The Beatles' Thread

[StevegSr]

I've never seen one on the fabs, so here it is.

[Vic2012]

You're kidding right?

[Svetonio]

[Dave (in MA)]

Search for "Beatles" in Search Titles Only only brings up 37 threads. How are we expected to compete with Steve Hoffman Music Forums with so few Beatles threads?

[Vic2012]

Steve is yanking our chains......

[StevegSr]

What? I'm serious! Who is the better drummer, Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts?

[Vic2012]

Ringo.

[Halmyre]

Never heard of them.

I'd say Ringo was perfect for the Beatles, and Charlie fit the Stones just right

I really couldn't say, I'd go Keith Moon just off hand.

I doubt Keith Moon would have worked in The Beatles. Drummers have to fit in the music and thoug Keith Moon was perfect for the Who, I doubt his drumming would have worked in the music of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. It would have changed the music.

True, I agree, but what I was saying is that I can't tell much difference between Ringo vs. Watts. Keith Moon I can hear what he's doing--he stands out.

Yeah, Keith Moon is something else altogether. Ringo and Charles are more timekeepers. Nothing wrong with that though and they defenitly did a bit more than just keeping time, but they were less upfront.

It's a bit like Rob Kloet from Nits and Cesar Zuiderwijk from Golden Earring.

[headcrash]

Guitar groups are on their way out.

We don't do "boy bands" here!

I was waiting for that.

Better to start a thread when you have something to say, maybe?

[StevegSr]

Ok, done. Revolver was a surreal album cover that worked.

Or respond to a thread when you have something to say, hmmm?

I don't mind a Beatles thread, tho I have to admit a lot of the time I have nothing to add, however, the new single strikes me as a money grab, tho an okay song. I thought the same about that CD from years back, Anthology 1 with Free As a Bird on it. A compilation album by the Beatles, released on 20 November 1995 by Apple Records as part of The Beatles Anthology series. It features rarities, outtakes and live performances from the period 1958–64. I thought it was nonessential and a money grab too--not blaming any of the Beatles there, most the record company, but hey, if I were a Beatle, I'd probably say, why not?

While The Beatles was the first band whose music I was into as a kid (especially the more psych stuff) I've never really been very interested in their personal lives or stories for some reason.

The Beatles are one of a handful of bands that I can truly "binge" on - I do not get tired of their songs. When I hear one, I tend to want to hear more. Not all bands do that for me. Just a few: Stones, Yes, Moon Safari, Rush... They are the opposite of most bands that I still love, but can only take in smaller doses. It may have to do with the size or their catalogs. But it also has to do with the breadth of the type of music.

The thing I like about the Beatles is that I can listen to earlier R&R style Fabs, without having to pull out the Elvis records, and just keep moving forward until I get to Abby Road!

It's all so different, how can anyone get bored with it? I get hooked on it all so easily. I've been collecting for about 40 years, have thousands of unreleased recordings and still can't get enough.

[rcarlberg]

I filled a thumb drive with something like 344 Beatles songs, and play it in my car on shuffle. Hard to believe sometimes that all these great and varied songs are by the same four guys.

[StevegSr]

Pick One: A Hard Day's Night, Help or Yellow Submarine?
