Never could stand that song. Later years they got away from that sort of pop crap and became listenable.
Just me, yeah yeah..
Agree. Revolver is when they start to get interesting for me.
Okay. I'm a classical musician. This is not pop crap. The Beatles may not be everyone's cup of tea. The marvel is that they became MOST people's cup of tea. This doesn't happen by accident.
She Loves You shattered the pop music industry when it came out because it was so much more deft, original, polished, intelligent, and imaginative than 99.9 percent of any popular music out there. And most important, it was more emotionally engaging--something typical of their music. I remember when it was released, and it justly put everything else on the charts in the shade.
The Beatles were just lower-class, mostly Irish boys from Liverpool--right across the water from Dublin. But they were much more imaginative and skillful than most pros in that business. They were lucky that they had a towering genius for an arranger as well, and that they were willing to learn from him.
That's why they blew up the music business and re-made it in their image. They were better, right out the gate (after years of work in England) than anyone in the business.
I'm not in love with every song they've ever done. But so what. Their standard of creation and performance has had no peer in popular music in my lifetime--which is long. They deserve it all, and we should be thankful for them.
Leonard Bernstein was often seen at Creem concerts. When asked why he made an exception to only go to their rock concerts and not others he said “Well, their drummer keeps good time.”
