    Lucky me, I was out today at a new record store that opened near me (by record store, I mean actual vinyl records) and snagged a copy of Sgt. Peppers' in pretty good condition for just $13.

    The White Album is sick. Seriously. Lennon said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. I think Jesus was the invisible 5th Beatle. Not really, but wow, that album is unbelievable, every song. Birthday sounds like The Ramones. If I had been around back in the sixties I would have screamed louder and more stridently than any adolescent female at the sight or sound of them.

    Yeah, that's a thought this reader often has... how were people listening to this in the 60's? It seems like their head would explode (Similar to the effect that Buddy Holly and Little Richard had in the 50's).

    Abbey Road is almost perfect.

    As to the early stuff, Twist and Shout. I love the no brainer energy, no clever lyrics, just 4 young lads belting a song out.

    No doubt about their greatness and largeness but really can't listen to em much ever, just heard so much of em as a kid from older bros albums. I guess the doors and a few others like some rolling stones or Dylan or Van Morrison would also fall in the same category for me.

    My favourite Beatles song is Blackbird. I also love I Want to Hold Your Hand but I like one of the many covers of this song better. It's by Chris Colfer (don't shoot me ).

    When I get to be Emperor, which, as I think we all agree, can't be far off now, there will be daily public floggings of people who suggest that The Doors belong in the same conceptual universe, let alone the same category, as The Beatles.

    It's going to be a harsh regime, but an entirely reasonable one.

    Idril's prudence has forced me to select another of my favored Beatles songs:

    "Mother Nature's Son"

    .
    "Mongo only pawn in game of life" - Mongo

    I agree though I liked them in younger years. Just pointed out some stuff I heard so much of way back when that I'm not sure I need to ever hear it again, maybe sometimes is OK.

    I don't even like that song in English. Mop-top Beatles bad! Psychadelic Beatles good!
