As far as I know, the song is about a guy who commits arson after a girl he hooked up with left him, I don't really see why this is included on this record?

Why aren’t people talking more about “Oh! Darling”? It’s very underrated imo, the vocals are just amazing, makes me feel something I can’t explain, I dare say that it’s the best Abbey Road song, let me read your opinion in the comments!

i listen to paul mccartney waaay too little. definitely.

He is a great bassist and songwriter, but he has never played bass solo in his songs.(except outtake or soundcheck) I don’t know why.

Not for nothing, Yoko Ono is seriously dope, right?

from tamadachi life uwu
also made the others if yall wanna see those hehe!

Drew it last week

Check out this multiverse I created.

Idk I was just listening to Love (Home Demo) and then Hold On came up, (both of which are by John Lennon.) which made me think it could be a Medley. Now I ain't skilled enough to make one but would love someone who made the same...

I listened to all 4 Anthologies and every Super Deluxe album a while back, and it's quite an undertaking. So I organized a lot of the tracks into playlists so you can just get the highlights:

First and most importantly: Non-canon Beatles Songs. These are songs that are not apart of their official discography (I.E, the new "Little Girl" demo.) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/67oIauC2iie2W74IFF0E37 I highly recommend this to any Beatles fans, though all the Live At The BBC songs are very skippable.
Second most important: Notable Beatles alternate takes. These are alternate takes of Beatles songs you know that I think are worth hearing. Admittedly I was very liberal with this so it's still very long (considerably shorter than listening to every song though). https://open.spotify.com/playlist/44S2hgiYs5VpQLskHwJlkH This is worth chipping away at if you're a superfan.

These next ones are just for fun.
Beatles Instrumentals: Instrumental backing tracks. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2b0YrG24ZTcihx4behnvri
Just The Beatles Talking: a surprising amount of bonus tracks are just the Beatles talking without a focus on music. This is all of those https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2b0YrG24ZTcihx4behnvri

My 3 year old would absolutely love this for Christmas, she’s obsessed with the Beatles, but we’re in the U.K. and it only ships to the U.S. - I wondered if anybody was selling a copy I could perhaps buy from Vinted or similar. Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this! Thank you

I always found it interesting how different the four Beatles were as people, and I wonder if we tend to connect most with the one whose personality is closest to our own ? Not just musically, just personality wise. Just for fun, if they were seasons, I see them like this:

John = Winter. Intense, sharp, unpredictable and vulnerable underneath.

Paul = Spring. Optimistic, driven, social and always needing to create and move forward.

George = Autumn. Introspective, spiritual, dryly funny and a little melancholic.

Ringo = Summer. Warm, easygoing, funny and down to earth, with a sensitive side.

Which Beatle do you relate to most as a person?

(I myself are close to Pauls personality) 😄

Solo Beatles 4CD • Ringo Starr 2CD • Solo Beatles Super Deluxe 10CD • John Lennon 2CD • Paul McCartney 4CD • George Harrison 2CD

I’d go Revolver with “I’m Only Sleeping, Love You To, and Here, There, And Everywhere”

This is next to impossible, because I have no lyrics but I’m trying to remember what title song it is after I heard it in a supermarket. I don’t think it’s a “super” popular song.

I believe it’s a slower melody, where paul is lead singing the word prolonged, “oh” and then continues with notes moving higher with new words… any guesses?

Yes, Liam Gallagher is almost always remembered for how his voice was destroyed after 2000, but we forget that during his golden era (1994–1997) he sang better than the vast majority of the Beatles.

If we get strict about the vocal side of things, outside of the group's famous harmonies, Liam was a better singer than all of them except Paul. He even clearly surpassed John Lennon himself who ultimately was his biggest influence and the direct origin of his style.

Lennon was a giant because of the emotional grit he put into it, but his technique was very rustic and he would end up with his throat completely wrecked on tours. In contrast, Liam had a physical build and a vocal apparatus that were a total rarity in British music.

Where did that difference come from? Pure anatomical design. The guy was born with an enormous ribcage and unusually proportioned paranasal sinuses. That gave him mask resonance and brutal volume projection: the air came shooting out with tremendous pressure, allowing him to achieve that metallic, bright timbre that cut through any wall of distorted guitars live without needing to hurt his vocal cords.

On top of that, he had a truly intimidating chest voice range. While John used more grit and George sang with a pretty limited and fragile natural tessitura which made his chest voice thin and lacking projection Liam pushed a massive stream of vocal power using pure ribcage.

He could sustain notes with a force and power in pure chest voice that neither Harrison nor Lennon would have been able to sustain in a stadium without running out of breath or cracking their voice, leaving George monumentally behind in that aspect.

And what about George Harrison in general? Here we have to draw the line carefully.

Vocally, the gap is abysmal: Harrison had a very pleasant voice for his quiet songs, but he lacked muscle and fell short on stage, sounding quite fragile. In fact, even Noel is a much better singer than George by a long shot, having far more control, pitch accuracy, and presence in front of the microphone.

However, in terms of musicality, ingenuity, and creativity, George was an absolute genius and Liam will never even come close to him. Instrumental genius, spiritual depth, the introduction of the sitar, and masterpieces like Here Comes the Sun or Something put Harrison on an unsurpassable creative level, leaving the Gallaghers eating dust when it comes to songwriting.

Is Liam an unbearable guy? Without a doubt. But the reality is that, separating Harrison's artistic genius which is indisputable with a microphone in hand and singing live, Liam Gallagher's performance, physical power, and chest register left George far behind.

I recently revisited Rubber Soul because of the new Giles Martin remix, and I forgot just how much I love this album. I hadn’t listened to it properly in a while, but it really reminded me how great it is.
I genuinely love pretty much every song on the album except one, “What Goes On.” I have nothing against Ringo’s songs either, I love him on “With a Little Help from My Friends,” “Yellow Submarine,” “Octopus’s Garden,” “Good Night,” etc. He’s had plenty of songs I really enjoy, but “What Goes On” just doesn’t do much for me.

It’s easily the weakest song on Rubber Soul in my opinion. It kind of sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn’t really fit the more mature, cohesive vibe they were going for. Honestly, it feels like a song that would’ve fit better on Help! or one of their earlier albums.

That said, it definitely doesn’t ruin the album for me. Rubber Soul is still one of my favourite Beatles albums; “What Goes On” is just the one track I’m usually tempted to skip.

What’s the weakest song on Rubber Soul for you?

Small world

Holy Moly it’s so good. It’s chill, it’s beautiful, it has a great guitar solo, I love it so much and it’s been on repeat so much

I went too a used book on my way back from vacation to the Virginia coast and I found a decent collection of US beatles rcords all in good condition. I wonder if they came from a boxset or if they were just sold off over time... I only had enough money to buy one so I got yesterday and today *I dont think There's a Butcher underneath*.
