Album of the year. No need for discussion. Just agree and post your favorite stuff from the album. If you haven't heard it, buy it, listen to it, and then post your favorite stuff.

Eleanor Rigby is my favorite Beatles song ever, and quite possibly may be my favorite anything song ever...

I'm buying this for my mom for Christmas.

And for the record, the best Beatles song is either A Day In The Life or Taxman.

I saw the show in Vegas when I went for my birthday.

I didn't get it.

At first I thought I did, then I realized a bit later that I didn't.

At least the tickets were free.

i think the best Beatles song is Rocky Raccoon, Its obscurity and actual story to the song make it perfect

Wrong...With the Beatles there is no such thing as "the best" song...All of their stuff is just that good...

My favourite Beatles song is You've Got to Hide Your Love Away...or Paperback Writer...or I Want to Hold Your Hand.

The Beatles are a very talented band though I tend to prefer their older pop stuff. Think Red Album as opposed to Blue. I hold the theory that a lot of their later weird songs only became big hits because they were by the Beatles. The Beatles could have recorded Happy Birthday and people would have ate it up.

One thing I like though is that when the Beatles were active they were both critically and commercially the top band. In other words all was right with music for a little while. Have we ever seen that since? It seems that often the best bands are never the most popular while the number single is often a really horrible novelty tune that no one cares about six months later.

Honestly, I could do without everything pre-Revolver.

The Beatles did record Happy Birthday (opening track of disc two of The White Album) and people did eat it up. Weird.

DA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NAAA!
So they say it's your birthday!
DANA NA NA NA NA NA NA NAN A NA!!
Happy Birthday to ya!

They used to play that while reading out people's birthdays on a local kids show called "The Buckshot Show" - imagine Krusty the Clown only with a cowboy suit and less drug problems. The Buckshot Show is celebrating it's 40th anniversary this year (though it hasn't been on air since the late 90s). I don't know why I feel the need to share it, it was a slice of my childhood.

As for the Beatles, I love all kinds of their songs. I'm told I wanted to listen to the White Album like every day as a pre-schooler. Back in the U.S.S.R, Rocky Racoon and The Little Piggies were my favourites. I learned how to use the record player just so I could listen to it.

I really liked Sgt. Pepper in the 90s and I recently heard Revolver which is cool too. I wasn't into their early stuff, but I got my hands on Anthology I and although it's still not my favourite, I've developed more of an appreciation for it.

I just got that album and it owns. It's a neat compilation of Beatles songs, and some cool remixes. I don't normally buy compilation albums from most bands, but due to the Beatles' (mostly) non-linear albums, it was a must.

ThePerm · « **Reply #10 on:** December 23, 2006, 10:19:59 AM »

im not sure which is my favorite, its any one of their more psychodelic songs "i am the walrus, strawberry fields, lucy in the sky, across the universe", im not into their early boy bandish stuff(not to say i dont like it, just not as much..and also that depends on the song, because i really like "in my life")

I got into the Beatles, right after a breakup, i would listen to more and more songs, and eventually i got out of a depression. So, they're a pretty special band for me. For all fo the songs that iv heard, i pretty much know all the words, which is a phenomenon for me because I usually used to just listen to the melody of songs growing up. Afterwords, i really tend to like British invasion bands. I was looking for some songs from the Kinks earlier on today.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe I have ever heard a good band with the word "The" in their name.

Maybe enjoyed would be a better word than heard, since music is art and therefore subject to one's taste.

The Beatles
The Ramones
The Rolling Stones
The Darkness
The Artist Formerly Known as, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, who has reverted to just Prince.
The Cure
The Cheetah Girls
Panic! At The Disco
The Beastie Boys
The Killers
The Strokes
The White Stripes
The Pussycat Dolls
The Game

It probably is just me.

Prince is a person, not a band.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Awesome ska-core band (not going to start a flame war about this, but they were genre-defining and simply an awesome live band).

End of discussion.

(and no, I haven't listened to the new Beatles album - I did hear a bit of one song and it sounded like the producer was on mind-altering drugs when they mixed it. Terrible, terrible over-produced stuff. Ringo would be spinning in his grave right about now if he could hear it)

ThePerm · « **Reply #15 on:** December 24, 2006, 04:13:12 PM »

maryjane adds discussion that creates argument!!! Troll! Just kidding, but man you listed alot of bands i like!

the question is do you like Tom Petty? not a "the" band but....well maybe Tom Petty and the heartbreakers....

Ringo can hear it!!! He's still alive!

I thought we all agreed Frenzal Rhomb - Forever Malcolm Young was album of the year!

D_MaN87 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 25, 2006, 03:13:20 AM »

Its common, but I'll always consider Let it Be and Imagine to be two of my favorite beetle songs.

Renny · « **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2006, 06:52:37 PM »

I really dig their new material.

Oh, that's right.... Album of the yesteryear.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #20 on:** January 02, 2007, 09:38:20 AM »

I'm listening to it right now. I'm on the seventh track. So far it's like someone raped every good Beatles song, then put the song's terrified and traumatized body into a blender , and finished by mashing the remaining quivering pile of sludge into my ears.

Okay, so it's not THAT bad, some of the songs sound okay, but most of it is garbage. Thumbs = down so far, let's see how it turns out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, it actually got better! It's still not awesome, but some songs turned out pretty good. I'd say 3/4 of songs were over mixed/mixed poorly, while the remaining fourth actually turned out nice. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is easily my favorite on there, since the mixing is more subtle and really adds to the song. Basically, the songs that are least changed are the best, while everything else basically sucks. That doesn't really speak well for the album as a whole.

Oh, and for the record Let it Be is their best song, and Abbey Road is their best album.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The more I listen to it, the more I like it. I listed to the album on something other than headphones today and it was amazing. Still some over-production and poor choices here and there, but over all I basically love it. Huh.

I think Imagine was a John Lennon solo song wasn't it?

It was. I liked the mashup someone did of that by replacing all the words with cut up speeches by Bush.
