Honest question: what is the deal with Beatles fans? I've listened to some of their albums and it just sounds like your average pop music yet my sister and her friends are nuts over them. At 24 I can't be that out of touch, can I?

Don't listen to any of these hipster middle class """"""""""white""""""""" """""""""""""""""men""""""""""""" on this Sinhalese ruby dusting forum literally any beatles album will be a good intro into their catalouge. Don't think about it too much, don;'t sit around analyising the music like some neurotic goy fag. Just listen to it, just give yourself up to it. It's not that difficult

But that's only because The Beatles created the formula that all pop music made since has been based on.

It isn't surprising that some people aren't blown away by them. There's been nearly half a century's worth of bands copying the ideas they're famous for.

If the fans you're talking about are middle-aged or close to it, then they were likely there when it happened and therefore have a closer connection to it. If they're younger, then they'd make good contacts for drugs.

it may be a little dated and corny but its pretty fucking good
>>
>>73505877
I've been flying the flag obnoxiously high for McCartney all thread, but I can agree with this. Plastic Ono Band is certainly a better album than All Things Must Pass.
>>
>>73505877
Because Lennon needed McCartney as much as McCartney needed Lennon. Even though they were essentially solo writers by the time of Revolver they still made suggestions to the other for how some parts of songs should go until the band broke up. See Fame, a pretty stellar song written by Lennon and Bowie, when he had someone writing alongside him (who wasn't Yoko Ono) he could be great.

And, honestly, I find the original demo of Free As A Bird beautiful.
>>
>>73505901
I have to agree, but most of John's other works became unbearable because of Yoko (Milk and Honey is the most glaring example)

>Paul and I were definitely working together, especially on "A Day in the Life" that was a real ... The way we wrote a lot of the time: you'd write the good bit, the part that was easy, like "I read the news today" or whatever it was, then when you got stuck or whenever it got hard, instead of carrying on, you just drop it; then we would meet each other, and I would sing half, and he would be inspired to write the next bit and vice versa. He was a bit shy about it because I think he thought it's already a good song ... So we were doing it in his room with the piano. He said "Should we do this?" "Yeah, let's do that."[6]
>McCartney suggested having the musicians improvise over the segment.[37] To allay concerns that classically trained musicians would be unable to do this, Martin wrote a loose score for the section.[44] Using the rhythm implied by Lennon's staggered intonation on the words "turn you on",[45] the score was an extended, atonal crescendo that encouraged the musicians to improvise within the defined framework.[37] The orchestral part was recorded on 10 February 1967 in Studio One at EMI Studios,[46] with Martin and McCartney conducting a 40-piece orchestra.[47] The recording session was completed at a total cost of £367 (equivalent to £6,007 in 2015)[48] for the players, an extravagance at the time.[49] Martin later described explaining his score to the puzzled orchestra:
A Day in the Life is just as much a Macca song as it is a Lennon song.

And I like Lennon more than I like Macca.

This isn't true, although Paul McCartney is probably 60% of the Beatles.

Paul needs an editor, someone to tell him when the shit he's doing is corny. John couldn't be counted on to write more than 2 or 3 killer melodies a year (what a LOSERlol!), but he could almost always be counted on to collaborate with Paul in a way that kept him from singing more than one old-timey vaudville love song to the lady who delivered his mail per album.
>>
>>73505149
says someone who only holds this opinion second-hand and wasn't around in the '60s. very little of what the Beatles did was new in a broader sense than "new for pop music" (and even then, many claims are dubious). as someone with access to a huge amount of all recorded music ever made thanks to the internet, you should really educate yourself on the true innovators of that time period who will be remembered long after the Beatles, even if they're due for a rediscovery in the mainstream right now
