I think I'm gonna buy the book "The Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles". Has anyone read it ?

George Harrison was always equivalent to Lennon and McCartney as far as I'm concerned. McCartney wrote The Night Before, Harrison wrote You Like Me Too Much. Lennon wrote I'm Only Sleeping, Harrison wrote Love you to. Lennon wrote Come Together, Harrison wrote Something. He was always as good as them, as they progressed, so did he.

Wow. Never heard Macca so excited. He seemed to take the breakup the hardest of all of them, so it's lovely to hear him enthused about something that's focused on their last year together. By the way, did anyone read this great Rolling Stone piece last week? A lot of the information was new to me, like Lennon sneaking into a screening of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's original cut of the film... 😢 I'm constantly amazed at how much there is to learn about The Beatles; they went through so many transformations as people and artists over those ten years.

As a kid i was never a Beatles fan at all, i guess with my dad being a Manc he didnt want Liverpool influencing me !
But since moving to Liverpool in 2016 its slowly been hammered into me (at one point i lived right by Penny Lane). Still not a die-hard expert fan, but im getting there.
Thought id ask peoples favourite Beatles solo records (including Wings)?

They wrote some of the best songs ever created, but they also wrote some absolute stinkers  My favourites: Paperback Writer If I Needed Someone I've Got A Feeling The End Here Comes The Sun Hello Goodbye Strawberry Fields Forever She Said She Said We Can Work It Out Baby's In Black Run For Your Life This Boy |

The first four would certainly be in my top five. Not sure about the fifth. Imagine i do like quite a bit, i also like Cloud Nine, and Venus and Mars has really grown on me. One that i really hated was Sometime In New York City. I just couldnt find anything on it i liked. Another i found a bit overrated was Tug of War, its not bad but not the classic it was hailed as at the time of release. |

Now you’ve got me started I have to put my 2 cents in.
I love every single Beatles album, but I love some more than others
Rubber soul
The white album
Revolver
Hard days night
Help
Sgt peppers
Beatles for sale (The Lennon McCartney originals are underrated)
Let it be
Magical mystery tour
Please please me
Abbey road
With the Beatles
As for solo albums, I am most familiar with George’s albums. I really enjoy Wonderwall Music. It’s a weird, curious collection of bits that serve as a kind of brief introduction to the Indian music George was starting to get really into in 1967 (May have been recorded 66, I can’t remember). Material World has some good songs on it but some very plodding ones too. I like Brainwashed quite a bit, it was a good album to end on. Cloud 9 has good songs on it, George sounds really revitalized but it does sound a little dated. What I enjoy most is The mostly acoustic Rare Takes Vol 1, a tidy 30 min collection of George at his most tender. Finally, as it’s been said by everyone already, All Things Must Pass is terrific. Even after nearly 20 years listening to this album, I still find new things that stand out to me. I even enjoy the instrumental run that closes out the album (I seem to never have time for it when I was younger I suppose).

Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey is an onslaught. Love it. I happened to listen to this last night. Not to get in to the whole Stones debate again, but again, just one example of the high superiority of The Beatles and that they weren't just a 'pop' band. That song is more raw and rocking than most things in the 1960s - when Lennon showed his true colours through music, it had a very spontaneous, punk vibe to it (reaches its peak on Plastic Ono Band). The White Album is full of this, for example I'm always taken aback by Paul's heavy bassline in While My Guitar Gently Weeps. What a bassline that tune has. |

Lennon’s work in ‘68 was like a precursor to ‘Plastic Ono Band’... his output that year was the best in his career I think. Hey Bulldog Revolution (Single Version) Dear Prudence Glass Onion The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill Happiness Is A Warm Gun I’m So Tired Julia Revolution 1 Yer Blues Sexy Sadie Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except... Cry Baby Cry Revolution 9 He also wrote the melody to ‘Jealous Guy’ (Child of Nature) in ‘68. Incredible. Not to mention Paul was on fire too in ‘68. |

I always forget about The Beatles and don't listen their music for months. And when you think about them, you just don't like them that much for some reason.
We all probably think sometimes something like, yeah, that 60s, I love you, you love me music, blah, blah.
But yeah, I spend last few hours just listening to their songs, watching covers, live version.
They are not the fucking best band,they made best music ever. You can't even compare them with Stones and Pink Floyd...
Best bands ever are:
1. Beatles
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. maybe then some other band
We can only compare them to Mozart and music like that. And they are even better than those guys.

One thing often overlooked about The Beatles is George Martin genius. The boys were obviously extraordinary songwriters but Martin fulfilled the potential of those songs. Notice how songs like "Come Together" or "Tomorrow Never Knows" still sound fresh today, almost modern in a way.
