I also think George had the best solo career. Maybe I haven't listened to enough of Lennon's solo stuff, but much of it's very similar. It's just that there are a lot of songs like God, that he wrote, that people really seem to praise (derp pun), but I don't think work particularly well as songs - you don't really sing along to them. Some of Paul's solo stuff is alright, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of Wings. Also, George started The Traveling Wilburys - one of my favourite bands along with the Beatles, and a great supergroup.

I actually thought that the songs that Harrison wrote were a lot more unique than some of the Lennon/McCartney songs they made. For example, "Something" had an extremely unique chord progression, (C, Cmaj7, C7, F, D7, G). And "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" utilizes it's chromatic bass line so well.

[url]http://www.thefabfour.com/home.html[/url] They don't really have a CD because of copyright issues. But you can listen to a few songs on their site. If you ever get a chance to see them live you should, they're quite good (and I normally hate tribute bands).

People who haven't listened to The Beatles all their life would easily be confused.

Can anyone explain why the song "Good Night" sounds so familiar to me? I feel like I've heard it somewhere in a movie or something. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EoQVaQGXmM[/media] The music, not the lyrics.

It needs to be next Tuesday God Dammit! :woop: Ringo Starr Concert! :woop:
This is going to sound shocking, but I just straight don't like the Beatles. I respect what they've done for music, and I understand that they're one of the greatest rock bands ever to exist ever. I just simply don't really like their music. It just sounds a little too dated to me. I really only go for anything after 1970 or roots of rock stuff like blues. I even like a lot of their solo work (George Harrison is a fucking genius). I've just made the informed opinion that they're not really my thing. Am I weird?
Yes.
