My God.

I love all eras of the Beatles. John is still my favorite.

But good Lord, Paul was on another stratosphere around the time of Let it Be/Abbey Road/Ram. I sometimes wonder if the other two writers (Lennon and Harrison) were kinda like "This dude is cooking too much, we gotta bail".

I'm not sure they felt they could really keep up with him, nor do I think they wanted to.

Who writes 'she could have had Paul but I guess 'settled' for the husband who asked for this song to be made for her birthday'?? Imma ask men to shut up about Ringo's appearance he's cute af.

Does anyone else have one or a few Beatles tracks that you can recognize for their achievement or know are super loved or important to their catalogue but just don’t fit your taste at all? I ask because for me it’s Let it Be. I am a Paul stan and adore most of his softer songs but I just find it too repetitive and drags a little too long, I recognize it’s huge and impactful but for me it would barely be top 100 in their catalogue.

The 70s were very rocky. Like consider their biggest rivals, the Stones, they put out Exile on Main St in ‘72 - what would the Beatles’ “response” if you will have been?

What about the rise of all the heavier groups like Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin and such?

That this era was not only the music, but also all the big bands were arena acts

How could they have remained relevant say 72-73-74-75? What do you think they’d have done?

This is from the live All You Need Is Live performance video on youtube, and at this part (1:46) it sounds like George is singing the lyric but everywhere else it states that Lennon sang lead on both the studio and live version?

So we know 12 songs (some reportedly going as far back as 1966) from ATMP were written when George was still with the Beatles. They were either passed over or withheld by George. Adding his songs that made Beatles albums from Sgt. Pepper on to ATMP, can either John or Paul compete if you created an album of just their Beatles songs (not co-written) and songs written while they were Beatles on their solo albums? Basically, if you had to choose which one and only one you could take with you to listen to for the rest of your life which would it be?

Found this in Seoul, S. Korea while vinyl digging. Paid $5. Looks like early 70's pirate/ counterfeit copy of that era. LP is VG. Sounds good. Minor surface noise in quiet areas of the LP.

I want to watch the Let It Be documentary with my girlfriend, and I have a question: is it better for her to listen to the album first or watch the documentary?

I just want some accounts for the beatlemanics who went during the 1966 tour during that messy era lol
Thanks!

I'm thinking of buying the Rubber Soul box set, and also wanted to buy some additional associated merch. I was wondering if anyone else has bought apparel from the Beatles website. It seems overpriced, but I want genuine feedback. Also, is the clothing unisex? Most of the models are women.

We’ll be doing a tour of Liverpool and a tour of Abbey Road and the Hard Days Night filming locations. Any spots in either city we should make a point of seeing? Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Dungeon Lane obviously. The church, their houses, the cavern. Anywhere else? Thanks!
