The Beatles

Got all these on a custom-Playlist shuffle at the moment: never gets boring:














Any Beatles fans?
Or haters?
Discuss.

 

even the shit songs?

 

Pretty much any thing after Help is great

 

even Octopus's Garden?

 

Ok just about anything

 

Pre-Help! is good...not in an album sense though...

 

I like quite a bit of the early stuff, yeah it's silly pop but it's so well crafted and catchy you can't help but enjoy it.

 

from the early stuff i think that the singles are good...but the rest is filler-songs
are there any hidden gems worth going over? to me it can all be summarised in a greatest hits album

 

The early stuff is well crafted but sooooooo corny

 

´The Red Album´ and ´The Blue Album´:

 

I grew up in the sixties and never liked the Beatles. Never understood what the hoopla was about.

 

Yeah but you like Cher so your opinion is invalid you silly spunkbubble.

 

Yup.
Cher and very dodgy 70s Disco is about his limit.


Weird.
I can imagine someone not liking The Beatles since growing up in the 60s because they get so revered and overrated now but not liking them at the time?

But it's Panchy isn't it? And we know he's not exactly 'musically-minded' to say the least, is totally fucked-up generally and suffers from sexual-molesting issues from his Uncle back in the day, etc, etc

 

He sings "Tip toe through the tulips" to pretty 9 year olds

 

And those dodgy 70s shirts he probably wears, often stained with the tears of a child....

 

"If you tells anyone, I will killed your parents"

 

FFS!


Panchy, to one of his underage victims:

 

Panchy, to another of his victims:

 

I grew up in Puerto Rico. English songs were always second fiddlers to Spanish songs. I don't even remember a single Beatles song being played on the radio, even though I was aware they existed because of all the hoopla on magazines. I did listened a lot of James Brown, the Byrds, the Who, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, the Supremes, the Beach Boys, the Fifth Dimension, the Mamas & the Papas, etc. But like I said all of that was at the bottom of radio airplay. For every 'English song' there were 10-15 Spanish songs (ballads, salsa & merengue). It wasn't until like 1969 that a neighbor, who was a Beatles fan, had me listen to his LPs collection.

I wasn't impressed...at all. To me Tom Jones was bigger than the Beatles (of course I was wrong, but while I have the Tom Jones greatest hits there is absolutely nothing from the Beatles). That said I like better some of their individual post-Beatles songs, like George Harrison "My Sweet Lord", Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die", John Lennon's "Imagine" and nothing from Ringo Starr...that no-talent jerk just took a free ride from the others.

 

Satellite now has beatles channel. "Here, there and everywhere."

 

´Bulllll-shitt, Mr Panch-Man!´:

 

you think?
surely living through Beatlemania would turn you away from the band completely....imagine getting into a band that your little sister had posters of all over her room a couple years earlier
then there's all that pretentious shit Lennon was doing

 

Never listen to them. Do nothing for me, dated, pompous meh-ness. Just kinda boring people, weren't they. Some guy who thinks yoko Ono is cool is the edgy one? If somebody told me they were a walrus at a party Id go chat to somebody else, that's crap.

 

LOL sit doon mate

 

Theyre a wee bit gash, that's all I'm saying. It's nice music for a cover band to play at a christmas market for the old people and kids, hey I know that song, that's ok. Maybe the next group plays dancing queen, fair play, very nice, the lights are pretty, let's order another egg nog.

 

What about everything from Revolver onwards....?

 

I prefer the cheesy early stuff that's fun. Obviously they've got a few later songs I think are pretty good but I never listen to them...they had unkempt tramp beards and brown corduroy flares by that point. You're disqualified, head to the showers.

 

Maybe, but your postings here come off a bit like: ´the same childish contrariness that made me refuse to listen to the Beatles until I grew up´*

What can I say, music chat brings out my inner magus.

 

I'd bottle hut if he ever spewed that hate speech to my face ... he'd wake up with a Beatles poster shoved up his ass, "Don't Let Me Down" blasting on repeat, a rope wrapped around his ankle leading to a precariously balanced bucket of hydrochloric acid... there's no way out
