That fact that we are discussing them 60 years after they hit the scene, and all 4 haven't recorded a note together since August of '69 I would say YES. I would rather listen to a 55 year old song than the c-rap out today. Does Beethoven and Mozart's music hold up? Another way to look at it, "IF two of them could come back from the dead, The 4 got back together and had a world tour, How many of those concerts would be sell out crowds and hit headlines every where? And that would be today, Not Yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I started playing sax, bass, flute, guitar, drums, and keys, later wind synth. Then I decided to learn how to sing, after all, finding a singer is the hardest part of starting a band. That's when I started to seriously listen to singers, how they get their expression, what nuances do they use and when, and how do they use dynamics. That's also when I started to appreciate Sinatra. After all, he was a singer from the past, not from my generation. Not only did he have great pipes, he worked hard at his craft, had great intonation (don't need no stinkin auto-tune), and knew when not to sing quite in tune for expression. He had very good diction, held out long notes well, and phrased his melodies excellently. I play 8 instruments, including vocals, and voice is absolutely the most difficult one I've ever learned. I don't have the pipes to be a great singer, but I've learned to be a decent singer. As I get older, I realize every generation had its share of excellent music and lousy music, including my own. Of course, that is my personal taste showing. What's lousy to me, might be just right for someone else. Will the Beatles hold up today? How about Elvis? Sinatra? Bobby Darin? Shirley Horn? Buddy Greco? Dusty Springfield? Donna Summer? Aretha Franklin? Buddy Holly? Otis Redding? Muddy Waters? Ella Fitzgerald? David Bowie? Prince? And really, does it matter?

We may assist a person who has a question, but that is about it, and most times the question is - what does my serial number mean, or how much is my LP worth even though I don't want to sell it, I just want to know?

merciful-evans Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I recently watched an interview with Giles Martin speaking of the Revolver remix. I know some clever processing went on. Who's got this? Is it very different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear more differences with the other ones, especially Pepper and The White Album. If you have your original it may not be necessary for the remixed Revolver.

Sadly, I never got to jam with any of the Beatles. 😞 nor did I ever have the slightest opportunity to do so.

There was Penny Lane and maybe A Day In The Life. That's all I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
