woah a very old thread I never saw before
without taking time to read all nine pages....
I think amongst many other very cool things they did
what I like best about the Beatles is that they could pack so many different ideas into two and a half minutes
songs like Paperback Writer or Lady Madonna each cycle through a halfdozen melodic ideas, wasting no time to noodle
any other band would have taken those same halfdozen melodies and dragged each out to fill a whole album
McCartney continued to write like that on his early solo albums, for which he deserves rarely given props

EDIT I just tried to read those 9 pages
did I miss the part that discussed the Beatles?
somebody owes me an hour of my life back!
I just bought a copy of Mojo Beatlemania, and since The Beatles are the shiznit, I thought I'd bump this topic up. Can't say I have that much to say about this fabulous band at the moment.. But I will. Just give me a little time.
hot damn this thread is old, i don't even remember what I voted for.
anywhooooo Abbey Road is one of the most perfect albums ever, along with the Holy Bible and Siamese Dream. I will shoot any disagreeable knickerbockers.
