The Beatles

Actually John was not a bad person,people including his lover for a year and a half,May Pang and others who knew him well knew him as a caring sensitive guy for the most part,and he was just very mentally messed up for most of his life,because he had a lot of childhood and teen psychological traumas( his father left him when John was 3,he then showed up unexpectedly when John was 5 and asked him to chose to stay with him or John's mother Julia,Julia had given John away to her older sister to raise when John was only 5,and JOhn was raised by his aunt Mimi and her kind husband George,who was John's only father figure and he was very close to him,and when John was 12 he came home from a trip in Scotland and learned uncle George was dead,then his mother Julia(thats who the beautiful White Album song is about and who he named his first son Julian after) who he idolized got hit by a car and killed instantly by an off duty cop who was drunk right outside John's aunt's house when John was 17,and he was at his mother's boyfriend's house waiting for her and thats why he went to scream therapy with psychologist Dr.Arthur Janov in 1970,and if it wasn't for Yoko he never would have gone. He made his first brilliant solo album,The John Lennon Plastic Ono Band based on his therapy.

AS a young guy he became angry and got drunk a lot and he sometimes hit women and got into fist fights with men,but he said he later regretted it and he worked on himself and changed with Yoko's love and help.

He was sadly more together and happier towarRAB the end of his life before the crazy obsessed fan who had been a huge Beatles fan and John had been his favorite,killed him! And Imagine is rightfully generally considered a great beautiful song,with John's beautiful singing voice,pretty piano playing,beautiful melody and great lyrics with a great important message!
 
let's see...considering they have had numerous hits on the radio and mtv from issues and follow the leader alone, plus a few from their first two. I don't know or care what they put out after those, nor have i listened to the radio other than news/weather info in the past several years. why else would anyone even care about korn if it wasnt for their mainstream exposure.
 
geez the word "opinion" is like, in fashion now, in this thing. people are putting so much effort into wat they say, like takin up the whole page with a big speech about how they disagree or agree. anyway, i love the beatles, and i don a give fuk wat this guy thinks.
paul mccartneys bass lines were insanely complex and sounded great.
 
Okay, I know many people who throughly enjoy the Beatles and none of them like Rubber Soul. Of course it's all opinion, but I feel like Rubber Soul was in the exact same format as their previous work, only without the heart and ironically, soul. Revolver was when their work drastically changed, showing that they could go beyond pop and challenge musical borders.

Go ahead and enjoy the album, but I won't, nor will I think that this was when the Beatles began to change their musical format.
:hphones:
 
This is the intelligent comment you should have made earlier rather than the all inclusive "few beatles fans really like rubber soul", the comment is implying that you are aware of every Beatles fan's appreciations and thoughts - which as you might be aware of, is completely ludicrous.

I understand that you -feel- that Revolver is when they changed, but please provide examples. I provided a bevy of examples off the top of my head as to why Rubber Soul was THE transitional album and instead of replying to any of the aforementioned examples you just go on with your Revolver talk. So, why are my points nullified in this debate? And where are your examples. Again... anyone can make an unfounded statement, that doesn't mean it's correct.
 
I hate it when people say the Beatles were just the boy band of their time, most boy banRAB don't write songs like Helter Skelter, hell most boy banRAB don't even write their own songs. It unfair to compare any band that wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to Nsync or the Backstreet Boys regardless of what music they made. In fact, the only similarity I see between them and a boy band is the Beatles were all great singers.

Now onto the actual post, its the biggest pile of ignorant crap i've ever seen. The Beatles tons of the things, and possibly had the biggest influence ever, from The Elephant 6 Recording Company all the way to Elliott Smith. I don't understand how you could listen to the White Album and then make a post like this.

And to close this post i'd like to say two things, the Beatles pop era was fantastic and Help! is still one of my favorite albums and that the Beatles piss all over tool.
 
Difinetely not, The Who are just better, and aside from being better musicians and songwritiers, oh wait, never mind, the Stones have the blue jeans and wife beaters thing going on, they win this one.

The Stones just aren't THAT good musically, they are good, but calling them the greatest (or best) band of all time is simply pushing it, aside from being average musicians, their songs are just tidiously overlong.
 
It's not him it's his son.

Having actually listened to the album it's OK - it's definitely not as badly overproduced as Spector's work was. Still, it's more a curiosity than a proper new album - bit that won't stop me from buying it for my dad this Xmas.
 
In fact. Paul McCartney plays a mean lead guitar on TAXMAN.

"There's always been a lot of confusion over who played lead guitar on this, but Harrison set the record straight in his 1977 Crawdaddy interview: "I helped out such a lot in all the arrangements. There were a lot of tracks though where I played bass. Paul played lead guitar on 'Taxman,' and he played guitar-- a good part-- on 'Drive My Car." " - G.Harrison
