Vikinor Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Well, I just learned about The Beatles in school today. I have this music class where we learn about American popular music. It's a six week class and it's almost over, but I have learned a lot about the United States' history of music. Well anyway today I heard The Beatles and I actually listened to the music (I had heard it before, but never really listened) and I loved it instantly. So now I am curious. Are there any other Beatles fans here at LF?
Pie™ Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I hope you realize that The Beatles were a Liverpool band, therefore from the United Kingdom.

I hope you realize that The Beatles were a Liverpool band, therefore from the United Kingdom. They still had a very large impact on the music history in the US(besides, that's where they were introduced to certain mind enhancements...)
Vikinor Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Well they did get popular over here in the United States.
TheMadDoofer Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Oh dear, never purposely listended to The Beatles before? How old are you, and what music-devoid hole have you been in? But seriously, glad you like them-they rule.
Mike Windu Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 The Beatles are about as cool as My Chemical Romance... <3 beatles; let it be...
Acrylic Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 You JUST learned about the Beatles? Meaning you never heard them before? Meaning you've been missing out on some of the greatest music of all time? *tear for you*
El Sitherino Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 ... I can't think of any words to describe this horrendous crime. Anyway, yes. I love The Beatles.
ZBomber Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 How did you Aerosmith report go, Larz? Hope I helped you get a good grade The Beatles are awesome. I'm not ALWAYS in the mood for them, but 95% of the time, Beatles = Hell Yes.
-DK-Squee Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 The Beatles ROCK My favorite album is Abbey road. (Little known fact: "Abbey Road" was the last RECORDED album of The Beatles, not "Let it be", Let it be was just released in america a tad late) The White album is also awsome. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of the best songs The Beatles made, clearly George Harrison in his prime. But I cant pick favorites, everything Beatles is AWSOME
Vikinor Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Yup. We took class notes and titled them "The British Invasion." I have heard of them before, but I never really listened to their songs. And ZBomber I haven't given the presentation yet, but thanks to you I have more than enough information. And I even got a music sample for extra credit. I got their album "Toys in the Attic" from my dad.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps also had Eric Clapton on guitar, so that's why it's so kickass. Even though I think Something is a much better Harrison song. My all time favorite Beatles song has to be A Day in the Life on Sgt. Pepper's. Simply majestic, and Lennon's vocals are almost orgasmic.
Acrylic Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Since we're talking about our favorite Beatle's songs, I'd have to say "Cry Baby Cry" off of the White album. *cough*Lennon>McCartney*cough* I also really like "Girl", but it's not in my top favorites.
Konar Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Even though they're kinda fuddy duddy, Beatles music still sounds pretty sweet. *starts singing, "Oh Let it be, let it be...*
txa1265 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 It's funny ... when I was a kid there was a big thing that some famous kid (or kid of a famous person ...) who, when asked about the Beatles, answered "You mean Paul McCartney was in a band *before* Wings?" Of course, that was when Wings had tons of hits, so it must have been 74 or 75 ... Now if you mention Wings you get My brother was a much bigger Beatles fan than I, but my taste has always ranged a bit to the avante ... I like their mid-60's stuff like Rubber Soul & Revolver quite a bit, as well as a smattering of their later stuff. Still have some of it and some L&M solo stuff on my iPod. Mike
jon_hill987 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 What? no one has had the guts to say they don't yet? Well I don't like the beatles. I apprechiate that they were vey talented but it just ain't my thing.

ZBomber Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I have three Beatles CDs (Rubber Soul, Hard Days Night, One) and two vinyls (The Red and Blue Greatest Hit LPs).

Black Knight of Keno Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Meh... Yellow submarine, anyone? Of course I like them... I'ts only the thing that my dad was born bour 58 years ago, and so I've listened at least 13½ years for Beatles... I still have times when I need the songs to calm personal emotions, but otherwise, I'm sick of 'em... Sgt. Pepper's Lonely hearts club band! w00t! \o/
Vikinor Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 I like Yellow Submarine, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Come Together, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and Hey Jude. Those are the only ones I can name at the moment. Anyone know where you can find some of their albums?

Vikinor Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Record stores? You mean the big black circles that were before my time?
