I'm going to start getting into the Beatles, and I was wondering, what are some good songs?
Thanks.
- Ignis Fatuus - 08-20-2004 09:13 PM
ummm... what? I'm very upset with the decision you have made.
- FishBowlWYWH - 08-20-2004 09:13 PM

Yes.. my friend gave me a disk to put in my computer.. she said it was every Beatles song ever made, so FantasticFloyd said : ok, thanks dude.
(FantasticFloyd throws it in closet one she gets home)
Next day.
Ash: Listen to that c.d yet?
FantasticFloyd: Oh.. um, yeah. Lovely.
Ash: You didn't listen to it, did you?
FantasticFloyd: Um, not really.
She's a Beatles Freak, I'm a Floydian Finnatic. Actually, I think my first post here was actually a poll because we were having some debate and needed some votes from anothere source. Now, seeing polls similar to that, I know why everyone gets mad. They're rubbish.
- forksinatoaster - 08-20-2004 09:55 PM
I have been listening to more beatles lately too.
My favorites:
Maxwell's silver hammer
O bla di bla da
I want you
octopus garden
Yellow submarine (I'm a sucker for ringo)
Piggies
Mean Mr Mustard seed (or whatever the title is)

a very good beatles site
Beatles is probably my second or third fav band, rivaling(sp?) with Led Zeppelin. Pink Floyd is of course my number one favorite.
- Space Cadet - 08-21-2004 12:23 AM
There are so many bands, I can't pick favorites. After Pink Floyd, which is number one, the rest are number two.. and that's that.
- Zep Fan - 08-21-2004 12:25 AM
Almost all of their latter songs and some early songs are amazing.
Get these albums:
Help!
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt. Pepper's
Magical Mystery Tour
The White Album
Abbey Road
Let it Be
- Space Cadet - 08-21-2004 12:40 AM
Meh. I have them all and don't really care for much of them. Sure, the Beatles are great and all, but when it comes down to comparing Pink Floyd and the Beatles, there is only one option, in my mind.
- simps - 08-21-2004 02:51 AM
As a lifelong (though on-and-off for the last 6 or 7 years) Beatles listener I can recommend the 'Red' and 'Blue' double LPs as the ideal entry point for a newcomer to Beatles purchases. That's how I first got into them. These excellent compilations have great variety of works penned by John, Paul, George (and even 1 or 2 by Ringo). The red one is called Beatles 1962-66 and the blue one is called Beatles 1967-70.
- Bar - 08-21-2004 02:52 AM
Well, I think Sgt. Pepper's and Revolver are highly overrated but I still enjoy Abbey Road.
- Seamus - 08-21-2004 02:56 AM
I like The Beatles but they are the most overrated band. Sure they were one of the first groups to ever roam the earth but definitely not the first and their stuff didn't come from nowhere (as it's been made to believe) but from people like Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, etc...
I absolutely hate their teenybop stuff so can't listen to anything they put out before 1966 without cringing. From that year on, and except lame songs like Yellow Submarine and some from the Magical Mystery tour the rest is ok. I've never dug Let It Be too much though. Some of the tracks on it are weak.
Said this, my list would be something like this:
-Revolution.
-Get Back.
-Come together.
-While my guitar gently weeps.
-Back in the USSR.
-Yer Blues.
-Most of the Sergeant Peppers album.

The Beatles ARE extremely overrated. Sure, they might have a few good hits but I wouldn't quite say they're THE BEST, or even qualify in that competion.
- Oobleck42 - 08-21-2004 08:31 AM
You really can't go wrong with any Beatles purchase but I would recommend starting with Revolver.

- Seamus - 08-21-2004 11:28 PM
Not sure if this fits in but here it goes.
Cassually last night in the club there was a band playing only Beatles covers (All Together Band they're called) and these are some of the tunes they played - I don't recall all of them.
-Back in the USSR.
-Drive my car.
-Help.
-Love me do (YUCKKKK!!!)
-Get back.
-If I needed someone.
-Lady Madonna.
-Twist and shout.
-Be Bop a lula.
-Come together.
-Here comes the sun.
-Helter skelter.
As they didn't have a keyboard player a few certain songs were omitted (Let it be, etc...). Not that I care a lot since the band that play all Saturdays but August's normally perform it.

- Pink Prism - 08-23-2004 06:04 AM
John Lennon and Harrisson were amazing.
I love White album, some Srgt. Pepper and some Abbey Road.
Day in life is one of the best song ever. And Strawberry fields.
- simps - 08-23-2004 07:56 AM
Everything about the Strawberry Fields Forever recording is truly masterful.
- Zep Fan - 08-23-2004 08:25 AM
Strawberry Fields is overrated. They have much better songs. It's not even the best on Magical Mystery Tour; Hello Goodbye, I Am the Walus, All You Need is Love, Penny Lane, Magical Mystery Tour, Baby You're a Rich Man, and the Fool on the Hill are much better.

To answer the confused member's question, backwards messages are usually short sound clips, often containing speech, that can only be heard by manually spinning a vinyl record backwards under the stylus when it is over the correct point at approximately the correct playback speed e.g. 33&1/3rpm or 45rpm. A famous example is one contained on The Wall, which tells listeners to write to 'Old Pink' (Syd).
- Skeid - 08-25-2004 11:02 AM
Get Abby Road, Help, St. Pepper's, Let It Be and Yellow Submarine. That covers a lot.
Some really good songs:
Let It Be
Yesterday;P
Lucy's in the sky with diamonds
Penny Lane
All You Need Is Love (so true!)
And all the early clasics: She Loves You, From Me To You etc
.

What about the 1 CD? It has a pretty good selection. All their number ones. But it doesn't have I Am the Walrus and A Day in the Life which are two of the best songs ever. Anyway, I'd bet a million bucks there's a radio station in your area that plays a Breakfast With the Beatles or something similiar. There you can hear TONS of Beatle songs for free.(LA area it's kroq 97.1) Or just turn on the radio and switch around a bit. You can't go 10 minutes without hearing a Beatle song somewhere. They're everywhere.

I was put off it at the age of 10 having to sing it every other week as a class. My class had an hour a week, I think last thing on a Friday, where our teacher would get out his acoustic and we would each get a book with various songs in, (Yellow Submarine, My Old Man Said Follow The Van, Old Iron, Lilly the Pink, When The Saints Go Marching In, etc.), and proceed to butcher them. From that point, Yellow Submarine along with a couple of other Beatles songs have been disliked by me for the wrong reasons.

Question. There is a song I like, don't know who it is but I think it MAY be the Beatles. Vocals are soft, and I can recall a few words. I heard "Romeo and Juliet" and that's about all. Beginning is a guitar part only. Like..

RE: The Beatles! - Three Different Ones - 12-20-2008 02:58 PM
Bump, because the Beatles need more love..and I'm listening to Revolver..god "I'm Only Sleeping" is an amazing song..
RE: The Beatles! - Wings on the Pig - 12-20-2008 03:07 PM
It certainly is. Possibly my favourite on that record.
RE: The Beatles! - Three Different Ones - 12-20-2008 03:09 PM
Yeah, this record is ffucking amazing. I think it's, to me, the one that John and Paul were pretty much even in the number of classic songs they had, not to mention, some great arrangements (Eleanor Rigby, anyone) and some awesome vocals (Eleanor Rigby, She Said She Said, I'm Only Sleeping, Here, There and Everywhere)
This album is just so all over the place..I honestly love every song on here..
RE: The Beatles! - MacPhisto - 12-20-2008 03:11 PM
Revolver is an amazing album, and is still my favourite album of all time.
Which reminds me, I haven't listened to it in a while. Might go put it on.
RE: The Beatles! - Wings on the Pig - 12-20-2008 03:11 PM
Tomorrow Never Knows is also one of my favourites - you just know you are listening to something special. That drumbeat is so bloody addictive, it's one of those songs that you just can't turn off.

That's one of my favorites on there..my god..I love everything going on during that song..the tape loops, the backwards guitar solo..and John's voice through the Leslie Speaker is just awesome..that song is out of this world
I'm on "For No One" at the moment..this song took a while for me to love..before I 'liked' it, but yeah, I've warmed up to the song a lot..such a sad song
RE: The Beatles! - Three Different Ones - 12-20-2008 03:20 PM
"Got to Get You Into My Life" - Another great song..I love the brass section (i believe) and the vocals, but the lyrics always make me smile..I love how cleverly they're written.
edit: Tomorrow Never Knows time..
RE: The Beatles! - Three Different Ones - 12-20-2008 03:27 PM
Triple post: Tomorrow Never Knows..where to start with this song..it's like..you're someplace else when you're listening to it..I can't really explain it..it's just amazing. I forgot how great the tape loops are in there, credit to Paul and the other Beatles, plus probably George Martin..Also, I love the backwards guitar solo from 'Taxman'..the way it's put in there, between the verses ends up sounding so awesome. Also, John's voice just sends chiils down my spine..
RE: The Beatles! - Some Other Jackass - 12-25-2008 01:12 PM
The first Christmas since I do not know when that I did not receive something Beatles related as a gift.
I have been playing The Yellow Submarine Songtrack and a Beatles for babies compilation I made and listening with my son and daughter a lot recently.
He is three and he really is catching on and remembering words to the songs. He sings along with "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love" often times.
Beatles '65 has been in my disc player for the last two weeks.
RE: The Beatles! - OlgaHH - 12-26-2008 06:35 AM
I love Beatles and I think it's one of the best and influencing groups in the world.
My favourite album is Let it be. I love Beatles' songs The long and winding road, Let it be, I'm only sleeping, Love you to, Come together, Love me do, Rock'n'Roll music, Help, You've got to hide your love away (I think it's much better than "Yesterday"). I like all of members of the group, but by appearance I like most of all Ringo Starr. By talant... no doubt it's John Lennon.
I watched two films with B. - "Help" and "A hard day's night". I like both of them. I'll never forget my impression from the song "You've got to...", moments when Lennon is in the piano (what good guy he was!) in "Help", group's performance in "A hard day's night" (B. had the most crazy fans!).
I can't say I'm a fan of them (this passion has not long time, because PF has appeared in my life), but I like this group. That's a pity that the group isn't working. I was dissapointed when I had read about reasons for breaking up the group.

I remember I butting heads with Gluk about merits of The Beatles - and I admit I was wrong back then. That was when I was still halfway to my place in B fandom
Their best albums are Revolver (1), Abbey Road (2) and Rubber Soul/The White Album (3)
Sgt Pepper is still just average though!

Maybe I'm a fool but I don't like Rubber soul. I like only Drive my car, but it's not my favourite song of TB.
RE: The Beatles! - Wings on the Pig - 12-27-2008 05:05 AM
I think Rubber Soul is probably my least favourite out of wonderful five albums (Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, The Beatles and Revolver are the others) but it is still fantastic none the less, and very influential. Norwegian Wood is a lovely tune . . .
RE: The Beatles! - MacPhisto - 12-27-2008 12:07 PM
Why doesn't anyone have any love for Let it Be? I think it's a wonderful album, even if they lost interest in it halfway through and Spector bastardized some of it.
RE: The Beatles! - Xardie - 12-27-2008 12:17 PM
Because songwriting is weak? Title track, Get Back and Across the Universe are great. Two of Us and I've got a feeling are good but rest of the album is quite trite. (Naked version of Long and Winding Road is great too)
Main problem is simply songwriting. The Beatles did great "back to the roots" rock when they were back at their roots e.g I Saw Her Standing There - song like Dig A Pony certainly don't hold up against such early Beatles tracks.
It's like C-class version of early Beatles rockers.
Still, Let It Be has its charms in form of those hilarious snippets and couple of awesome tracks
RE: The Beatles! - MacPhisto - 12-27-2008 12:24 PM
What about For You Blue? That's a great Harrison track. I actually think Let it Be is the band's most underrated album, next to Beatles for Sale, anyway.
RE: The Beatles! - pinklit - 12-27-2008 01:04 PM
When I was young, many years/eons ago they played the Beatles Christmas messages on the radio every year at Christmas time. Those guys were such a fun group, not just musically, but socially. They had to be having a blast. I was in awe at their wit. SO clever. I wish I could hang with them for awhile.

Rebump for those who are interested.
I was just realizing the other day that Magical Mystery Tour was possibly the last album recorded by The Beatles which had true cooperation between the members and Lennon and McCartney. I don't think any of the songs written and recorded for The Beatles, Let It Be and Abbey Road apart from "I've Got A Feeling" and "The End" bear much if any mutual contributions with Paul and John in particular. They simply stopped collaborating as a band and instead increased their impatience, jealousy and distain.
After the break up, Ringo was the only member to collaborate with all the other former band mates (seperately) if I am not mistaken.
I have been listening to McCartney's Tug Of War a lot lately and with Paul's emotional "Here Today" and Ringo playing drums on the record it sort of slowly lead me to remember this thoughts on The Beatles.
You may now all go back to texting your friends and other diversions.

That was harsh
Thanks for all our information, I listen a lot to The Beatles but I certainly haven't bothered myself to read the biographies of the members nor the whole band so..

Wow 5 year old topic.
Anyway, as for "what are the Beatles' best songs?"
All of them really. Listen to all the albums, all the Anthologies. For bootlegs, go with REALLY early stuff, like Hamburg.
Everything is top notch, beginning to end. Two of my best friends are also Beatles fans, but one ONLY likes the early stuff (pre-Revolver), and one ONLY likes the later (post-Revolver)stuff. Me, I like it ALL.

Yeah. Pretty much every single song they put out was pure magic.
Except Mr. Moonlight, of course.
RE: The Beatles! - Wings on the Pig - 04-08-2009 01:35 AM
I quite like Mr. Moonlight. Great harmonies.
RE: The Beatles! - MacPhisto - 04-08-2009 01:47 AM
And it's actually an okay song! It certainly says a lot about the band, when their absolute worst song ever is actually pretty good.
RE: The Beatles! - Wings on the Pig - 04-08-2009 01:59 AM
Definitely. I've been getting into Dig a Pony a lot recently - that is a phenomenal song too!

I have always really disliked how some of the song "She's Leaving Home" really slows down the album and consider it one of the least liked songs by me. But some of the chorus is at the same time what I like and dislike about the song.
I do not care for the falsetto singing from Paul as he sings,
"She
We gave her most of our lives
is leaving
sacrificed most of our lives
home
We gave her everything money could buy"
But the way they sort of stagger the lines and singing I do like especially near the song's end when they trick us with the
"She
What did we do that was wrong
is having
We didn't know it was wrong
fun
Fun is the one thing that money can't buy"
It's a sad song but at the end we tell ourselves that finally she is out in the world and should be just fine.
Just when you have gotten use to ignoring a song, sometimes for some reason we listen to it one more time without passing it over and we hear things in a different tone. I'm not suggesting that the music of The Beatles is the only magical music but still after so many years and so many listens, we sometimes are in a mood to hear it and find new connections.
Incidentally, they have remaster and digitized to stereo all of the groups British catalog but still have not reached agreements with iTunes.
Say what you want about releasing and rereleasing their stuff, I think a lot of younger people will benefit from yet another opportunity for exposure to the music in all it's capitalistic glory.
They are set to release the original U.K. 12 plus the adopted Magical Mystery Tour as a compact disc collection in addition to using the remasters in a video game Guitar Hero/Rock Band Beatles version and I am sure ultimately coming to terms for release as downloads.

Some fun stuff here but I kind of wish Craig would straighten out Shabby Road.
Now go buy his book.

I want to tell you something interesting and funny about The Beatles. In one Russian town, Magnitogorsk, in one of the theatres there is one performance goes on as "sold-out" notice. What do you think? It is performance about The Beatles! The plot is based on story of this band, of course, with some part of fantasy. The most interesting thing is that performance is for persons not less older than 16! ("Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, you know...", - as says the director of this show.)
