Your comment on my previous suggestion?
[QUOTE=Akayz;23728610]People WILL disagree
but I reckon the albums that have the MOST beatles persona in them are the LAST three studio albums
People who Agree?[/QUOTE]
I think I agree that they have the most Beatles persona, but I would have to say Revolver is still my favourite. Revolver was basically John Lennon w/ The Beatles in terms of song writing.

I believe George Harrison wrote Taxman, arguably the best, most memorable song on the album :smug:
I hate when people suggest that its Only Lennon or MCcartney with the band.. That sort of comment sucks :saddowns:
But revolver did get the Band as a whole to each give what they got, remarkable stuff

Taxman is a good catchy song and is the type of song that made the Beatles famous.
But I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, and Here There and Everywhere show the depth in John Lennon's writing and how he was on such a different level in terms of song writing (at the time) than the rest. I know Here, There and Everywhere is moreso McCartney's writing than Lennon's but Lennon certainly did a large chunk of it.
And I'm not suggesting that it's only Lennon or McCartney with the band, but it is clear that Revolver is basically a John Lennon showcase.
I went to a restaurant here in Sweden where George Harrison ate in (i think) 72'
Basically, the restaurant hadn't changed a bit so i asked them to sit where George Harrison sat, and it was pretty cool.
That is badass.

I am proud of my creations.
In regards to Revolver, one of my favorite songs (that I cannot believe hasn't been mentioned yet!) is Love You To. Harrison's sitar skills are excellent and make this one of the coolest sounding songs in my opinion.
Then again, Harrison is my favorite Beatle and I love all of his Shankar inspired songs so maybe I'm a little bit biased.

Those are awesome. I really like Another Girl.
I'm about to watch the Let it Be movie... is it any good?
It's interesting, yeah. Most of it is just clips of them rehearsing and writing, though. I was expecting proper interviews.
Also, the rooftop concert at the end is one of the best things ever recorded on film, and it's worth watching the whole thing just to see that.
Worth a watch for sure.

I know I'm gonna enjoy it. I just want to see how they worked together in their days when they were struggling for conceptions. I think its possibly their better days as musicians but I may be wrong.

It won't be released any time soon until they find some sense. Its an important movie for beatles fans.
anthology and live at BBC are amazingggggg
[quote=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/yoko-breaks-silence-to-reveal-lennons-last-words-452542.html] For 40 years Yoko Ono has kept a silent dignity in the face of global vilification meted out by legions of Beatles fans.
But today, in an emotional interview, she reveals the last words her husband John Lennon uttered moments before he was gunned down on a New York street in 1980 by Mark Chapman.
"I said 'shall we go and have dinner before we go home?' and John said 'No, let's go home because I want to see Sean before he goes to sleep'," Ono, 73, told Kirsty Young on 'Desert Island Discs'.
Young then asked Ono if Lennon had said anything after he was shot, to which she replied in almost a whisper: "No."
Ono, a conceptual artist, admitted that she would never be more than "the wife of an ex-Beatle".
Choosing Edith Piaf's "Je Ne Regrette Rien" as one of her discs, she added: "I regret nothing, too."[/quote]
:(
yoko aint that bad
not a great musician but she's an okay gal

Yeah only when shes not crazy :byodood:
Listen to the Season of Glass album, its a nice album... Quite a freakish cover by using Lennon's actual bloodstained glasses when he was murdered.
Albums like that are worth giving a try.
Goddamnit John, [b]why didn't you have the damn dinner[/b]
Ah, yes. Yoko Ono. Don't know what to say. Listen to this. The original is about 20 minutes I think.

Not sure why the uploader chose a picture of Norwegian TV-host Alf Tande-Petersen though.

That's actually alright.
I prefer the original Let it Be album to the remixed version. Its a more authentic beatles production than the hollow mix of let it be naked, i like both as they are fantastic, For You Blue is better on the naked album.

I like The Long And Winding Road much better on "Naked". Last time I checked The Beatles were not an orchestra.
But the one thing I prefer about the normal version is the dialogue before a bunch of the songs. It makes the album better to me for some reason.

Yes i've heard all the say about phil spectors production, but thats what brought the greatness out of the second grade recordings. You can clearly recognize the amount of rehearsed recordings, rehashed and digitzer work on naked.. But not all of the songs are like that, some versions are superb ones like the long and winding road, some have some really nice guitar play that pulls through better compared to the original.
As a whole, i have to disapprove of let it be naked. McCartney isn't The Beatles so he making it his own when at the time of recording things werent great, especially as mac was concerned, i find the project a bit dim rather than a 'how we should of ended'.
THE best band to ever walk the face of this earth.

What the fuck am I listening to.
Also, I love the beatles, but I just couldn't sit through yellow submarine. It was one of the trippiest things I saw.
And I just discovered Do you want to know a secret. Holy fuck that is such a great song!
[editline]07:23AM[/editline]
Also could you guys explain me a few things?
Like what was this hoax that Paul was dead?
And what the hell is the connection between helter skelter and tha Mansons? And what the fuck is a helter skelter?
Ok, paul wasn't dead, ever, it was just a conspiracy theory. And not sure bout "tha Masons", but helter-skelter means "in confused, disorderly haste".
Oh, but if you're talking about Charles Manson, he interpreted the song as a prediction of a racial war or something.
