The Beatles

i have to say honestly that the beatles are my 3rd favorite band
1st: Zeppelin
2nd: Pink Floyd
3rd: the Beatles
4th: the Who

I really like the beatles but i don't think they are the greatest band of all time. I really do love them.
 
No, Instant Karma is not on the white album.
even if it was, it still wouldn't save it.
A collection of lame songs. two or three ok ones
at best.
Savoy Truffle, Honey Pie, Piggies? WTF.

The Beatles didn't do Instant Karma,
It was released on a John Lennon solo lp
(Shaved Fish) in 1975
 
Image isn't important to music.

I like some of the beatles stuff, like hide your love away & blackbird mainly the acoustic tracks.
 
The beatles got me into alot of good music like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I don't know how they got me into them I just started to appreciate them more after I listened to the beatles.
 
um, well how about making a coherant point rather than some dim-witted comment. 'burn' the counter argument to the ground. Lennon and McCartney stated publicly that their songwriting partnership had ended before Ed Sullivenm therefore, before 'Beatlemania', which is the point I was countering. Apparently John Lennon and Paul McCartney's own worRAB have been 'burned to the ground' by some 12 year old on a net forum, yah?

i recently bought 'let it be', 'magical mystery tour', 'help' and 'please please me.'
all insanely amazing, totally the best music i've heard in a long time. go ahead and post- juan
 
Revolver was one of the first albums I ever listened to in full my mom had a cassette that was a copy of cd. [I kind of wish I lived in the time of tape sharing rather file sharing, it just sounRAB like fun] I listened to it over and over again and it'd be my favorite.
 
:nono: As I already pointed out,Paul plays great lead guitar on Ticket To Ride,as well as on Another Girl and Taxman as well as the great bass, and it's actually Paul and George on lead guitars on Fixing A Hole,and he plays every instrument by himself on his first very good solo album McCartney in late 1969 when he was only 27,and he played *so* many insstruments great! Paul and Denny Lain are the only musicians on Paul and Wings great 1973 rock album Band On The Run and Paul played bass,piano,lead and accoustic guitars and drums! Then he played every instrument again on McCartney 2 in 1979,and he plays most of the instruments on his 1997 Flaming Pie album,and his two most recent solo albums,Chaos and Creation In The Backyard and Memory Almost Full.


John Lennon plays most of the great lead guitar on his great hard rocker I Want You She's So Heavy,and he played lead for the first time on his great 1964 rocker You Can't Do That, and only John and Paul play all of the instruments on The Ballad Of John and Yoko and John is on lead guitar,and as Ken on Keno's Classic Rock n Roll site he says, John showed on Get Back why he should have played lead guitar more often because he did such a good job,and Ken also says that John played one of he first and best acid guitar parts on the great 1968 hard rocking single Revolution,and he said John also played a very good slide guitar on George's For Your Blue.

Ken runs a Rolling Stones and a John Lennon fan site,and he voted Paul McCartney #2 Greatest Rock Bass Player after John Enwistle and the fans voted Paul # 3. Ken voted John Lennon # 2 Greatest Rock Rhythm Guitar player after Keith RicharRAB and the fans have John in a tie at # 4 with Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones.He voted John Lennon # 2 in a tie with Elvis as Greatest Rock Male Vocalist,and Paul # 6,the fans voted John # 1 and Paul # 7. And he voted John and Paul # 2 greatest rock song writers after Bob Dylan and the fans voted John and Paul # 1.

And on Rankopedia The Beatles are # 1 Greatest Rock Artists,# 1 Greatest Rock Group,# 1 Most Innovative Rock Group,and Paul and John # 1 Greatest Rock Song Writers and are also on the Greatest Rock Vocalists list and Paul McCartney is # 2 Greatest Rock Bass Player after John Entwistle John Paul Jones is # 6. And Digital Dreamdoor where many musicians post,The Beatles are # 1 Greatest Rock Artists,John and Paul are # 1 Greatest Rock Song Writers,George Harrison is # 55 out of over 100 Greatest Rock Guitarists,John and Paul are both on The Greatest Rock Male Vocalists,and Paul Mcartney is # 8 out over 100 Greatest Rock Bass Players John Paul Jones is # 21 and Bill Wynman is # 95 Ringo Star is # 47 out over 100 Greatest Rock Drummers Charlie Watts is # 53 ! Bass Player Magazine recently voted Paul # 5 Greatest Bass Player ever and # 2 Greatest creator of creative and best rock bass lines!

Eric Clapton says in an online interview called,Eric Clapton In His Own WorRAB,that John Lennon was a pretty good guitar player and he would have known since he played live in concert with John as a meraber of John's 1969 Plastic Ono Band. And on an excellent site called,The Evolution Of Rock Bass Playing McCartney Style by Dennis Alstrand,Stanley Clarke,Will Lee,Sting,Billy Sheehan,George Martin and John Lennon are all quoted as saying what a great ,melodic and influential bass player Paul has always been.And The 1992 Rolling Stone Album Guide calls Paul a remarkable bass player and rightfully calls John and Paul the two greatest song writers in rock history.

Musician and song writer Peter Cross also says how John,Paul and George were all grerat guitarists,and that The Beatles are the most creative band with the largest amount of great quality,innovative songs and albums and in such a short time,and he said he as well as many other musicians consider Paul McCartney to be one of the best bass players ever! Wilkco's bassist John Stirratt says the same thing about Paul McCartney when he was asked in a 2005 Bass Player Magazine interview what bass player has had the most impact on your playing the most! Peter Cross also praises Ringo's drumming and said that John Lennon was right when he said Ringo has the best back beat in rock.
 
Remeraber the purpose of sixty four and the recent irony of him being divorced at said age.

Question:
"Will you steal need me, will you still feed me?"

Answer:
"No I'll be taking an eight figure sum of your Beatles money instead."

Also I believe that song was written so the Liverpudlians had something to play in case of equipment failures.

Either way I like Peppers better then Rubber Soul and I think that addresses a point you made. Music is very personal and even a Band you love makes music you're less enthusiastic about from time to time regardless of how the majority views it.
 
^ no I'd agree, they didn't start anything new but they did make it more mainstream, and the beatles at least created a lot of things that were built on by artists who came later on. I'm not doubting their talent in the least, my first post makes that more than apparent, but I am saying that both seem to have a following of listeners that don't really value them for their talent, but because these banRAB have a sort of cult following built up after their huge success.
 
I'll put my fav albums in order

Revolver
Sgt. Pepper's
Abbey Road
Let it Be
The White Album
Magical Mystery Tour
Help!
A Hard Day's Night
With the Beatles
Please Please Me
Rubber Soul
Beatles for Sale

What's with all the Let it Be bashing? And for some reason people say Across the Universe is the saving grace? The title song is one of the greatest songs ever, not to mention just from the Beatles. Get Back, Dig a Pony, and The Long and Winding Road are great songs. Just watch the rooftop concert.

I think Beatles for Sale is their worst, I can't really listen to any of the songs without changing to another album.

And if anyone puts Rubber Soul I'm right there with you. Has a few decent ones but mostly disappointing.

Also, even though I really like Magical Mystery Tour, I thought quite a few people really don't like it. Or they don't know it exists.
