Helter Skelter in terms of mad rockyness, as I dont have their entire back catalogue to hand lol)

[treehack]

Let It Be

[beano500]

Helter Skelter - pre-cursor to punk?

[pug406]

Girl, or Taxman from the Revolver album.
Edited to add everything from Rubber Soul

My favourite's always been Strawberry Fields, generally considered to be the first pop song with a specific video made for it (as opposed to a recording of the band playing it).

Other than that I'd say my favourites are Help!, A Hard Day's Night and I Feel Fine - all good driving tracks for that 'big GT, wood-rimmed wheel, gloves, slim Panatella, Alpine roads' feel, even if you're in Derbyshire.

Depends on my mood, being a happy chappy it's generally 'Lady Madonna'. There are a few that are fantastic though . 'Hey Jude' to end a night had the whole club singing it for 15 minutes outside

I 'discovered' the Beatles when the McDonald book came out in the mid 90's; prior to that I was only au fait with my dad's red and blue compilations.
Initially I was amazed at how dark, playful and 'simple' they were; as McCartney said, they were a good rock n roll band. They did nearly everything well, without being over the top.
The White Album was high on my wish list and it knocked me for six. Even though i had dabbled with Cream, Floyd and Zappa, I couldn't believe anything so wayward and unique was considered 'rock'.
In hindsight, it seems mannered and calculated almost contrived. However the highlights that still jaunt are 'Long Long Long' and 'Julia'.
Their later single (though technically double A sides),Paperback Writer and Get Back remain, to me, the point at which there's nowhere to look but down.

My favourite Beatles track has to be We can work it out. Listen to the words, fantastic.

And lets not forget 'While my guitar gently weeps'

[parrot of doom]

Hello Goodbye

So simple, so catchy, its the perfect pop song.

I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the band and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition.


John Lennon, last time the Beatles played together.

" Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?, He's not even the best drummer in the beatles!"
