I keep playing the first disc i really enjoy the rhythmic sounds of ob-la-di ob-la-da .
I think i have the beatles live at the bbc on tape somewhere .Ill be on my way and, a shot of rhythm and blues are typical beatles tracks .

That's a lot of posts there, BB.

Aint i allowed to post at all??

Of course you are. Just making an observation.

Well im trying to chat and doing that in a few words is a bit boring .
so whats your favourite beatles album??

I'm not sure. I'm being awkward, but to be honest I haven't really decided. Abbey Road's up there though.

well mine is between rubber soul and revolver.

Although no one asked me, I'll put in my two cents here. I have to go with Abbey Road as a favorite. Revolver is right up there too, but Abbey Road just edges it out.

Was listening to Let it be this afternoon the magic of the beatles is still there in that album .I dont think theres ever been a group that have been so intwined so musically like them four .

There was a whole lot of talent concentrated in that little foursome. They played so many different instruments among them that it's no wonder they all (except Ringo) had such successful solo careers. Each of them could do it all. Ringo, unfortunately, had to get by with a little help...

Hello just listening to more beatles stuff .and i happened to come across a song i hadnt heard for a while its called RAIN really like it

Anyone have a favorite Beatles song? If you ask me, that would be like asking if you have a favorite rainbow. One that I find myself humming a lot is "A Day in the Life."

Mine is .in my life

Going back to the point of the beatles levings messages in their songs.
Whats all the business about paul being bare footed on the front cover of the abbey road album all about??

That's supposed to be one of the many, many clues on that album cover that he was dead. I forget exactly why barefoot=dead, but that's how it was interpreted. He's also out of step with everyone else (i.e., his left leg is extended when everyone else's right leg is, or vice-versa) Again, how this means he was dead is a mystery to me, but people took it seriously at the time.

My favorite "clue" was the VW in the background. The license plate number is something like 29-IF or IF-29, and 29 was supposedly the age he would have been IF he had lived! I read somewhere that that VW is still around and was sold at auction for some enormous amount of money.

It just goes to show that if you look for something, you'll find it. People wanted to find clues that Paul was dead, and BOY did they find them!

It's all here: A506648

A day in the life is also one I hum quite often, though favourite at the moment is back in the USSR

Abbey Road is my second favourite album, have a look at the best album thread if you haven't already

...although the most clues were very inaccurate...
-John mumbled 'Cranberry sauce' instead of 'Í buried Paul' on Strawberry fields
-Paul would be 27 and not 28 when the Abbey-Road-cover-photo was shot, so the '28 IF' was wrong anyway.
The only creepy 'clue' is a marvellous piece of coincidence; in the last few minutes of I Am The Walrus there's some spoken words like: "Oh, is he dead", "Bury me, bury me, bury my body" "Oh untimely death"...they are from a radioplay-version of King Lear that played on the evening that the final mix-down of the song was taking place.
It's almost stranger than fiction!

I was alive at the time **giving away my age** and I recall how seriously people took this. There were girls crying in my school because they couldn't stand the thought that Paul, "The Cute One," was dead.

Well he kept making great music so I don't care whether he is just an imposter

GT i agree pretty good replacement .
To tell the truth i think its aload of rubbish.

In the 35 years since they broke up there's not bin a group that has come anywhere near them .

except perhaps queen. Close but not bettered
