Hey, someone else with an appreciation for "Long, Long, Long"! I admit, it took a long (ahem) time for me to come around to that song, but once I finally gave it a good listen with open eyes and ears, as it were, it became one of my favorites, as well as one of my favorite George Harrison compositions. It's a beautiful piece of music from start to finish.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.For the benefit of Mr. Kite is one of my favourite shows ever.
I really loved the rearranged album for their LOVE show at Las Vegas. Why does it seem like it has disappeared off of Youtube and othe streaming sites?
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.Because you should buy the album.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Man, I love The Beatles.
If someone I cared about had been taken from this world, and someone was badgering me about it, I don't think I could have kept my composure to the degree that Paul did. Looking at the video, it's pretty fucking obvious that he doesn't want the horror of his friend's death shoved in his face, and that he wants to process it on his own terms. Is that really so much to ask?
On a more positive note, I wrote a passover version of "Ticket to Ride" called "Ticket to Freedom" not too long ago.

Feels good, don't it?"There's A Place" is up there with "We Can Work It Out" as my favorite songs of their early era.

New theme music also a boxGoing to give this a bump because of a song I just heard from then,thats the context of the video below
Some people consider this their 'worst' song,I don't think its that bad but I've certainly heard better songs from them
New theme music also a boxout of the blue I decided to do O Bla Di at karaoke recently and got a decent response. I wouldn't list it as among my favorites, but I never really saw it as anything but light-weight and fun. I think part of that is because the context of The White Album - if there were a ska-lite Silly Love Song in the middle of like, Revolver or something it would wreck the cohesion and maybe feel like Album Filler. Because it's on a pretty stylistically diverse double album, it doesn't take up much of the overall runtime, and the whole album is cohesively non-cohesive, if that makes sense.
Imo, I think a lot of music critics and fans hate this song because it doesn’t “fit” the legend/what people expect of later Beatles. Everyone mentions the psychedelia, orchestration and being experimental (especially the White Album) but a ditty like Oh-Bla-Dee doesn’t at all feel like a later Beatles work, especially from hardcore folk.
Probably a reason why no one mentions “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” either.
I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.Granted, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" doesn't get as much hate because it's basically a music hall-style song with death metal lyrics.

It's finally here!
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.Seeing several users on rateyourmusic try to classify the song as "Post-Britpop" makes me laugh my ass off.

The song sounds like an effective farewell... I think, even better than the finale of Abbey Road. Someone would criticize the use of IA on the song, but this time it saved an old relic from keep it buried forever.
So long, partners... :(
Wow, the Beatles... I spent my teenage years listening only to them. At one point I was able to recognise a song from its first chords, along with the CD and track number it was on. Now I don't listen to them that often but they still rank high on my list of favourite music. It is a bit hard to pick up only ten songs from them, but here is a try, in no particular order of preference: The Fool on the Hill, We can work it out, Ticket to ride, Your mother should know, Revolution, Back in the USSR, I want you (she's so heavy), Birthday, Long, long, long and For the benefit of Mister Kite, but I wonder if it would not be easier to list my 10 less favourite tracks.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.
