By the way, does everyone here attend the meetings of The Beatlemaniacs of the Villages every Friday morning at the O'Dell Rec Center from 10:00am until noon? If you're Beatles fan you should. You can hear any Beatles song that you want played live by a large number of musicians. |

Their first album, by the way was Please Please me and it had a lot of great songs on it. I Saw Her Standing There Misery Anna (Go To Him) Chains Boys Ask Me Why Please Please Me Love Me Do PS I Love You Baby It’s You Do You Want To Know A Secret A Taste Of Honey There’s A Place Twist And Shout Which of these do you think is terrible? |

Did you know that I Saw Her Standing there was never released as the A side of a single. In the US, it was the B side of I Want to Hold Your Hand and in the UK it was only an album cut. |
I have often thought (and I'm probably not the only person to make this connection) that the single event that made The Beatles the creative act they were, was their decision to stop touring in 1966. Had they still been a touring band, perhaps their songwriting would have been stuck in the more commercial style of songs that a 4 piece band could effectively emulate live. Instead, they were able to really open up the stops in both writing and producing. Yes, there are tribute bands (and of course McCartney live concerts) that do a great job recreating these later songs in a live setting, but they have the advantage of modern keyboards and synthesizers that can create sounds that could only be created in the studio at the time The Beatles first recorded the songs. I have never been a big follower of Wings, but from what I remember, McCartney's writing for Wings was mostly songs that could be recreated in a live setting, not the creative explosion that he achieved with the Beatles post-1966. Just my 2 cents worth.

Looking back now, having savored the Beatles being the soundtrack of my life since before Ed Sullivan to this day, I have to say I'm partial to the "middle period" from Rubber Soul to the White Album. Impossible to pick one song from that or any of their phases. As we know, the Beatles were one of the few bands that made consistently superb music throughout their entire career. It would be easier to name some songs I personally don't care for, either because of overplay or schmaltz. Those would be Michelle, Yesterday, Lady Madonna and especially Yellow Submarine. But even those were well-crafted tunes, just not my cup of tea.

None of them. Not a Beatles fan. Can listen to a few but have no favorites.
