How can ANYONE in Britain not be familiar with The Beatles after they are five years old? I'm stunned!
We're all getting old, that's what! :-)
On a Gen X Facebook group I’m in… this week there was a 48 year old who was “not familiar” with Green Day
Like, how on EARTH is that possible?
I understand maybe not being a fan… but just completely oblivious to their existence?
I’d have thought it was a troll if she didn’t get so angry when I asked how it was possible. 😂
Yeh, complete pile of bs by another either too lazy to work, or smart enough to work out that if you've got no talent you can always trade off someone elses.
I'm American and how can anyone in the world older than 5 not know them? 😂 But, he says he doesn't know Elvis, either...
And a Brit pronouncing zed as zee!?!?!?
Beatles songs are a never ending gift. The most important band. Every song has its own character, yet every song sounds like the Beatles ❤
There are not words in the dictionary to describe how unbelievably great The Beatles are. Just extraordinary.
Yo, well put !!!
Even true of Ringo’s drumming in particular. You can listen to the drum track by itself and recognize almost every song. The musicians always served the song.
Well said. 🙏❤️😊
I went through a Beatles phase in my adolescence, had all theirs albums!!
I'm 73 years old and The Beatles are still my favourite band of all time.
I am 72, and i will never forget seeing them in concert in 1965/
I've crunched the numbers many times throughout my life
The Beatles almost always emerge victorious
Their musical range takes the lead
@@portrait1001 The Beatles are the greatest band ever, and no other band is even close, they are in a category by themselves, and if you don't know this, you know nothing.
@@garymorris1856 you need to reread my comment friend. I'm a Beatles fan of 50 plus years
I'm 34 and they are still my favourite band... 😅
When the Beatles released this, NO ONE else was doing anything like it. The real reason the Beatles are always #1 is because they were true pioneers in the industry. Just subscribed. I think you are adorable! I am 70 so I am not being creepy, just being a Nana!!
"NO ONE else was doing anything like it." Heh, well not the case with this song... John Lennon lifted most of the music for this song from Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me"! They settled out of court with him. With so much original music the Beatles did write, this is about the only example of plagiarized work in their catalog. Still a great track though.
That’s right, but I think the original part about this track is not what they copied. The groovy Bassline and the guitar solos are what stands out and that was not stolen
This particular song shows a heavy Doors influence, itself derived from rhythm and blues music.
@@alecmisra4964 I`ve heard this song forever and never put it with the great Doors, but you`re right...
The Beach Boys were
The Beatles are their own genre. Centuries from now, I suspect people will still be listening to them, the way some people today still listen to Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.
And people then will likewise still appreciate the great composers, like the three you named. Timeless music is, well, timeless.
💯.
A friend who thought I only liked classical music once asked me what I listened to.
"The four Bs: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and The Beatles," I told him.
Most musicologists and music history scholars and music theorists also believe the Beatles will remain as big as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, and will be studied for centuries.
@@beckygrant2258 There is a college of music studying Beatles. I'm not sure if it's in England. They are as great as those classical musicians.
Funny that Harrison once said that 500 years from now, nobody will remember the Beatles, but everyone will remember Bob Dylan. Who knows?
Next time you see someone in their 70's remember this vibe you got now ..... this was THEIR time😂😂😂❤
I'm seventy, and you're absolutely correct.
Great response. I'm 66. I was 7 or 8 and I still remember when I first heard them on the radio and where I was.
I remember anticipating their arrival in the US and lying down on the floor to watch them on the Ed Sullivan Show.
I'm 57. I was 3 years old and my mom used to play the radio all the time and hear the Beatles...
I am 75 and this was my generation.
So nice to see a young man like you dipping his feet into “older” music. I am 67 and Beatles were a huge part of my life, from the 60;s through to mow
Released in 1969. 55 years young. No digital tech, no auto tuners - analogue music made by naturally talented musicians. Extremely versatile with a vast array of styles and sounds - this is just one of them.
💚Imagine an 11 year old girl in 1964 hearing The Beatles for the first time and being totally and utterly blown away by the music, the personalities and sweet magic of it all. It changed her life forever. Fast forward 60 years. She finds it hard to imagine living those 60 years without The Beatles as a constant rhythm and reality of her life. Then she gets to watch a young person experience them for the first time and she is filled with joy and wonder and appreciation and awe all over again because she sees that this young man is just beginning this journey and discovery that millions have experienced over the decades. She smiles through her teary eyes. Welcome to The Beatles. And thank you for letting me feel their magic again. 💙💜🩷🩵
I was 7 in 1964, and had just lived through the biggest earthquake in modern times in Anchorage, AK--9.2 on the adjusted Richter scale. The Beatles had just exploded on Ed Sullivan a month earlier, and the Beatles singing on the radio as everyone began to assess the total devastation around us kept us holding it together as we assessed the damage and began to rebuild. The Beatles have been the soundtrack of my life ever since. They're utter perfection consistently moves me to tears, even after 60 years.
Same age as you,. I've just posted about the excitement I felt waiting to see what innovative sound was coming next. Wasn't it great? I was thinking whether this young man felt the goose bumps and the swelling in his chest that I felt, and did again. Didn't he choose a great track to start with?
My mid-30s daughter is training her 3-month old daughter to enjoy The Beatles and The Who. We raised her well. Tbf, my wife and I had been too cool for school about 1960s groups and were more into glam and then punk with The Who, Bowie, and Mott the Hoople as main threads. I only got into The Beatles in 1999 when my 12-year old daughter heard my CD of Sgt Pepper and loved it
@@cuebj You must have been a bit into them to have actually got the album.
Me too. Age 11 in 1964.
The Beatles are the biggest and most influential band EVER and that's a fact.
Yeah and somehow this guy got facial hair before ever hearing them. What a loser
They did some real damages to other US based band members with “ Seargant Pepper Lonely Heart club Band “ record. When a certain West coast bands leading songwriter listened to it, all he could say was” they did it and repeated many times in a mental institution after” since that he is on drug and newer wrote a song.
I'm a 75 year old grandma, I remember this song from when it was new. Hearing it now it STILL gives me goosebumps. God Love You for bringing back great memories for me.
The BEST group that has ever come along. Each song is totally different from the last. All great.
You’ve just listened to the greatest band of all time, and that’s official 👍
Official, according to who?
@@darylfoster7944It’s definitely official, the Beatles are without a doubt the greatest and most influential band that has ever existed. I would venture to say that some of the bands you enjoy might not have existed without them. Music is subjective of course, but the facts don’t lie, do your research.
@@darylfoster7944 Public opinion
It’s fact, they are the greatest band that has ever existed. Do your research if you don’t believe it.
@@scottborenstein8291 depends where you get your information from.
Forbes has them at number 2 and zeppelin at 1. and that is al subject to mainstream radio.
Who are The Beatles?....only the most influential, and some would say, greatest band of all time. I'd reserve some time to really appreciate them.....about 50 years should do it😊
lol !
💯.
A record per week, or even a month.
Worth EVERY MINUTE.
I think you said it well. I was 1 of the boomers who heard this all the 1st time around. We didn't know just how lucky we were. We just thought that fantastic singers who knew how to play instruments and had real talent would keep on coming. I and so glad that your generation are mature enough to listen and know that this is great music and there is tons of it out there. ENJOY. 😁😁
Yes, your ears have just received a gift! It was fun watching you enjoy it. Keep listening. You will get a great education! I chuckle as you call this music the "good old days". Seems like only yesterday to me...
Hmm . . . you see, I was born in 1958, in the UK, and so I grew up hearing the Beatles.
But - and I've never made any secret of it - even as a little kid, I always preferred the Stones.
You're so lucky having just scratched the surface and moving on to more great Beatles music. Put on your headphones, close your eyes and enjoy.
In 300 years, when kids in music class learn about the music of the 20th century, there will be a chapter about the Beatles.
Should be two chapters. One covering the era heard in the Red Album, and another for the Blue album
them and Elvis
I hope there's no chapter about the rolling stones
@@Alisonsgachaverse , who?
@@kmichaelp4508 HAHAGA
Ringo is so on top of the beat that it gives Paul more freedom to play melodies on his bass. When you listened to the vast majority of the Beatle's catalog you realize there has not been anyone like them ever.
Ringo was one of those rare drummers who never played flashily, just sufficiently to add seasoning to the song. Even more unusual was how he could play slightly off the beat without actually missing the beat, leading the listener through the rythm. There isn't a world-class drummer who doesn't respect Ringo.
Ringo one of the few drummers who actually wrote his drum music out, he also tuned each drumhead to a specific note.@@Gill3D
the greatest musicians of all time & in the universe!!
My oldest son says Ringo is the greatest rock drummer, he does his job, doesn’t show off by doing long unnecessary solos, does his job and then goes home.
@@carlacook5181 ringo was always a good drummer! so is john cowsill of the cowsills & latterly of the beach boys & now duetting with his wife, vicky peterson, who was a member of the bangles!
No drum machines, no computer stuff. Four guys who actually played their instruments and sang.
And recorded it on 4 track tapes. Pure genius.
and wrote their own music too, it wasn't written for them...
@@garmit61 ABBEY Road was 8 Track
Five guys perhaps? Did Billy Preston play on Abbey Road?
@@samnichles447 yes and Eric Clapton
Paul jamming on the bass, Ringo playing dirty on the drums. Awesome to the max.
It’s 60 years later and we are still talking about the Beatles. They still sound great. They still sound refreshing.
This is one of Ringo's finest moments. NOBODY can copy what he does on the drums on this song
He did a great job on Something too. I can't think of the opening the song without of Ringo's opening drum riff. Come Together and Something back to back on one album, and to open the album!
Left handed drummer on a right hand kit then add his talent and wow!
I was a teenager in the 60s. Best music ever in the 60s through 80s. Music today can in no way compare.💚
I tell everyone that we had the BEST music - so much talent!
Agree 💯😁
The greatest band ever. We were lucky in the 1960's that there were a number of great groups and The Beatles were the greatest.
I can remember song battels on the radio between them and the Rolling Stones.
Great reaction..also..great reaction on..'Come Together '..
Keep digging.. BEATLES are the beat!!!!!
Of course you like it. They're the greatest band of all-time!
55 years old and still better than anything today. You only have a couple of hundred to go!
Without the Beatles we wouldn't have had the music we have today. Back in the 60's they influenced everyone to be more experimental. I read Bob Marley bought the Sergeant Peppers album and it opened him up to where his direction was going to go as an example, but it was across all genres, Artists realising they could do whatever they wanted as opposed the mainstream. (Jazz not included, they already did it).
As an old geezer of 68, The Beatles were the soundtrack of my teenage years, so of course I’m going to believe it was the best music ever, the way my parents felt about Benny Goodman or Glenn Miller. So it’s wonderful to hear a Gen-Z tell me that no, I was actually right. Thank you.
It's called an "eargasm". The Beatles will do it to you every time!

I was a pre-teen when the Beatles were coming out with hit after hit non stop. It was amazing. They still are.
My sister and I were about 5 and 6 when the Beatles hit America. Not many people remember but, the Beatles had a cartoon in the 60's. We never missed it and people were (and are!) surprised because we knew all the words to so many Beatles songs. Wish whoever owns the cartoons would release them on DVD or Blu-ray.
I was a 10-year-old teenybopper (the prime audience for the early Beatles music) when they showed up in the US music scene. I loved Ringo so much I wrote him love letters using the words of Beatles music😂 I was pretty naive.
Yes we felt it in our souls, so beautiful to see your experience with them, sweet as ever!
Remember that only the best music survives the test of time. In every decade most popular music is just a short-term buzz, and only a very few will survive to become classics. In 20 years from now most of today's music will be forgotten, but classics from today will still be heard - they will survive because they touch your heart & soul.
Ringo was the best drummer for the best band ever. His drumming is unique. Great reaction.
The 'this beat' comment sums that up. I can't name another drummer where I can name the track just from the drums. Ringo is a metronome, he is on beat every time. He plays a right handed kit, but is left handed so has a unique sound. He knew when to fill and when to stay silent. In short, he knows his stuff.
Yep 👍
Take any band from any genre from the past 50 years and behind them, hovering over them like a spectral presence, is The Beatles. They really are that influential. They changed everything, forever.
You explained it perfectly. Back in the day, we were just, simply, "blown away".
and every new song they did was the best!
The Beatles are and always will be the greatest band ever
They were such an incredibly varied band. You could listen to five songs of theirs and think you were hearing five different bands. You've got some great listening coming if you dive into them!
No matter who it is, your favorite musician, probably loves The Beatles.
And Elvis inspired them. 😂
@@conniegaylord5206 Yeah...I don't know about that. Maybe he was an inspiration? But it's pretty clear that the entire British Invasion sound, is derived from American blues, not rock and roll, or rockabilly, or gospel, the genres that Elvis operated in.
@@conniegaylord5206 They liked Elvis but were much more inspired by Muddy Waters and a dozen other American blues musicians along with Buddy Holly. The even came up with the name 'The Beatles' as a tribute to Buddy Holly's band 'The Crickets'
The inspiration for many musicians…
Jokes on you, my favorite is Mozart
Nice reaction :) It's Beatles, with an 'A'. Welcome to your first introduction to the greatest, most influential band of all time. Enjoy the ride :)
Most influential? Possibly. Greatest? Highly questionable.
@@darylfoster7944They ARE without question the greatest band that has ever existed. Do your research if you don’t believe it.
@@scottborenstein8291 I don't base my decision on most sales. Music is subjective.
@@darylfoster7944 Greatest is subjective. For many (including me), they are. For many others; they're not.
@@darylfoster7944I’m not going by sales alone. It doesn’t matter if you or others like their music or not, they are the greatest band ever.
WHAT? You have to listen to ALLLLLL The Beatles music -
I am old enough to remember Beatle-mania when I was a kid,
there has and never will be the like again. Fantastic years!
I was born in the 60s and my heart warms to your reaction and insight to the fabulous musical environment our generation grew up around.. on the radio, in bars, restaurants, cars... Peace !
Th Beetles literally changed the world
🌎 ❣️ 🌎
In many ways for sure! I'd suggest to listen the whole Abbey Road album...
💚 One day, when you're 72, you too will look back on the first time you heard the Beatles. They changed contemporary rock for an entire generation, and beyond.
Actually I think they changed the world for a moment in time.
"COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW OVER ME".
It felt different somehow.
@@anzacman5 And what a moment that was.
I grew up with the Beatles - they were the first super-group and nothing or no-one has surpassed them in terms of talent, song-writing, melody and sheer talent!
And the very first time that I heard the Beatles I was 14 years old American, I am 73 years old now! These boys were classic and gave me great memories! ❤️'d them!!
Feb 9, 1964 I was on the floor in my grandmother's living room watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Everything changed after that moment. They were the soundtrack of my life as a child, teen......and I love them still. You ought to check out their earliest work and then watch their progression in what is actually a very short period of time!!! Rubber Soul and Abbey Road are my favorite albums....
Same here. Ed Sullivan gave me my drug as a youth. Couldnt get enough of them.
@@barbarastrayhorn4667 me too
I remember my mom calling me into my parents' bedroom to hear "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on the AM radio. A fan was born.
My older sister never did the dishes so quickly as she did the night the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan’s show. She HAD to see them!
Same here on grandma's floor watching with 2 of my aunt's that were dissing the Beatles & praising Elvis 😊
Timeless and brilliant - sums up the Beatles perfectly. Best band ever.
It’s a great day in anybody’s life when we realise that our parents and grandparents were listening to some great tunes as well.
That's why The beatles are the best band EVER!!!!
It’s great how impressed you are with this song. What is even more impressive is their whole evolution during their career. Try to listen to their songs in order of how they were released and they’ll blow you away even more. They started out good, they ended up being the most influential band in music history.
As an old dude today who was 18 when the album "Abbey Road" hit the market, and its singles were played on the radio stations, I believe this song hit you with the wow factor the way it hit us back in the day.
Absolutely love your expression : “I feel like my ears have been baptized”. That’s a great line. 👍
Please keep exploring and enjoying them, because their music is absolutely magical and transforming. They belong to the ages.❤
When the Beatles were making their music they influenced lives all over the world, mine included. Sadly my friend you were not there to experience it first hand, it was a magical time, bur there is nothing to stop you catching up now. You have started down the road and if you continue you too will travel through a magical experience and hooefully learn the true meaning of musical genius.
It wasn't all magic, sadly. Vietnam, Nixon, Manson, Weather Underground, assassinations, and worst of all (for me), the breakup. But the Beatles helped us make it through all that, and continue to be a positive force for good.
@@StanvansandtThe breakup is always the kicker! I sympathise.
Yeah, I always wonder, what happened to the magic? Where did it go?
My best guess is that it was commercialized.
That killed it.
Music became a product to market.
This is my first time watching you and I’m loving that it’s the Beatles! Please go down this rabbit hole you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the great reaction.
Ditto, especially to the great Ringo Starr, drummer! But o, John Lennon (lead singer & wrote it), amazing harmonies of John, Paul, and George, Paul's incredible bass line, and George on lead guitar.
All working like a well-oiled machine
That’s a extremely deep Rabbit Hole 🕳️ I might add
This is also my first experience of your channel and is so much fun to see a young bloke get blown away by music I have love from my childhood.
The thing about The Beatles is the breath of their music. You’ve got a lot to enjoy.
It's all about their patience, musicianship, creativity and the miracle of 4 lads from Liverpool meeting and making some of the greatest music ever before the age of 30.
Come Together was one of The Beatles' later hits. Their earlier music was very much influenced by 1950s rock 'n rollers such as Little Richard and by American R&B. Later they were teamed with producer George Martin who had a classical music background and his influence led to him becoming known as "the fifth Beatle". Certainly, their style of music became much more sophisticated and they developed innovative recording techniques. Another influence was Ravi Shankar who played the sitar and made a big impact on guitarist George Harrison. That's just a brief outline of The Beatles' journey. You might find it entertaining to listen to their work chronologically and experience their developing maturity, changing music forever.
What do you mean “ later “ George Martin came into the fold as it were. George Martin was there since day one!
It's not a big moment for us, it's a big moment for you.
The Beatles had so many different sounds. So many of their songs were stand-alone in their uniqueness. Please listen to more of their hits. You will be surprised at their variety.
You need to start listening from their beginning to appreciate how a band can evolve from album to album. The Beatles were such a great influence to so many of today’s artists, and I am glad that you are taking the time to learn more about them.
It's hard to take in that there are people who have never heard (or even heard of!) the Beatles, but then time marches on. Fun to watch you younger folks experiencing them for the first time.
I'm a Millennial and The Beatles (spelled with "ea" and not "ee") is my favorite music group! So many great songs!
Been a fan of The Beatles since 1964.
The Beatles had all the tech they ever needed. They had their instruments, and their voices. The rest is pure genius.
Their progression as a recording act in just seven short years will never be surpassed.
In the journey of The Beetles they each became various different people
Always Changing 💯💯💯
Beatles. Please spell thier band name correctly.
@@bigdaddyromance6692 Please spell "their" correctly
I am in my 60's The Beatles are still my favorite.Love your reaction
The Beatles cross all generations - they are just that excellent!
I'm glad you got into this, and I'm not surprised that Gen-Z are finally tuning out of the sallow pitch controlled auto-tuned nursery rhymes they call music, The Beatles and others had more talent in their finger nails than singers today have at all
The Beatles were a group of the 1960s. Their impact on music is still being felt today. And will be long into the future. Not just pop and rock. But contemporary and classic. Four musicians with so much talent in one group. I am an older man in my 70s. As someone who lived in Southern California in the mid 60s, I can remember where popular music was stalled with recording companies were using the careful sanitation of 'popular' music. Bobby Darren and his ilk. Then my family moved to the U.K. My fondist memory was a Saturday night live on ITV in the U.K watching the the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who jamming live on television. It was never recorded. But I still remember watching them going through their rock and blues friffs together.
I was six years old and happily listening to Peter and the Wolfe as six year olds' did back then. All of a sudden, I'm the car with my brother (who was 10 years older and 16 at the time) and the song Help comes on the radio. I was stunned! I asked my bro....what and who is that?!?!?! He said that's The Beatles. I was very lucky that I had a brother 10 years older and a sister eight years older who exposed me to fantastic and magical music. So.....from then on I became a child rock lover. At six years old!
Hear you. My introduction was, sadly, on 8th December 1980. I was 5. A child in USSR. My parents were watching the news. That's when I heard HELP. My reaction was, who is singing, I love it. Love the Beatles!
I loved your reaction Jay, I come from the days when this album was new and I get tears in my eyes seeing young people today enjoying music from my youth. I agree totally with your description of today's music.
The Beatles impact on music CANNOT be overstated....they changed the world.
Ok... after you've listen to A BUNCH of Beatles... like their 20 or so biggest hits.
Watch the movie "Yesterday"
That movie is criminally under rated.... both Himesh Patel and Ed Sheeran are brilliant in it.

Yes to all of this!❤❤❤
Great Speech completely agree about modern times…. pure heart
“revolution”
Why are you telling him to listen to some honestly not-so-interesting songs like When I'm 64, She loves you and I want to hold your hand over masterpieces like Strawberry fields forever, While my guitar gently weeps, A day in the life and Nowhere man. I know music is subjective, but still...
Born again ears works for me! To me, this music is pure genius. So cool that you are open to it. Love the channel. ❤❤❤
As now 76 I was one fortunate enough to grow up with The Beatles. When at first they made American like Rock, I liked that, and when they started making their own tunes, I also had grown up. Try listen to: In my life! And lately a newly made Beatles Song recording becoming number one, once again, more than 50 years after the Group ended, and the two members have died!
And the white VW on the picture with the four walking over Abbey Road, belonged to John Lennon!
Nice! The Beatles recorded about 220 songs in 7 years and changed everything. So, enjoy the journey 😉
Yes, the Beatles are a miracle that will never happen again.
To really understand the phenomenon that was the Beatles, you need to listen to their music chronologically from 1962-1970. It is the story of the evolution of rock'n'roll from fun, silly love songs, to meaningful, progressive music, all led by the Beatles' creativity. What they accomplished in those few years is a once-in-a-millenium event. This song is from Abbey Road, the last album they recorded (and next-to-last released).
I'm afraid if you were not there at the time, no amount of listening will make you understand the impact of the Beatles on society. Forget Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and even, God forbid, Ed Sheeran; yes they are massively popular but the Beatles changed everything.
@@manfred747 I was there. Yes; it was a cultural thing as much as a musical thing.
I'm in my 70's and my kids heard the Beatles in the car and loved it.
Now their kids agaed from 5 to 25 love it know it well enough to identify and sing along to.
The Beatles are without a doubt the greatest band of all time. As you’ll soon find out, there’s the Beatles and then there’s everyone else. When The Beatles broke up, none of them had even turned 30 years old.
Great reaction! The Beatles became the most influential rock band ever. They evolved with every album. Their songwriting and talent was as good as it gets. They were four funny guys and had unique personalities. All came from the same town in England. (three of them met as teens, I think Ringo was around 20 when they met him playing in another band). They went on to become the worlds most popular band. Lightning in a bottle!
If you listen to their early stuff, which was amazing as well, you can see the amazing progression of their music over 6 short years.
Yes, the progression was quite remarkable and not sure if any other band has duplicated it.
Ozzie explained the effect the Beatles had on the world. He said the world was black and white before the Beatles and they added colour to the world. Best description I've heard
I like you J you have your heart connected to your soul. I'm 73. The beatles were new when I was a teen. I still listen to whatever is new. New is always different.That is what's good about it. It's really essential to realize that Tuesday comes right after Monday, and the present creates the future. You are a good man, Jay Flex. I'm glad I got to listen to your opinions. I will definitely listen more
The thing about the Beatles is that over the course of a decade they developed more than perhaps any other band. You should sample songs from the different stages.
Welcome to the music. I was born and raised in Liverpool and was 20 when this album came out. Their first album "Please Please Me" was released in 1963. First single "Love Me Do" (not from an album) also 1963 was the beginning of the Mersey sound, which changes music forever. Enjoy this rabbit hole and check out Steely Dan stuff too. Thank you for allowing me to re-live this experience through you. Great reaction!💚
One thing you enjoy about discovering The Beatles is you will always be surprised. There will be times when you think "wait...this is the same band?". You are in for a treat.
That whole album is fantastic.
"Ears were baptisted"...lololol
BEATLES...greatest band EVER!!?!
I was 13 years old when the Beatles released their first record. You have a long and marvellous journey listening to this band's records. They will never be forgotten !
It was 1973, and my Dad just came home from work. He had two 8 track Beatles, Abbey Road tapes with him. He tossed one to us kids and said, "This one's for you, hands off mine." It was cool.
JayFlex you are a very discerning young man! You would have loved it back in the day!
Don't care what any young or not so young person thinks, Beatles music is fuckin immortal, will be remembered and listened to forever !
The Beatles were ground breakers, they had hippy music - Come Together, one of the first Heavy Metal songs - Helter Skelter, one of the most covered deep songs - Yesterday, upbeat - Help, soulful - Hey, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. #HOG UK
They wrote hundreds of songs and no two songs are alike. Each one is so unique, only a bar or two in and you know which song it is. This song - Come Together is one of my all time favourites. Ringo is an awesome musician - his drumming is not just tapping out a set beat, but tossing in riffles, toms etc in places you wouldn't think of and make the song even better.
When you think about it, so many of Beatle songs were about "people": She's leaving home, nowhere man, paperback writer, Eleanor Rigby, Lady Madonna, Come Together, Hey Jude, Sargent Pepper, Admiral Halsey, etc.
“A Day in the Life” Beatles extraordinaire
My favorite
Yep, my favorite Beatles song.😎👍
The thing to remember about the Beatles is that they have such a vast repertoire of music that you can't just listen to 20-30 songs and think you've got them figured out. You'll then listen to song 31 and it will be a genre that you have not heard them perform before. Their differing styles influenced a wide variety of performers even to this day.
I know songs and artists back to the 20's (of course the masters also) It's amazing how young people don't know great music.
The Beatles have such a large catalogue of hit songs, that I can guarantee that you will have heard at least one somewhere. So many of their songs have been covered by other artists it's almost impossible not to have heard their songs.
Im 67 and grew up with this great music. I love the younger generation checking it out. Probably over a thousand great songs to go. I had 890 records and just scratched the surface. Enjoy your journey of classic Rock and R&B❤
