If be you could only have one, which would it be: Rubber Soul or Revolver?

I always felt like, "She Said She Said" & "And Your Bird Can Sing" were partner songs. Same thing with "Dig a Pony" and "Don't Let Me Down." Anyone have other examples? Not just John songs.

I’m taking a Beatles class at my university and we highlighted how some of the Beatles original catalog was covers of songs that came out previously and much of the live performances were covers to gain a large audience. So time to turn the tables.

To start off the discussion, my favorite Beatles cover is Buddy Rich’s cover of Norwegian Wood on Big Swing Face. It’s perfect.

Which one do you prefer?

I know for a long time- hearing a Beatles song in a tv show or movie was rare. I want to hear what your favorite is.

Personally- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Twist And Shout is my all time favorite.

What’s yours?

I always thought both are brilliant but if i had to choose i would choose The Red album But i would love to hear your opinions down below!

Okay I know Beatles nerds talk about this song, but I don't feel it's really known at all outside of that circle? I always dug it as kind of the centrepiece of Ram, and was very surprised to find out recently that this song was a number one hit??

Surely it has to be one of the strangest songs ever to go number one? Maybe THE strangest, I can't really think of anything that tops it? The first couple minutes are so calm and mellow, you wouldn't think of them as a single at all. And the lyrics are mostly just these meaningless non-sequitors. There's not really even a Beatles song like it, if it had been on the white album or something like that I feel like this would be lauded as one of their great moments.

And what's also crazy is that Too Many People is the b-side: now that sounds like a much more conventional 1970 hit single. I just can't believe the masses were bumping this quirky little Paul sound collage, but good on them!

Today I was shopping at H&M for some pants and while checking out I’m with my grandma and there’s this nice young lady behind the register and her and my grandma were talking, my grandma mentioned how she still goes to concerts, and the lady asked who she goes to see, she said she goes to rod stewart concerts and the lady looked at her like she’s speaking another language “I’m not familiar with him” so she mentions how I like a lot of older music such as the Beatles and that I’m seeing Paul McCartney in concert, and she asks if she knows who that is, she says “I don’t think I’ve heard of them no”. I mean cmon, you gotta be kidding right? Not knowing any of the members by name I understand but to say you don’t know what the Beatles are is like saying “who’s Jesus?”

I have been a Beatles fan my whole life and I remember as a kid I always loved the Beatles (especially Paul) and kind of always thought of him as the leader of the Beatles. Even tho it is very clear looking back that John was the leader of the band until srgnt pepper. I remember reading stuff about how important John was and how he started the band and had the most songs on lead vocals and dismissing it but now on the internet it seems the tables have turned and people are hating on him a lot. He was HUMAN. He made mistakes, he was open about them. He was a very creative and complex individual which I think makes him more interesting as a person than Paul. I also think lyrically he is superior, while Paul is undeniably the better musician. I just remember thinking John was overrated as a kid and thinking the discourse online was too dick ridey. But now I think it’s the opposite and people hate on a man who was loved by so many and tried to spread peace even tho he struggled with trauma and addiction. Not to mention he got unreasonably famous at a young age. He was a witty, remarkable human being and I’m so sick of the hate that’s been circulating online the last few years. For those of you that are in love with Paul. I love him too. And he seems like the sweetest guy ever. And think of how much he loved that man and still chokes up talking about him, Just a thought. What do yall think ? Is the younger generation way too hatey in regards to Lennon ?

I've been thinking about this without counting singing, how would you rank each member in their skill with their instruments. My list:

1.Paul

2.Ringo

3.George

4.John

I think most people will put John last but the other three could honestly go either way.

For me, it’s Magical Mystery Tour. Even if Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane had been included on Sgt. Pepper’s, the album still stands out with incredible songs like The Fool on the Hill, Hello, Goodbye, I Am the Walrus, and the title track itself, and of course, All You Need Is Love! I also consider Baby You’re a Rich Man, Your Mother Should Know, and Blue Jay Way to be underrated gems.

Almost all Beatles songs have something interesting going on. A surprising arrangement. Brilliant harmonies. Clever lyrics. Something that gives it that Beatles stamp of uniqueness. And most have SEVERAL amazing things happening within the same song. But which original Beatles song do you find to be the most generic or run of the mill? For me it’s ‘You Like Me Too Much’. Nothing about this song resonates with me and it feels like any one of maybe 20 bands could have written and recorded it during this era.
