Beatles Best Era?

by **lonelymoon** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:02 pm

Do you prefer the Beatles before '67, or is your preference post-'67?
Please consider the changes in the appearance, sound, and ideological thrust of this ground-breaking British pop quartet.

I prefer the Beatles celebrated "Milk the Consumer" Era of 1982 - Present in which they repackage their greatest hits with a newly discovered unfinished out-take that was too crappy for consumption in the sixties and re-sell it to the same warmed-over hippie fans for the twentieth time.

well, I guess that's a vote for post '67, although it completely ignores and overrides the stated criteria of their look, sound, ideological thrust, footwear, drugs of choice, etc.

If you really want to punish yourself try listening to Paul McCartney's "Red Rose Speedway" or John Lennon's "Two Virgins."

irrelevant. neither record was by the Beatles. They would have never made album covers like that. Think about it: on one John has his dick hanging out and on the other Paul has a big red rose stuck in his mouth. I mean, what were these guys trying to tell each other??

breaking up is hard to do...

What you talk about, Buzzboy?

Medley on "Red Rose Speedway" every bit as good as "Abbey Road" medley.
Bring tear to Hulk's eye when Hulk hear "Hands of Love."

Ah the Beatles...the group your parents did the twist to....

Revolver. Best album.

White Album Worst.

Best thing the Beatles ever did:
1)Make Richard Lester rich and famous.
2) Get the Stones on AM radio in the US.
3) Break up.

Worst Thing the Beatles did:
1) Make rock a business run by weasely lawyers and accountants
2) make Yoko Ono famous
3) Make Linda McCartney famous
4) Make old british ditties sound hip

Sergeant Pepper. No contest.

I'm not really a Beatles fan, but I really like some of the songs done between mid-65 to the end of '67. Songs like Norweigan Wood, Tomorrow Never Knows, Eleanor Sickby ,most of the stuff on Sgt peppers and Revolver.

After '67 they seem full of them selves, with only a few real good songs.

Is Julian the only musican-son of the Fab Four to carry on the tradition?

I think that's fairly awesome.

Paul, George and Ringo. Then there was John.

I really love the era between A Hard Day's Night and Rubber Soul; so '64 and 65', to me, is the best. I think that their best music came after meeting Bob Dylan and before they started dropping acid.

I really enjoyed the Anthologies that came out a few years ago. There were a few songs like "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", that were recorded in truly awesome contexts and gave me a whole new appreciation fpr what they were doing in the studio.

My belief is that the one true great calamity for the Beatles was the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Had he not passed on they most certainly would have contributed solid, Beatle material for many more years.

Dylan turned the Beatles on to marajuana-

I'd like to reunite the beatles.

Now I just need a gun and two bullets.

I liked when they were all hooked on heroin, I'm sorry that was the stones.

Shouldn't this be in the entertainment forum lonely?
