My favourite song is Come Together, and favourite album is Abbey Road.

Probably Strawberry Fields. Favourite album is probably Sgt Peppers.

"Let it be" is my fav song ))))

Yellow submarine

it's a f***ing tough one but I think I'll go with Imagine.

it's a f***ing tough one but I think I'll go with Imagine.

LOL! Hope you were joking:p "Beatles" songs!

White Album was the first I ever really listened to and I love most of the songs off it. But, the rock on Let It Be album is awesome, like "Don't Let Me Down". I'd have to say any of Let It Be, White Album ot Abbey Road would be my favourite on a given day... but every other album comes pretty close!

another favorite would be that one with rolf harris and the beatles.. forgot what its called 'tie me kangaroo down boys, tie me kangaroo down..'

'cut your hair once a year boys, cut your hair once a year, if it covers your ears you cant hear boys, so cut your hair once a year'



The song that first got me listening to the beatles (in grade 8) was Love Me Do

few more goodies

Penny Lane
We Can Work It Out

who are the beatles?

Fave Beatles track.
Hard to decide.
Fave album......
White Album hands down.
Its like four seasons in one day.

prolly, 'in my life' and 'yesterday'

Yesterday. Followed closely by Help! (cool movie as well)


The White Album is the winner!

Too many good songs to choose from.

It's like deciding if Billy Joel is better than Elton John.

8-)

oh yeah stick I wasn't joking :P

i always consider john lennon songs as beatles songs :/

i can't split Help, Here Comes the Sun and Let it Be for 'beatles' songs.

The green green grass of home

yesterday 4 me

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

followed closely by Fool on the Hill.

Anyone heard George Harrison with Eric Clapton do While My Guitar Gently Weeps?????

Highly recommend it.

oh also, Benifit of Mr kite - f***ing love that song and yesturday

.. i really like all of there songs & all of their albums & dvds/videos which is why they are my favourite band

ppl at scool allways look at me weird tho 'YOU LIKE THE BEATLES 0_0 OMG ROFL', while they go and listen to music that consists of 'f*** this, f*** that, n***** what? touch my slot'

I reckon if the Beatles didn't lose all their rights to most of their music it would be free to download by now. Too bad for most, but fortunately I have all their CD's:D Vinyl for the win though.

Sorta sucks how all their cds are still full-price...fkn Sanity was selling them all for $32 the other. Bah.

On a more positive note, I picked up a few early REM albums for $10 each the other day. Murmur is such an ace album.

The first REM album I bought was Out of Time. Absolute s*** cept for Losing My Religion IMO.

Yeah Out Of Time isn't that good (Tho I much prefer Country Feedback to Losing My Religion. Shiny Happy People is the only other song on there I really like).

Automatic For The People and New Adventures In Hi-Fi are their two best albums imo. Nearly perfect all the way through I reckon.

Would original Beatles vinyls be worth much these days or are they fairly common?

I have originals of both Abbey Road and White, not in great condition though.

You could prolly get a little bit for them, depends on the condition.

I think it depends on which ones they are and in what condition and where they were sold. If you have good condition rare release s*** that is signed it would be worth quite a bit.

How much for your abbey road original? :P

(does it work?)

Im sure I read somewhere that it actually is only Eric Clapton doing lead on While my Guitar Gently Weeps. Apparently Harrison couldnt cut it. Check Claptons super-thick Les Paul tone and wide vibrato on it. No way Harrison could pull off lead like that. Even John Lennon pulled a better lead than Harrison. (not pickin on dead guys but hes way over-rated)

John Lennon overrated? As a guitarist you mean?

they're my dads and I doubt he would let me sell them.

but yeah, they both work fine.

no Harrison dude

Song: Come Together
Album: Abbey Road

everyone knows paul and joh carried the beatles, george and ringo just made up for paul being such a wanker.

oh yeah, forgot to mention, "When I'm Sixty-Four" was our bridal dance at our wedding :)

yeah McCartney is 5 times the guitarist Harrison was.

edit: unless you like that sitar stuff :P

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

hey jude

'Any' Beatles song.

Interestingly I saw a Parkinson interview with Paul McCartney the other day where he said he never really considered that he wrote 'Yesterday' as he in fact dreamt it, in it entirity one night, got up the next morning and played it. He went on to say that in hidnsight it may have been caused by the death of his mother and that his subconscious in fact wrote it.

'Why she had to go I dont know she wouldn't say'

I guess its true, genius does just sometimes happen.

Lennon was brilliant & George Harrison was an awesome song writer as well.

I wonder how many of these so called s*** hot bands and performers of today will still have their music played and revered in 40 years.

:)

Paul is a wanker, John was the genious!

yeh John Lennon is the man.

Would original Beatles vinyls be worth much these days or are they fairly common?

Very common, like stick said, it would have to be a rare release to be worth anything at all as they were the most popular band in the world for their time and many people bought their records. Wait 50 more years though and it might be a different situation.

off topic, Yoko Ono wasnt very hot though, if john was looking, he could've done much better

http://www.freeholes.com/tna/np/ono-yoko/ono-y2.jpg <- nudie piccie of him & yoko

http://www.popculturetoday.com/lennonshirt/graphix/jandy-bw.jpg he kind of looks like harry potter in that piccie

Lennons 'Instant Karma' get me going...

bootleg vinyl of their days at the 'vault' or underground (whatever it was called) in Liverpool might be worth a few $$

p.s. many years ago I went to the spot in NY where Lennon was shot, people were still putting flowers there everday, apparently still do.

Cavern?

i saw (have on video) a full on documentary/movie about john lennon (called "imagine - john lennon")

its pretty cool, talks about when the band started, to his first devorce, kids, and even has a part in it where this guy sleeps in their gardens outside for afew days, and then they invite him in for breakfast, and johns like 'why are you sleeping in our garden man?'
guy: 'YOUR FAMOUS'
john: 'now youve met me, im just a normal guy!, want to have something to eat?'

and they have a chat then he leaves :D

edit: the movie goes all the way to his funeral

A guy I work with is from Liverpool, and last night he just sorta said in passing something about knowing the Beatles which I ignored as BS (this guy is in his 60's and talks exactly like Ringo Starr). But then this other guy I work with was like, "Wait a second, what do you mean you knew the Beatles?"

The old fella went on to say that they all lived really close together, and the kids that everyone looked up to included the Beatles, and he said he knew George and Ringo well enough for him to say hello to them, and they would say, "Hello Dennis" back. I was impressed.

im impressed, as long as his name was actually dennis.
