mjmooney Posted November 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2015 I couldn't name 20 Beatles songs, let alone rank themI could probably name every track on every album, plus singles and b-sides. [emoji4] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2015 Even if I could only name 10 (And that would be a stretch) I still wouldn't put Hey Jude in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2015 The Beatles are a weird band for me. Appreciate them as artists and like the odd track when I hear it, but just find them so boring when trying their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's because everyone since has tried to copy them, because they were trailblazers for pop. Their melodies are still "modern", they were the first to do things that are still used now and that's why they're so legendary/respected/popular.In NYC it's like they're still about, there's so much Beatles stuff in shops, the streets etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 There's a Beatles shop on Baker Street up that London.On the 2 or 3 occasions I've been passing, it's appeared to be rammed full of tourists buying postcards of John Lennon and little model mystery tour buses. On Oxford Street last week, every tourist tat shop had Beatles mirrors and yellow submarine clocks.Paul McCartney would turn in his grave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The way that certain young female singers, in what I can only guess is an attempt to be seen as 'alternative', sing the last word of a line in a song in a really, really weird way, putting on some sort of non-existent accent. For example, the way whoever it is sings "down" in the new John Lewis **** advert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I must have mentioned it before cause I'm still irritated by it but I held a door open for a women who acknowledged me by saying " I'm perfectly capable of opening my own doors"I genuinely have no idea how I'd react in that situation. I say that because I can't rule out blurting something along the lines of "oh well now that I know you're a word removed I won't do it the next time" and it would be completely reactionary.I know I've cited this example before in this thread but I used to work with a militant feminist who'd always sniffily remark "You don't have to open the door for me because I'm a woman". My response was always " No, I have to hold the door for you because I'm a gentleman and my parents brought me up to be polite"."Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were a man. I hold doors open for anyone." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like someone like Hendrix on the guitar with all his reverb etc. I don't think that makes them (among others of that era) any less pioneering, after all, they had to make those new sounds into a palatable song for people to purchase, and they were the best ever at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yeah I'd agree with that, it might be the Beatles that get the credit because it was stuff used by them when in reality it probably should go to the likes of George Martin, but my basic understanding is that the Beatles recording sessions pioneered a lot of stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 hmmm, I was going to write a line about the Beatles not really innovating much. A quick bit of online checking and it appears the first known piece of feedback used on a record was at the start of 1964's 'I feel fine'. Feedback on an electric guitar. Now that kicked off a whole lot of stuff from that point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2015 The best thing that ever happened the Beatles' careers was the Buddy Holly plane crash, because he was about to change music (indeed he had started already) in the way that many claim the Beatles did years later.
