So just for shits n grins what is your favorite Beatles song?
I've been trying to pick one...there are several I really like.... Fixing a hole always took me to some bizarre place.(very cool tune) ..Nowhere man, For no one, A day in the life...oh shit the more I think the blurrier it gets...cause I do dig me some early stuff too! ( She loves you , when I saw her standing there...you got to hide your love away ...But I think they are more from being emotionally connected than looking at it as a musician... I started studying / paying attention to songwriting @ 1968..so it's all their later stuff that impress's me on that side....
Elanor Rigby is pretty bad ass....
OK I'll go with Strawberry Fields as #1 for me.....with A day in the life, For no one, Fixing a hole, Norwegian wood, Nowhere man, Help, Elanor Rigby, Twist and Shout and Yesterday in my top 10...man I had to leave a lot of other favs out but I narrowed it down to 10
Come together...dang

Martha my Dear is a bad ass tune....For the longest time I was more a McCartney fan than Lennon fan, Loved his first solo album....McCartney...maybe I'm amazed Junk...dang! and this was strictly from a song writing perspective but as I got a hold of some of those bootleg recordings of recording sessions and jams I got a whole new love and respect for John...dude was amazing and whack....
Only us old die hards know of this one on the backside of the 45 of Let it be....But I can't find a real version of it to post anywhere on the interents... just funky covers....that Crazy

HA! I frickin finally found a copy out on the internets........I am going to guess most of ya's have never heard this one...John having a most excellent good time ......This is the whacky genius of senore' Lennon....
Cool Daddyo!
YOU KNOW MY NAME!
In searching for this damn song I found treasure of old MP3's I have of bootleg studio tapes.......Provides you with a wholle different way more earthly human view of the boys...but also makes you realize maybe they weren't human after all....hmmmmm?
It's really hard for me to pick a favourite, but I always really liked "I am the Walrus"
Alan.
I'll never forget listening to that whole album for the first time......this band was not of this earth....That dream state part right before sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun......wow.....smoke pot smoke pot everybody smoke pot...
OK OK I'll smoke some pot! Sheeesh!
What it meant when they were first becoming big is lost, and so I suppose Cardio has a point when he says "you had to be there". If he means what it felt like to be a part of something new, hearing it for the first time as everyone else did, in that time period, with those current events and capabilities/options in music, then yes, I can understand that.
I was a little disappointed with the video. Moved to quickly, and not in depth enough.
I remember when the anthology came out, there were lots of cool liner noted about how songs were recorded.
It just shows you that you can't underestimate the contribution of George Martin. Even when the boys themselves got creative with production, they were using tools and techniques that they learned from him.
