This would be an actual difficult quiz for Beatles fans if you took out all the consonants in the questions, gave only one second to answer, gave no multiple choice, and we have to hold our breath underwater the whole time.
If there are any Beatles fans then why not take the George Harrison guess the song test. See my latest up load from November 2022 to take the test. Budget George is on a walk and talk and he mentions titles that he’s sung in the Beatles and a few solo ones
Yes, too easy for any Beatles fan.. Didn't even need the multiple choice to know all of these in about 2 seconds! Still, anything having to do with these four guys is going to be fun!❤❤❤❤
I got 8 out of ten right. Did not know 700 hour album or who Saxie Sadie was. I'm 70 years old and was glued to the TV on February 9, 1964. I washed the grease out of my hair and cut straight bangs that night; I got sent to the school principal's office the next morning, told to comb my hair out of my eyes. Became a professional musician (bass guitar and guitar) still to this day!
I know, the influence these four had on our lives is truly amazing. I was just turning 7(b'day a few days later) on Feb 9, 1964 and remember every minute of that Ed Sullivan premier. Had older sisters and music loving parents, we all watched in awe and our lives were never the same!
Back in the day we used to just roll up at the door to see all the big stars. The Beatles, Stones, Little Stevie Wonder, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison, Neil Sedaka, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, The Who, Bee Gees, David Bowie, all the Liverpool and Manchester groups and loads more. All within 10 miles of home. The furthest I went was 30 miles to Trentham Gardens to see the Beatles and that was a spur of the moment decision. Happy days never to return.
Mainly liverpool bands then mate. Only the Hollies, freddie and the dreamers manx. Mainly 89s 90s manx. Mersey beat 60s. Second wave liverpool 70s 80s Echo an the bunnymen wah, china crisis, Flock of seagulls, elvis Costello, farm, the Laas etc
I was thirteen when the band had their breakthrough, and I was 20 when they split, they were my entire youth. I've played so many of their songs, on and off stage. Off course I had 10/10, I would have been ashamed if I hadn't.
Missed a couple but still a Beatles fan, was 14 when the old rock and roll was knocked for a loop and The Beatles revolutionized rock and roll. In my mind they will never be surpassed for the impact of excellent sounds.
10/10 I only had to think about Sgt Peppers or White album, but recalled Paul telling the story that some critics thought they had "dried up" because it had been awhile since they had released anything. Also Ringo said his main Peppers memory was he learned how to play chess while making it, biding time in between his drum parts. lol
A valiant attempt. However, a truly difficult Beatles quiz would include questions more along these lines: No multiple choice. Answers below. 1. What is the only song credited Lennon/Harrison? 2. What was the working title for 'Tomorrow Never Knows'? 3. What do the cover of 'Revolver' & The Plastic Ono Band have in common? 4. What is the only song with different vocal takes used on the British & American versions? 5. Which of the Beatles does NOT play keyboards on Rubber Soul? 6. What was unique about the way Ringo played drums? 7. According to the other three, who was the one who NEVER screwed up in the studio? 8. What brand of Amps did they use? 9. Sgt. Pepper's was recorded on a machine with how many tracks? 10. What is the only song credited to all four? Extra Credit: John, Paul & George all owned Epiphone Casinos. Who owned the one with the Bigsby tail piece? 1. 'Cry for a Shadow', an instrumental on 'The Beatles with Tony Sheridan'. 2. Mark 1 3. Klaus Voorman. He drew the cover & was Bassist in the band. 4. Help! Capitol Records thought the original vocal sounded too gritty so used an alternate take. 5. George 6. Ringo is left-handed but plays a drum kit set up for right-handers. 7. Ringo 8. Vox, almost exclusively. Towards the end they tried other amps in the studio. 9. A 4 Track. Just think about that for a minute. 10. 'Flying', an instrumental on 'Magical Mystery Tour'. Extra Credit. No one is certain since there are pictures of all 3 playing it and it is known that the Casino Paul had at that time was a righty model that he strung upside down.
I went 9 of 10...I chose the White Album as the album that took 700 hours to record. And that's the only one I got wrong. I also guessed correctly on two of the answers.
Two points: 1.) Actually, before Pete Best, Paul would be the percussionist when the band was in-between drummers; technically making Sir Paul the group's original drummer. 2.) Ringo does not play the drums on "Love Me Do" as it's heard on the band's first album, "Please Please Me." George Martin hired studio musician Andy White to play drums on the song; Ringo was relegated to playing the tambourine on that tune. Look for the song version without the tambourine ("Past Masters" or "Rarities") to hear Ringo actually playing the drums.
9/10. Even although I don't consider myself a huge Beatles fan, I enjoyed pretty much finding out that I knew most of the answers before looking at the options. I thought it was the White Album that required more than 700 hours in studio, but I learned something new today.
Pete Best was their first long term/permanent drummer, that is of course, until they met Ringo. But technically, their first ever drummer was Colin Hanton, when they were still The Quarrymen. They had many drummers, including Paul and Mike McCartney, but most of them only lasted a few months. Pete lasted the longest. I thought the quiz was going to have Colin Hanton as a possible answer.
@@gregstileski2887 It wasnt the Beatles though. . It was after the Beatles!!! Take care. Many Beatles individual played on tracks, but this was solo careers
I got them all. As a kid when my dad died in 1980, latched on to the Beatle hour every Sunday night as a 9 year old. Lennon was shot later that year right when Just like starting over and Woman and wathcing the wheels were taking off. During the Beatle hour on Sunday night on WHLM 106.5FM during that period of time the DJ, would give facts between songs. I listed to this show every week until I graduated high school. I know how to play all the songs on guitar and bass. ALL of them.
10 out of 10...actually 11 out of 10. The Beatles went to Rishikesh in February of 1968 not the summer of 1967. Back in the 90s my daughter who was then about twenty at the time went on a cruise and they had a nightly trivia game and my daughter was selected to play. The subject she drew was "The Beatles Trivia". The way the game went was you'd win $10 for every correct answer and would keep playing until you had an incorrect answer and the one at the end with the most money also won a bunch of other prizes. My daughter got up there and answered one hundred questions in a row without a miss. The emcee asked her how she knew all the answers and she said she didn't know how she knew but growing up with me as her father the answers all just jumped into her head. The next night they played a game where you had to sing the next line to a song and my daughter drew "1960s Motown" and again knocked it out of the park. The emcee asked..."Your father again?" and my daughter said:"No. My mother. My entire life Saturday mornings she'd do her housework and play old Motown". Parents have a lot more influence on their kids than they even realize.
Yep and then when they toured with Johnny Gentle in Scotland they were saddled with another lousy drummer. I forget his name but the one photo I've seen of him he looks like he cant stand playing with this band.
You can know that simply by listening to the song because the only things you can hear is John’s voice and a guitar, so it makes sense he did this on his own
9/10 and like many others here, most without the assistance of the multiple choices. I did mess it up forgetting about Cranberry sauce... so many “Paul Is Dead” clues in so many songs! Anyway, fun exercise.
I got into the Beatlemania only two months ago. I'm currently 18 years old so I've never even remotely been in touch with the Beatles other than Spotify, records, radio, TV or RUclips. I still got all the questions right.
My Answers 1. Pete Best ✅ 2.( I guessed) Dear Prudence ✅ 3. Strawberry Fields Forever ✅ 4. SGT Pepper ✅ (I was unsure if it was this or the white album) 5. Julia ✅ 6. Ed Sullivan Show ✅ 7. A Hard Day's Night ✅ 8. I did not know this one ❌ 9. I didn't know thos as well ❌ 10. Eric Clapton ✅ Final score: 8/10
Optional question #11 tiebreaker: Which of the following is John really singing several times in the song Sexy Saddie? a) Keep stabbing, keep stabbing b) It's upon them - the telegram c) Baby you can drive my Hearse d) Sexy Satan
C. Pete Best D. Dear Prudence A. Strawberry Fields Forever D. Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band B. Julia D. The Ed Sullivan Show A. A Hard Days Night B. Free As A Bird A. Maharishi Yogi B. Eric Clapton 10/10
same, except I got Sexy Sadie off a random guess. I missed John's Solo song (but Julia was my second choice), and missed the 700 hour album (which I had no clue)
@@michaeljones155 I'm a loooong time fan and got them all before the suggestions came up. . With the Julia song question, all the other choices were big productions so not likely done alone. And Mother was a later Lennon song, not the Beatles.
9/10 crap missed the 700 hours one which is really stupid because I actually had the great honor of meeting & talking to Geoff Emerick in Vegas. He was helping Cheap Trick at the Paris hotel casino. They were doing the Sgt. Peppers album. Great guy very humble to.
1. Pete Best 2. Dear Prudence 3. Strawberry Fields Forever 4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5. Julia 6. The Ed Sullivan Show 7. A Hard Day's Night 8. Free As A Bird 9. Maharishi Yogi 10. Eric Clapton
Actually, depending on you want to go, the correct answer to #8 is All of the Above... -Yesterday: "I'm not half the man I used to be" is an admission that the replacement will never truly be Paul -Hey Jude: Paul's death is the sad song, secretly replacing him made it better -Penny Lane: The royal portrait in the fireman's pocket is hush money to hide the accident
They actually used a lot of drummers before Pete Best became member of the band, but they did not last more than one to a few gigs: Tommy Moore (1960), Johnny Hutchinson (1960, 1962), Cliff Roberts (may 1960), Norman Chapman (1960)
6/10 I went to a Beatles Concert in 1964, so I considered myself a Beatles Fan, but really I was always a Paul Fan, so only interested in him. So maybe that is why I scored so low!?
I got them all before the choices were even posted... but one of them actually has many correct answers... The 'Paul is dead' lyric clues are all over the place; A Day In The Life, She's Leaving Home, Don't Pass Me By, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Revolution Number Nine and Glass Onion all had lines interpreted as referring to the Death of Paul... "Now here's another clue for you all.... the Walrus was Paul." And there are also scores of visual clues in album cover art!
10 out of 10. but to be picky “Here comes the sun” was not written at anyone’s house (won’t say the answer in case anyone else takes the quiz), but in the garden 😂
C. Pete Best C. Julia (X) A. Strawberry Fields Forever D. Stg. Pepper D. Mother (X) D. Ed Sullivan A. Hard Day's Night B. Free as a Bird (I have no idea) (I have no idea)
Julia is kind of a trick question. It's a Beatles song credited to Lennon McCartney.(Same as Blackbird for Paul) Where as Mother was Lennon as sole writer...
Too easy. But then, I was born right about the time the Beatles were in Hamburg honing their act. I remember watching the Beatles cartoon show before I knew anything about bands and rock music. My first conscious memory was the broadcast of the rooftop concert in 1970. Here's the test of a true Beatles fan: If you've ever heard and/or own "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) and the German Language versions of "She Loves You (Sie Liebt Dich)" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand (Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand)" which they recorded as a thank you to the people in Hamburg. If you can find copies of "Past Masters Volumes 1 & 2", you'll find a number of other rare gems such as "Rain", the B-Side of "Paperback Writer" which is one of my most favorite songs of all time. Paul's bass line is incredible, maybe his best ever. I'm a bass player, so I'm a little biased. The US and UK versions of "Rarities" also contain these songs as well as (slightly) alternate versions of other songs. It's amazing how their music has withstood the test of time.
Despite the popular mythology, Pete best was not their first drummer. They had a hell of a time holding onto drummers in the early years. Even Pete was on-again-off-again. Before him was Colin Hanton, Tommy Moore and Norman Chapman. Colin was the Quarymen drummer before Paul or George even joined. Technically, that wasn't the Beatles...or was it? It was John, Paul and George, after all. "A rose by any other name" don'cha know. Also, while "Strawberry Fields" was part of the Paul is dead rumors, it most likely started with the line from "A Day in the Life, "He blew his mind out in a car." The rumor that started after SPLHCB was released in '67 and spread heavily around college campuses in '69, came to my S.F. radio station soon after. At the time, I fully believed it. It was my first conspiracy theory! Wikipedia has a pretty good article on it. I scored 8 of 10 because of those disputes with the quiz's answers. Otherwise, as an old Beatles fan, I naturally found this quiz to be super easy.
The solo Lennon question was a tricky one for me. Given the choices "Julia" and "mother," I got slightly confused because "Mother" was a song from Lennon's solo years. That threw me off a little bit.
9. Most of them I found very easy. A couple made me think - Prudence Farrow (but I got it right), and "Julia". Although most were easy for me, I still enjoyed it, and learned something from the explanations.
Nice job on video, however, the most novice fan would know some of these questions. A true fan,( meaning someone somewhat obsessed, ) would know... Was John near- or far- sighted? What chord did John & Paul learn after riding buses to far side of Liverpool? Was Ringo ambidextrous? Did George take guitar lessons?
OOH. JOHN WAS EXTREMELY NEAR SIGHTED AND HE ALSO HAD ASTIGMATISM AND HIS RIGHT EYE WAS WORSE THAN HIS LEFT EYE (HIS GLASSES READ -8.25 FROM THE RIGHT AND -7.50 FROM THE LEFT)
@@devanfoster2376 Wow... now that is devotion. I thought I knew most things about my favorite Beatle. When every one was yelling "Paul" I was looking at John. Broke my little girl heart when I found out he was married... LOL. Thanks for sharing that.
that was ridiculously easy. With the exception of "Here comes the Sun", didnt even need to hear the choices. Still guessed that it was Eric Claptons House.
I guessed wrong on the 700 hour one, thinking that the double album The Beatles would win by default, but when you listen to some of those songs, you can see that it probably took half that time.
Love these 'hardest ever' quizzes made up by people who know next to nothing about the artist. I could have answered these without blinking when I was 12.
I got 9 out of 10. I didn't know John was the only one playing on "Julia", plus having "Mother" as an option was kind of confusing - that's John solo so what would he be more likely to play all the instruments on himself than a solo song?
9 out of 10. I missed the Sexy Sadie question. I just keep learning new things about the Beatles and I be been an avid Beatlemaniac for nearly 45 years.
This quiz [and research] needs some work. 1. The Beatles' first drummer was Johnny Hutchinson who lasted for ONE song. He was replaced by Tommy Moore. George Harrison stated that Moore was the best drummer the Beatles ever had. After Moore left the group, Paul became the drummer and was occasionally replaced by either John Lennon or George Harrison. Pete Best was signed as a drummer because the Beatles next gig in Hamburg required a 5-piece band. 3. At the end of "I'm So Tried," John can be heard mumbling backward: "Paul is a dead man," repeatedly. 5. Paul recorded "Yesterday" independently. All it was, was Paul on acoustic guitar which George Martin later added a string quartet.
9 out of ten, I did not know what song was recorded by John alone. I knew between Mother and Julia, decided mother should have know it being a Beatles quiz it would have been the Beatles song, but I figured they might have some questions of the Beatles after the Break up. 8 of ten I knew without the hearing the multiple choice. I wasn't sure about Dear Prudence until I saw the name.
Actually Free as a Bird was a Lennon solo demo that was dubbed over by the other 3 surviving members. It wasn't really a Beatle song at all. Even George said so.
If your younger not into techie stuff ? .. It's not that easy .. 9/10... It was a toss up between the White album and Sargt Pepper... I now want too know how long the White Album took ?....

9 for 10 ill take it! Didn’t know john did julia all by himself
just listen to it .... John, by himself
A real fan listens to music, as Beatles is a band, and you dont have to know their complete lifespan to love their works
That is so true. You don't have to know all the details and the mechanics to really enjoy their song and their gorgeous harmonizing voices
Not really... Still looking for the answer to how they totally conquered the world - and then started getting started. Any info might help... 😄😄😄
10 of 10 easy questions made even easier by choosing from multiple choice answers
Optional question #11 tiebreaker: Which of the following is John really singing several times in the song Sexy Saddie?

10/10
7/10. Missed John's solo song, the 700 hour album and who Sexy Sadie was.
those were the exact ones i missed too
same, except I got Sexy Sadie off a random guess. I missed John's Solo song (but Julia was my second choice), and missed the 700 hour album (which I had no clue)
I figured it had to have been "Sgt Pepper" album cuz that was quite involved.
Same except I got John’s solo one
@@michaeljones155 I'm a loooong time fan and got them all before the suggestions came up. . With the Julia song question, all the other choices were big productions so not likely done alone. And Mother was a later Lennon song, not the Beatles.
9/10 crap missed the 700 hours one which is really stupid because I actually had the great honor of meeting & talking to Geoff Emerick in Vegas. He was helping Cheap Trick at the Paris hotel casino. They were doing the Sgt. Peppers album. Great guy very humble to.
7/10- this was really fun and I like your voice!
I think it's a robot...

9/10! Well technically 8/10, but I say I got the John solo song.
7/10 here. I was one of those who watched them on the TV when they first appeared in the US. I was very young at the time. LOL
That was a nice quiz but there should be another level that's harder A little too easy for beatlemaniacs
Actually, depending on you want to go, the correct answer to #8 is All of the Above...
-Yesterday: "I'm not half the man I used to be" is an admission that the replacement will never truly be Paul
-Hey Jude: Paul's death is the sad song, secretly replacing him made it better
-Penny Lane: The royal portrait in the fireman's pocket is hush money to hide the accident
Nice quiz, some of these were hard!
10/10 !! answered them all before the choices even came up lol. easy but fun
The original drummer was actually Paul Mccartney for just a few days
They actually used a lot of drummers before Pete Best became member of the band, but they did not last more than one to a few gigs: Tommy Moore (1960), Johnny Hutchinson (1960, 1962), Cliff Roberts (may 1960), Norman Chapman (1960)
Paul never played any gigs for the Beatles as drummer.
6/10 I went to a Beatles Concert in 1964, so I considered myself a Beatles Fan, but really I was always a Paul Fan, so only interested in him. So maybe that is why I scored so low!?
Yeah. He was so cute and sweet and innocent acting. I didn't read just listened
Got the same score
10 out of 10. But Pete Best was NOT the first drummer they had, and “Sexy Sadie” was mispronounced. Just sayin’ 😀
He was the first. They had other drummers for The Quarrymen, not The Beatles.
I got them all before the choices were even posted... but one of them actually has many correct answers... The 'Paul is dead' lyric clues are all over the place; A Day In The Life, She's Leaving Home, Don't Pass Me By, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Revolution Number Nine and Glass Onion all had lines interpreted as referring to the Death of Paul... "Now here's another clue for you all.... the Walrus was Paul." And there are also scores of visual clues in album cover art!
Love this band 10 out of 10 I thank you
Got them all. Saw them live in Chicago in 1966.
10 out of 10. but to be picky “Here comes the sun” was not written at anyone’s house (won’t say the answer in case anyone else takes the quiz), but in the garden 😂
At who's home, was the question. The garden is part of your home, anyway it's part of your house too .
08:07 totally surprised I thought it was Michael Jackson’s home when George used to hangout with MJ when MJ was about 10...
George wrote Here Comes The Sun at Clapton's living room, while Eric was with Pattie at his bedroom 😳
When George nog feeling better the more he creates good remarkable songs , deep songwriter
As a fresh Beatle fan, I use this video
for more knowledge about The Beatles
7/10 and I learned something, always a bonus :)
9/10 A fan for 60 years, I did not know that Sext Sadie was written with the Maharishi in mind!!
Pretty easy questions!, 10 out of 10
9/10. I forgot which album needed 700 hours of work on
8 per 10. Nice result, I suppose. I've been listening the Beatles since the beginning of this year.
C. Pete Best

Julia is kind of a trick question. It's a Beatles song credited to Lennon McCartney.(Same as Blackbird for Paul) Where as Mother was Lennon as sole writer...
Too easy. But then, I was born right about the time the Beatles were in Hamburg honing their act. I remember watching the Beatles cartoon show before I knew anything about bands and rock music. My first conscious memory was the broadcast of the rooftop concert in 1970.
Here's the test of a true Beatles fan: If you've ever heard and/or own "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) and the German Language versions of "She Loves You (Sie Liebt Dich)" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand (Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand)" which they recorded as a thank you to the people in Hamburg. If you can find copies of "Past Masters Volumes 1 & 2", you'll find a number of other rare gems such as "Rain", the B-Side of "Paperback Writer" which is one of my most favorite songs of all time. Paul's bass line is incredible, maybe his best ever. I'm a bass player, so I'm a little biased. The US and UK versions of "Rarities" also contain these songs as well as (slightly) alternate versions of other songs. It's amazing how their music has withstood the test of time.
Got all of them right didn't even need the options
Yep. I didn't need the options for most. I still got "Julia" wrong. 9/10
Despite the popular mythology, Pete best was not their first drummer. They had a hell of a time holding onto drummers in the early years. Even Pete was on-again-off-again. Before him was Colin Hanton, Tommy Moore and Norman Chapman. Colin was the Quarymen drummer before Paul or George even joined. Technically, that wasn't the Beatles...or was it? It was John, Paul and George, after all. "A rose by any other name" don'cha know.
Also, while "Strawberry Fields" was part of the Paul is dead rumors, it most likely started with the line from "A Day in the Life, "He blew his mind out in a car." The rumor that started after SPLHCB was released in '67 and spread heavily around college campuses in '69, came to my S.F. radio station soon after. At the time, I fully believed it. It was my first conspiracy theory! Wikipedia has a pretty good article on it.
I scored 8 of 10 because of those disputes with the quiz's answers. Otherwise, as an old Beatles fan, I naturally found this quiz to be super easy.
Got them all correct plus bonus points for extra info before questionaire finished the question.
The solo Lennon question was a tricky one for me. Given the choices "Julia" and "mother," I got slightly confused because "Mother" was a song from Lennon's solo years. That threw me off a little bit.
10/10 might have been harder for some if it wasn’t multiple choice, but not for me!
9. Most of them I found very easy. A couple made me think - Prudence Farrow (but I got it right), and "Julia". Although most were easy for me, I still enjoyed it, and learned something from the explanations.
Nice job on video, however, the most novice fan would know some of these questions. A true fan,( meaning someone somewhat obsessed, ) would know... Was John near- or far- sighted? What chord did John & Paul learn after riding buses to far side of Liverpool? Was Ringo ambidextrous? Did George take guitar lessons?
OOH. JOHN WAS EXTREMELY NEAR SIGHTED AND HE ALSO HAD ASTIGMATISM AND HIS RIGHT EYE WAS WORSE THAN HIS LEFT EYE (HIS GLASSES READ -8.25 FROM THE RIGHT AND -7.50 FROM THE LEFT)
@@devanfoster2376 Wow... now that is devotion. I thought I knew most things about my favorite Beatle. When every one was yelling "Paul" I was looking at John. Broke my little girl heart when I found out he was married... LOL. Thanks for sharing that.
10/10 Which Beatle was the first to drive a car? Which Beatle apart from paul was left handed?
that was ridiculously easy. With the exception of "Here comes the Sun", didnt even need to hear the choices. Still guessed that it was Eric Claptons House.
I guessed wrong on the 700 hour one, thinking that the double album The Beatles would win by default, but when you listen to some of those songs, you can see that it probably took half that time.
Love these 'hardest ever' quizzes made up by people who know next to nothing about the artist. I could have answered these without blinking when I was 12.
10/10 true fan
I got 9 out of 10. I didn't know John was the only one playing on "Julia", plus having "Mother" as an option was kind of confusing - that's John solo so what would he be more likely to play all the instruments on himself than a solo song?
10 for 10, had to think about a couple, but got them right.
9 out of 10. Didn't know Strawberry Fields Forever.
A+ for me.I hope I passed the audition.
9 good answers! But very easy for this huge beatle fan
9 out of 10. I missed the Sexy Sadie question. I just keep learning new things about the Beatles and I be been an avid Beatlemaniac for nearly 45 years.
Loved the first picture o question #6. Didn't know that one.
What a great image capture!
I got all these right without the choices
Questions 4 and 5 made me think, but I got all the right answers.
This quiz [and research] needs some work.
1. The Beatles' first drummer was Johnny Hutchinson who lasted for ONE song. He was replaced by Tommy Moore. George Harrison stated that Moore was the best drummer the Beatles ever had. After Moore left the group, Paul became the drummer and was occasionally replaced by either John Lennon or George Harrison.
Pete Best was signed as a drummer because the Beatles next gig in Hamburg required a 5-piece band.
3. At the end of "I'm So Tried," John can be heard mumbling backward: "Paul is a dead man," repeatedly.
5. Paul recorded "Yesterday" independently. All it was, was Paul on acoustic guitar which George Martin later added a string quartet.
9 out of ten, I did not know what song was recorded by John alone. I knew between Mother and Julia, decided mother should have know it being a Beatles quiz it would have been the Beatles song, but I figured they might have some questions of the Beatles after the Break up. 8 of ten I knew without the hearing the multiple choice. I wasn't sure about Dear Prudence until I saw the name.
AS a Beatles fan since 2/9/1964, I got 11 out of 10.
Actually Free as a Bird was a Lennon solo demo that was dubbed over by the other 3 surviving members. It wasn't really a Beatle song at all. Even George said so.
If your younger not into techie stuff ? .. It's not that easy .. 9/10...
It was a toss up between the White album and Sargt Pepper...
I now want too know how long the White Album took ?....
Got all but one.. did not know Maharishi was original name of the song, otherwise very easy questions for long time Beatles fans.
10/10 but question 4 has 2 correct answers. The white album (over 709 hours) and sgt pepper (700 hours)
I got 9. Well done on finding a question I really didn't know the answer to.
It was the Julia question.
9/10.. the 700 hours one threw me, I guessed it would be the White Album
Same. I can see why it was peppers but went with white album just for the sheer volume of work on there
got all 10!!! Beatles FOR EVER !!!
