There doesn't seem to be a Beatles thread, which is wrong because they are probably the best popular music group of all time. Anyway, so post the Beatles song you are currently listening to or tell us what you like or whatever Beatles related.

Anything off of Revolver or Abby Road (my two favourites)....but currently listening to:

My absolute favourite band of all time, and likely will always be. :) I know all of their songs, and the only one that's a bit grating is Revolution # 9. A bit too avante garde, for me. :)
I like their vaudeville play-song, ''Honey Pie''. I also love ''Mother Nature's Son'', ''Dear Prudence'', ''Sexy Sadie''.. Well, those are all from the White Album, so.. That is definitely my top favourite album, along with Let It Be, Revolver and Abbey Road.
I'd definitely have to draw attention to, ''Long, Long, Long'' by George Harrison though. That song should get a lot more credit than it does. It's so fragile, and beautiful.

While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun, and their old poppy number She Loves You. Picking favourite Beatles songs is like picking favourite flavours of ice cream - they're pretty much all amazing. Yes, The Beatles were a great band. Almost as great as The Rolling Stones.
I'm not familiar with that one. Probably doesn't sound much like Rammstein's "Ich Will."Quote:

A Day in the Life.

Across the Universe written by Lennon.

Rubber Soul and Revolver are my favorite albums, Norwegian Wood is one of their best songs I think.

what about your favorite Beatle, everybody I know has a favorite member!?
Ringo has always been my favorite.
Norwegian Wood is one of their best songs, I agree. Unfortunately, apart from that and Michelle, I find Rubber Soul a bit disappointing (what goes on is an alright song).Quote:

Nowhere Man. The song is one of the turning points to a late 60's sound, from their early 60's sound. Rubber Soul album.

Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight
Brilliant song, not as well know as it should be.

The entire B side of Abby Road can be enjoyed as one long amazing song. The way it flows together is something not heard before in the Beatles.Quote:

Let it Be. Paul is my favorite.

I think the Beatles did all they could in the time they did it. They were no longer a functioning band the last year or so. So I don't think they had anything left in them. They broke up at the right time. As for the music they gave us, time has been a good judge and they passed the audition.Quote:

I like this one too:
Happiness is a Warm Gun
Bang-Bang Shoot-Shoot
But deep down, I prefer The Stones - just some good ole, bluesy, roadhouse, ROCK-N-ROLL!

I Love You, etc, etc. etc. I hated those Beatles, and I still do. It wasn't until later in my life, late teens or so, that I got exposed to the Revolver/Sgt. Pepper's/Abby Road Beatles. And those Beatles are INFINITELY superior to the early Beatles in my opinion, and I suspect in theirs as well. I know it to be so in John Lennon's case, as I have seen numerous interviews with him from the late 60's-early 70's where he dismissed the early Beatles work as something he was beyond. I have never heard Paul McCartney express that sentiment, but I suspect he feels the same way. Because now, in 2012, 45 years later, he still performs stuff like Get Back, Eleanor Rigby, Hey Jude, etc, etc, but when was the last time you saw him perform Ticket to Ride or I Wanna Hold Your Hand?
Yeah, I can't get into the early Beatles stuff, either, though I don't think I dislike it. Rubber Soul really seems like the turning point, and therere still some gems in the early stuff.
Beatles For Sale (1965) is great. I do agree however that the later stuff is superior
