Music Discussion #1 - The Beatles
Stop thinking this will be like Rate the Artist/Musician. I don't intend to spam the ever loving hell out of the forums like I did last time, so chill. I saw several people state that they dislike how little goes on in here, so I am aiming to change that.
Was thinking of doing one of these every three days, sort of like the "Better Wrestler" series has done that has been doing on for over a year now. It's a working formula and one I hope will work with this. I am going to start it off and if anyone wishes to go next just let me know and they can take over and then repeat the process. That way we get a great diversity of music up for discussion. My suggestion would be to post a picture of the band, embed a video of one of their songs for people to listen to if they haven't already. Perhaps discuss your favorite songs and albums by the band. ---- The Beatles The Beatles Wiki Page Quote:

Think my favorite song by them is "Strawberry Fields Forever" I always loved the melody of the song, the mood it gives just makes me happy.
"Come Together" and "Hey Jude" are two that I very much enjoy as well. Seems weird that a lot of people say that the Beatles are way overrated, I respect their opinions on it depending on other music they enjoy but how exactly you cannot like such amazing music is far beyond my understanding. |

Never 'got' the beatles. I like some of their songs but I just can't stand to listen to the majority of their library. Don't understand why SO MANY people think they are the best band of all time. Is it just because of the time they came out?
Similar to that argument, Hendrix. He was a great guitarist, but I can't stand a lot of his music. A lot of it just isn't pleasant to listen to. |

Actually, both Hendrix and The Beatles are pretty hit or miss when it comes to their libraries. Lots of stuff I dig and lots I don't. |

When you look back at the music that came out around the time the Beatles came onto the scene you see a lot of bands that were beginning the rock movement which took off in the 70's and 80's.
Honestly believe the Beatles were that catalyst that helped get rock into the main stream. You look back pre-60's and you see a vast amount of country singers but rock really took off after Elvis and The Beatles. |

I'm gonna be perfectly honest, guys. I heard the song "I Am The Walrus" for the first time ever yesterday in it's entirety. I've been listening to the same damn song for the past half hour. It's. So. Good.
What the hell is it about? |

Oh and not sure if it counts, but Imagine is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Honestly not a big fan. I get that they were massively influential and such, and I like a few of their songs - but for the most part it's not my cup of tea. Feel like most of the Beatles fans I know get offended at the very idea of somebody not liking them.

What Vito said, mostly. I like some of their songs but I wouldn't even remotely consider myself a fan.

Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour are the only two Beatles albums i own, like a few of their songs but couldnt name them. Ringo did the voice over for Thomas the tank engine so can't fault him ever.

Being from Liverpool, The Beatles were pretty much embedded into my mind, personality and culture from an early age. The city is full of amazing Beatles sights, tours, buildings, memorabilia. Just walking down roads where they used to live just feels amazing when put into perspective.

I am a massive beatles fan, and my favourite album is Revolver.
I'm still not sure what my favourite song is though, they released so many. It almost changes weekly, but Here, there, and everywhere has always stuck with me as a beautiful song. |

Revolver is easily my favorite album. Followed closely by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I love the Beatles. Favorite album is either Sgt. Pepper, Revolver or Let it Be. So many good songs on all of these.
Favorite song is definitely A Day in the Life though. I've Got A Feeling is a close second. |

I posted a thread years back about a book that I'd found that had a list of the 100 greatest Beatles songs of all-time. At the time, I gave serious consideration to posting my own list.
But I honestly don't know how I can whittle such an immense library of music that is - in several cases - perfect down to a measly 100. Maybe I'll revisit that idea some day. |

Wasn't talking about Hendrix in the first bit, but yeah. Even if they didn't innovate it, they did it very well.
