Speaking about the Beatles...here's a nice little appropriate tune that The John , Justine and the rest of the turds can dedicate to Trumpty Dumpty.

Harrison to me was the "best" and "coolest" Beatle.
I never really got the Beatles. They had about a half dozen good songs
combined (solo and the group).
Most of it was commercial crap. They were stoned when they recorded it
and you needed to be stoned to enjoy it. We all live in a yellow
submarine? Really?
I was a Motown guy. They had music in their music. (Or maybe it was
just the SE DC influence).


Half a dozen "good songs"?
The big thing about them was that the majority of the tunes in their 13 or so albums were "good".
Sure they had a few fillers like Yellow Submarine and those sitar musicals from Harrison but otherwise you got your money's worth.
I bet you thought "I want to hold your hand" was musical genius.


You sound like my Dad.
That tune used to drive him nuts. Even worse was One More Rainy Day by Deep Purple.
Go back and listen to the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums. That's where they got really good...in my humble opinion.

Whatever rings your bell I guess. I doubt there is a Beatle song I
haven't heard. I stand by my "half dozen" comment. They are a cult
band that could fart in the mike and get their fans to buy the record.
I think they have pretty much said that in interviews. On those
albums there were only a couple songs each that actually got much air
play unless you were listening to an all night album show.



I had pretty much all their vinyl albums and a few 45s.
Later on in the 80s my brother-in-law bought the Beatles Box of supposedly superior recordings and copied the whole set onto good quality cassette tapes for me.
Finally, I bought all the albums in CD format and put them on my I Pod that I listen to up to this day.


Yeah yeah yeah.
What ever makes you happy.
I still like a good HDH song, with a good singer, backed up by the
Funk Brothers.
