Jojo probably did more drugs.
Yes. I would rank them as abbey road, sgt pepper then maybe revolver. Abbey road was the pinnacle and last thing they recorded. They went out at their peak.
I just heard "Listen to What The Man Said" a few days ago and it brought back such fond memories from 1975. That song was coming out of every car radio during that summer.
I pretty much agree. I was a huge Beatles fan when I was younger. Listened to their albums constantly during college in the 70's. I don't listen to them as much now. I don't listen to the "yeah, yeah, yeah!" stuff at all. My favorite period is 1965-1967. I like Rubber Soul, Revolver & Sgt. Pepper and the singles that came during that period like We Can Work it Out, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Rain, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane.
Thank Joe. The strings are divine.
My personal favorite song by Paul McCartney is Penny Lane. While it’s attributed to Lennon McCartney, Paul was the primary writer.
The lyrics are quirky, and he paints such a beautiful little picture of a lost age.
I also love his song, Martha My Dear — which is a touching song to his Old English Sheepdog, Martha. The horns in it alone kill me. And it’s a song to his favorite dog, can’t beat that.
Second worst. John and Yokoâs âMerry Xmas (War is Over)â is by far the worst.
Live and Let Die was all George Martin.
The credit I give to McCartney is he absorbed the things he learned from George Martin.
Still love the âRamâ album, when Paul still had the right mix of pop and avant-garde.
Emerson Fittipaldi, the champion Formula 1 racer, says George came to faith in Jesus before he died. Harrison had adopted Hindu beliefs for many years.
It was pretty easy to tell who was the primary creator of practically ever Lennon-McCartney song. Just listen to who sings the lead.
He was also a natural-born dumbass.
Ahhh yes, silent George!
One of the reasons I love the Beatles’ album, ABBEY ROAD is it featured two great songs written and performed by George Harrison — SOMETHING and HERE COMES THE SUN.
It also featured a song written and sang by Ringo — Octopus Garden.

âRevolverâ is my favorite Beatles album too. After I swiped my parentsâ copy a few times to play on my âkidâ record player, they gave it to me and bought a new album for themselves.
and today, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys turns 80
My BFF, another close friend and I saw Wings at RFK Stadium in DC in the late 80s. Like most, if not all people at the concert, we were there to see Paul McCartney.
We had to listen to a very short anti-meat statement at the beginning and there was no meat sold at any of the concession stands (we ate at a restaurant before the concert), but otherwise, it was a great show.
We couldnât help but notice that everyone stayed rooted in their seats during the Beatles songs (and there were many, much to our delight) and went to the restroom or concessions during the Wings songs. LOL
Beatle mania memorabilia is losing demand and value as the boomers age out. Earlier this hear I sold a great collection of it my sister accumulated in real time while it happened between 1963-1970. Got $120 for it when 15-20 years ago it would have brought $500.
Yes. 1976 SNL had George Harrison and Paul Simon performing here comes the sun. Great rendition.
There is also a forgotten tune by Lennon on AR called Because. Multiple tracks of Paul, John and George singing in luscious harmony. Stunning harmonies. Geoff Emerickâs book details what they did to create these pieces.
Tomorrow never knows on revolver was highly compressed which was unusual for those days. I know this because in recording it on my reel to reel the VU meters hardly moved at all. Highly compressed drums, sitar and sound effects with Lennonâs voice through a Leslie.
Lol when they say, âAnd here is a song from our latest album!â, they might as well say, âGood time for a bathroom break or get more beers!â
