Favourite Beatles Song.???


fretplay

Recommended Posts

Rubber Soul, and beyond showed their musical maturing, and experimentation, now doubt! [thumbup]

 

However, IF you were fortunate enough, to grow up with their music, from the

beginning, even the early stuff ("Bubble Gum" as some of it might seem) was just

outstanding! I remember the first time I head "that chord" for "A Hard Day's

Night," or the opening riffs, for "I Feel Fine," and Day Tripper, Paperback

Writer, etc., etc., etc.! Got "goose bumps" then, still do! Their songs put

a smile on my face, then...and, they still do that, too! [thumbup][biggrin]

Beatles music is "Timeless!"

For me it is the complexity under the simplicity of Penny Lane and/or Hello, Goodbye. They fill the headphones but have plenty of air in there allowing you to hear all around each instrument. So it's a tie for me. Three way tie, yeah, Day In The Life, can't forget that one.

I just logged on and saw the last post was posted....yesterday (almost midnight CA time, way past midnight everywhere else [except certain parts of the pacific including Hawaii]).

 

And I thought, wow, maybe that's it. Not my favorite but what a great opportunity.

[thumbup] On That notion. I did grow up listening to the Beatles, remember as a kid being in my upstairs bedroom building plastic AMT model car kit and listening to the SW & AM big console radio (w/ turntable in the middle). As I started to get older (about 40) I gravitated away from the White Album on days and back the other direction (when the drug sound started to get heavier in their work). Just me, but I'm with CB on the really old stuff, it WAS rock 'n roll "and I like it!"

Beautiful work!! I can't even do 6 strings right let alone that fat neck rig full of strings!!! [biggrin]

 

How he do that?

Hello Aster!

 

I have no idea either. I am very curious about this instrument. Unfortunately, we haven't got one in shops here. It must have very sensitive pickups, otherwise it would be really painful to make it sound.

 

Cheers... Bence

Like you, I grew up listening to The Beatles. I was 14 in 1963, the first time I heard them.... COMPLETELY blown away!

 

And was amazed with each album on their maturity as musicians.

 

They truly were greater than the sum of their parts.... Paul needs John to not be so "bubblegum", and John needed Paul to not be so dark.

 

George lent a mystique and musicianship the others couldn't.

i'm another one that loves Lennons vocal on "This Boy", just fantastic. I love everything Beatles. I was 4 when they were on Sullivan, I heard them as I grew up... they are the soundtrack of my life. It's way past being a fan for me. They're part of my DNA ...

I had to google this guy. Never heard of him before.

Thanks for sharing Bence [thumbup]

 

Robert Culbertson. Check him out on youtube.

Looks like he's been playing the stick as long as it's been around.

I sure don't get out much.

 

 

No hijack intended but since it's a Beatles thread.

Some interesting replies guys. Quite a few of you said 'Rubber Soul' for a favorite album which has 'In my Life' on it and 'In my Life' was the choice of the BBC Radio London listeners. It certainly surprised me as a a Londoner. Only Zigzag got it right and he is in USA, well done sir!

I like the 'individual' ones...

 

Paul...Hello Goodbye, Lady Madonna, Mother Nature's Son, The Fool on the Hill

 

John...Dear Prudence, I Dig a Pony, Hey Bulldog

 

George...Here Comes the Sun, Something, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Savoy Truffle

 

Ringo...Don't Pass me By....

 

And all the others too... :blink:
