The Beatles

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Abbey Road, George Harrison and I can't believe that we do not have a thread on the Beatles already. We must. Somewhere. I am sure.

anyone here brought the 'love' album? what you think?

What? a beatles thread and i didnt it, what a suprise.

Lests see, beatles, best group ever. favourite song is hey jude, with tons of their songs in a close second. Favourite beatle is john winston lennon. Favourite album is sargent pepper, with revolver and white album in a close second.

I bought the love album , and all that i could say is genious and the best music of all times. Its a mix of sounds and several songs of the faboulous four, and all of them are great. I liked specially the eleanor rigby/julia mix.

And i forget, im one of the greatest beatles fans on earth.

My Favourite Album:
Let It Be
Revolver

My Least Favourite:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
White Album

My Favourite Beatle:
John Lennon

My Least Favourite:
Paul McCartney

Best Album (maybe ever) : White Album. The cool thing about this album is, that it sounds just as fresh as it did 40 years ago.

From classic rock to pop to blues to pre-noise to experimental to whatever : a lot of different styles, but it works.

Other good albums : Rubber Soul, Abbey Road and Peppers of course.

I think the problem is : The Beatles wrote SO MANY great songs, and have had SO MANY hits, that people just take them for granted.

You know, Oh, just the Beatles, no big deal.

They are, by far, the most influential band ever. The best band, well that's up for debate, but I can't name one band that has had as much influence as the Beatles.

I couldnt be more agree with that post. You nailed it, dude.

How do we measure influence?

To measure beatles influence in general music and later musical generations would be almost impossible.

without them, probably 80% of music wouldn't be created

What a ridiculous claim in that form.

Cool, how do we measure influence?

Bardock, in terms of measurement , its impossible to evalue beatles influence in music, because its so big. I wont be so far as m.t. , but here are a reference: first group mixing several musical styles. First or second conceptual album. First video clip. And i could say a lot more.

Cool, how do we measure influence (generally)?

like these:

eg.

beatles = british invasion (Rolling stones, Who, Kinks, Cream, Animals, searcher, hollies, etcs)

then = black sabbath, led zeppelin, Bryds, Styx, etc

and goes on

So, you don't measure influence..you just state who you think had the most influence?

you measure it by success and media attention.

Talent or influence its impossible to measurements by dates, numbers or all that stuff. Only seee and heard what the beatles did in their time and see what things they did that it wasnt made in that time and what of those things were repited by later groups.
