Re: Beatles Music Imortal Or Is It
Another white bands matter thread.....Don't any of you lot listen to black music :wave:
The Beatles are right up there in the 6ts but so was Tamla Motown and Rock steady, No wonder Sludge suffers with dry dick syndrome with his choice of music.

It seems its like some romantic view with many they are the best ?
I’m not sure how you define the sound of a band that across just a few years produced songs including Yesterday, Here, There and Everywhere, Blackbird etc. etc. along with Helter Skelter, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Oh! Darling, Dear Prudence, Happiness Is A Warm Gun etc. etc. Pretty hard to pigeon hole for me.

The OP mentioned Black Sabbath🤣🤣🤣. I couldn’t name more than 2 members of that band. I’d bet that 90% of the people on Earth could name the 4 members of The Beatles

I'd take that bet.
90% of people in the anglosphere perhaps, go to rural China and I think you'd struggle

I doubt even 90% of people in the UK would know them all. Around 15% of the population is aged under 20, around 16m people. If everybody aged 20 and over knew their names, around 60% of all youngsters under the age of 20 would need to know their names as well. If you include everyone aged between 11 and 20 as knowing who all the Beatles are, 20% of under 10s would also need to know.

Re: Beatles Music Imortal Or Is It
Hard to think the Velvet Underground recorded their first album and very new sound in 1967 at the same time as Beatles released Sgt Pepper

Re: Beatles Music Imortal Or Is It
For me, no one even comes close to rivalling their amazing catalogue, and with it becoming increasingly difficult to be original, I doubt if anyone ever will.

You are one boring individual... Happy Christmas 🤣, although I bet a few people are glad that social distancing is in effect so they don’t get stuck in a corner chatting to you at a Xmas party

Even less now as TBG has confused the issue.

I agree completely. Plus for me, as someone who spent over a decade in a a musician, they were a major factor in me picking up a guitar and starting to sing. Their songs were varied, had a breadth of style and difficulty for for me to keep dipping into their catalogue.
Even if you're not a fan of theirs you can't dispute the massive impact they had and still do. And lets not forget they were only together for 7 or 8 years!

Can be a tad embarassing if you have problems with your rs.

Re: Beatles Music Imortal Or Is It
I don't like the Beatles as I dont like either Lennon or Mcartneys voice at all. I find them nasally and annoying. But as a few have said, their legacy is unsurpassed.
However, whenever someone does a good cover of a Beatles track I usually like it. Perhaps that's testament to how good they were as songwriters.

Never been particularly enamoured with the Beatles, but really the success of their records was largely down to the skills of their producer, arranger, composer, conductor and audio engineer George Martin. I guess pretty much anyone could have a hit or two with him pulling the strings.

Oh please !! To dismiss the songwriting and creative skills of Lennon & McCartney in particular is quite ridiculous. Nobody has ever underestimated the importance of George Martin's input, which was enormous, but without the raw material to work with, there would not have been any hit records.
