so jealous of you. Rubber Soul and Revolver are my favorites. you caught them at a great transition in their sound. i was ony 1 !/2 year old.



Mother Nature can be so cruel =o(
Don't be TOO jealous ... I only remember hearing what seemed like 8 notes total for all of the screaming [mine included]. I couldn't speak for a week ... ahhhh youth =o)


You were probably pretty lucky [sounds like you may have been musically inclined early on] to catch some of the great music created by many bands in the 70's and early 80's ... so, not SO far behind =oD

^ They didn't become known for their songwriting until years after they became popular. Also, there are very few examples of good songwriting in those early songs (first 3 albums).

If you're trying to tell me that a song like "She loves you" became popular because of its great lyrics, you must be insane. For example:

She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad.

In the beginning the Beatles was, among other things, best known for their catchy melodies, which incorporated a lot of harmonies and a steady rhythm section. The most important reason they played so well together, both on stage and in the studio, was that they had a lot of practice at it. One random fact; their first album "Please Please Me" was recorded in less than 10 hours, so they obviously were great musicians and used to playing together. It wasn't until later (around the release of Rubber Soul" in 1965) that their lyrics really started getting excellent.
