the beatles - Amnesiac posted:Saw Coolio opening at an ICP show in 2011ish on the Happy Daze tour. He was throwing all his clothes into the crowd, then did Gangsta Paradise with just his crazy hair and a sock, maybe some boxers. Wild mess. It's gotta be pretty odd being almost 60 and singing Gangsta Paradise unless he's drastically changed the words up... "I'm 57 now, will I see 58? The way things are going, yea probably..."

I don't listen to them. Their impact on music is important regardless of whether you listen to or even like them or not. Trying to create reasons why they are good or bad in 2020 is pretty stupid.

White Album's got a lot of gimmick songs that lose their novelty after a few plays and I don't see why that one has so much reverence among Beatles fans. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is amazing but it's in the same album as songs like Rocky Raccoon.

That remix album that mixed The White Album with Jay-Z's The Black Album was pretty fun, I listened to it a lot when I was a teenager. The Beatles are good. Has anyone read Tune In?

saint anime posted:i find a lot of those songs really loving annoying lol. The best thing about the white album is that everyone agrees that half of the album is great and the other half is gimmicky filler but nobody can ever decide on which songs make each category. Despite the fact that it's a megaselling album from the biggest band ever listening to it still feels like a somewhat intimate experience, like you're stumbling on all these deep cuts and hidden gems that that aren't as well-known in the public consciousness which makes it easier to take ownership of them. Feels like every time I spin that album I come out of it with a new fav song. Les Os posted:rocky raccoon owns bones and I’m gonna put forth that it is the best Beatles song not put out by the Rutles Case in point, this was one of the first beatles songs I liked as a kid after my friend did a lip sync to it at the school talent show when we were 10 years old. He was sandwiched in between a bunch of girls doing choreographed dances to trashy 90s hits and just came out in a cowboy hat and started doing this weird interpretive jig to some bizarre pseudo-Western tune. As it's not a song that gets a lot of plays or love in general it took me years to track down and identify it again, and I distinctly remember having a huge 'oh poo poo' moment the first time I listened to the white album and finally heard it in context. For most people RR is one of the most forgettable tracks on the album but for me it'll always be a powerful nostalgic reminder of my old childhood friend. pablo gbscobar fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Dec 12, 2020 |

beer gas canister posted:In My Life is the most overlooked stone classic in their catalog Easily one of their best and it's the only song that Lennon and McCartney couldn't agree on who wrote it, I guess it owns so hard they both want that credit. I Want You (She's so Heavy) is the genesis of metal.

Everything before is about par for the course of most other popular rock at the time, and everything after is fairly to extremely derivative. I always liked them more than the Beatles though

killer crane posted:It blows me away that they lasted only 8 years as a band, but went through such major stylistic changes. I have a hard time coming up with another musician that's been as prolific, and musically diverse, while still remaining relevant; even ones that have been around for multiple decades don't have their genre breaking albums well regarded. David Bowie, Parliament/Funkadelic maybe. I'm blanking Schlong Connery fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Dec 12, 2020 |

Waltzing Along posted:This isn't mentioned in that video, but just think of all the great songwriters different bans have had. And how if a band has a truly great songwriter they usually are pretty good. Well the Beatles had 2 of the best ever. No other band had more than 1 great one. Like, if you were to come up with the top 5 ever, Paul and John are probably in there. It is hard to argue that Paul isn't #1 of all time. That's all opinion and taste but you'll have a very hard time finding someone that a lot of people agree is better. Burt Bacharach, Smokey Robinson, that trio of Motown guys, Stevie Wonder, Bowie again, Bob Dylan, Carol King. honestly there's not a lot and I don't think I can make a super solid case that any of those are necessarily better.

I have a daughter who is a year and a half old, so we've been watching a show on Netflix called Beat Bugs. It is an animated children's cartoon where each 12-minute episode is structured around a Beatles song. The plot is generally a thin excuse for a reason for the bugs to sing Beatles songs. It is super weird and kinda fun. For example, in one episode the main character bugs are trying to help the littlest one fall asleep, who is having trouble with it. So they discuss that they'll go visit another bug named Lucy, the bug with kaleidoscope eyes, a glittery dragonfly who can help her get to sleep. In the course of this they sing the song, of course. The weird descriptions in the song is presented as like telling a story of imagination kinda deal. Singer P!nk performed as Lucy's singing voice. They have a stage built out of pennies they call Penny Lane, there's a strawberry field nearby, there's a big octopus sprinkler in the garden behind the big human's house... So, yeah, super weird.

Some songs get verses or lines trimmed out, though. When I'm 64 has a line about receiving a bottle of wine that the bugs don't sing, for example.

I recently watched a documentary on Harry Nilsson, and they were talking about the time he and John Lennon got thrown out of a Smothers Brothers concert for heckling. Then I wondered if the guy who shot John Lennon was just a big Smothers Brothers fan. Also judging by the documentary it looks like the Beatles were a really bad influence on Nilsson. Nilsson and Lennon would have competitions to see who could gently caress up their voice by screaming the longest. Ringo seemed like a fun guy though.

Yay I love The Beatles! My parents listened to them all the time when I was a kid and I didn't really feel one way or another about them then, but then I rediscovered their music in early high school and became a bit obsessed. George is my favorite, I was really sad when he died

I discovered the Beatles by accident via the game Earthbound, a game which fundamentally helped shape my musical tastes if not me as a person https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_oc9Ypcb2Q Listening to the Beatles as a teenager after having played Earthbound as an 11-12 year old came with a kind of pre-installed sense of nostalgia that allowed me to connect with them in a way that I think was absent from the vast majority of people my age, who nowadays seem to be mostly in a rush to tell you why the Beatles are Bad, Actually, and Were Never Good whenever they come up
