Speaking for myself I can answer that by simply saying this....


At least I've heard of the Beatles.

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!

While this thread started off about The Beatles, it turned into something else quite rapidly.

I had wondered if this thread still existed on this board.

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.

Abbey Road is splendid!!!

If anyone is looking for a laugh, they should listen to the song You Know My Name (Look Up The Number).
