It must've been awkward trying to work around John's violent misogyny. "Hey guys, I wrote a song called 'Love is Wonderful,' doesn't that sound good?" "Stupidest idea yet, Ringo. Okay, so the song we're doing is 'I'm Gonna Murder my Bitch Girlfriend,' followed by 'No Really, These Lyrics Aren't Ironic,' then 'Twelve Minutes of Domestic Abuse Featuring Me, John Winston Lennon' "

I can't remember enough of the specifics or the context, but someone speculated that The Beatles might not have become a pop culture phenomenon like they did if Richie Valens and Buddy Holly hadn't died, specifically Holly. I believe their logic was that Buddy Holly seemed like he was moving towards some style in production, song writing, sound, etc. that could have diminished the impact of the Beatles in the early 60s had he not died.

Abbey Road is my favourite Beatles album apart from Maxwell's Silver Hammer which is a really lovely song. Like, Octopus' Garden is dumb but at least it's fun, MSH is just trash and Lennon correctly called it "Paul's granny music". Every other song, and the medley, are solid gold. I also love Sgt Peppers apart from When I'm Sixty-Four. But I can forgive the shittiness of that song since McCartney wrote it when he was 16.

Fat drunken Morrison cosplaying an old black blues man, eccchh. * Riders on the Storm is cool, though.

The reason why people bang on about the Beatles so much is not a 'this band is better than that' pointless argument, although internet dullards often make it so. The Beatles for better or for worse created such a varied catalogue of work that almost everyone you meet has a Beatles song(s) they like - could be It's All Too Much or Yesterday depending on taste. The same cannot be said for the VU or any other band or artist that has been mentioned here.

I'm not a big fan of the Beatles pre-Rubber Soul but Twist And Shout is a great tune just for how energetic it is. And that they recorded it last, and always performed it last, because John couldn't sing anything afterwards.

macdonal hamborkles posted:I personally agree with you, my favorite music of that whole period was produced by the VU but that's not the point. I actually wasn't making an argument either way but I guess I'll say I get why the Beatles are important, they did two major things that still affect the music business: they treated an album/LP as more than just a collection of singles, and they explored the studio space as an instrument itself using stuff like multitracking, tape loops, and time stretching in ways that the pop mainstream hadn't heard before. The album thing is slowly being undone now though. (This also answers the question why Rubber Soul is so much better than Help!) And I actually do know people who don't like the Beatles, don't like any of their songs, and couldn't name one out of a line up, and they're not indie edgelords, they just didn't grow up with them playing everywhere and their music doesn't resonate with them now because the studio tricks they pioneered are now standard fare for any producer, but I'll betcha the bands they do like have favorite Beatles songs.

It's been kind of nice not making this about race, but I'll just say that there's prrrobably a significant racial dimension to this discussion, and especially claims like "everyone has a Beatles song they like" which you can think about on your own time, if you'd like to. Or not. I'm a post, not a cop.

I mean I won't come out and say Ravi Shankar's collection is better than Norwegian Wood, but I'm not sure how Rubber Soul vs Help is a racially charged topic.

The Eno/Bowie/Lou Reed/Iggy Pop wave of albums in the 70s are my personal favorite subsection of 70s music.

His personal life isn't news to anyone, it's just off-putting when you're cruising through the Beatles catalog and come up on "Run for Your Life" or "Getting Better" or whatever and it's like, oh, right... Though the horror/pop mix doesn't stop "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" from being one of their best songs.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a blight on what would otherwise be a perfect album. And I normally like paul's 'granny songs'. Martha My dear, When I'm 64 and Obladi Oblada and others are all fun to listen to, but MSH is just...Idk there's something about it that rubs me the wrong way.

The melody isn't the best or anything, but it's the sensible chuckle that does it, scoffing at that ne'er-do-well and his silver hammer like a mischievous puppy. There are tons of songs with psychedelic imagery out there, but few of them have such perfect dream-logic narrative as "Maxwell."
