Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The 80s versions are not good and the new remasters are a breath of fresh air compared to them, but you'll be hard pressed to find original vinyls but if you do see one hanging around just get it!

jenflor Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 does anybody else think that Sir Paul will headline one of the nights at glasto 2010? i really hope he heads down to aus next year, i want to be able to say that i at least saw one of the beatles live on stage. i've familiarised myself with 8 of their albums so far and at this point funnily enough, George is easily my favourite member. i just love every single song he wrote for them. Aw, I love George. His songs are all so great and really different... from "Within You Without You" to "Here Comes the Sun"... :heart: Plus, I love his sense of humor. Should I get Original albums or the Remasters.??? Remasters. I've got the originals (only on CD, not vinyl) and they're OK, but the remasters are def superior. watched the entire anthology documentary last week on you-tube :stunned: It's awesome, isn't it?? Hey, it's John's birthday today :daisy: Happy Birthday, John :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's awesome, isn't it?? by far, felt like I was studying for a test actually because I was trying so hard to soak up the information. And my sister sent me the white album, sgt. pepper and abbey road remasters for my birthday :dance: I'm about to listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he only toured the US this year, but hadn't been to the rest of the world with his new album, I hope that he'll play some shows next year. I think it's possible...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sir Paul at Glastonbury - could very much happen I feel since it's the big anniversary of the festival so they'll want THE biggest name available. I also think the Eavis's might choose a personal fave and success story they helped to create in 2002 like this band called Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Although Eavis would not reveal who the headline acts are set to be, he did disclose that they would be "traditional headliners" http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/somerset/hi/people_and_places/newsid_8295000/8295768.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Revolver's no where near Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberrySwing Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sgt. Pepper's, then Revolver and Abbey Road as third would be my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 at this stage this is how i rank the beatles album. this is only after a few months of listening to them. 1. Revolver This is in my opinion is their best "rock" album, being a rock music fan its only natural i enjoy this the most. 2. The White Album Would be no.1 had it not been for revolution 909. and it does feel 4 or 5 tracks to long. but then again cant think of many albums that have more than 20 amazing songs. 3. Abbey Road The most amazing thing about this album is that even after producing so many incredible records they still had this in them. 4. Help! An odd choice i know but this seemed like a coming of age for the band especially John, their first 4 records are very american 50s rock saturated but to me this feels like the start of their brilliance. 5.Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band No.5 might seem like an insult but the truth is, if any other band had made this album it would most probably be at number 1 or 2. A Day In The Life would get my vote for greatest ever closing track. 6. A Hard Day's Night This was the record that surprised me the most. It had me completely hooked for weeks. i hate over listening to an album, but i just couldnt stop when i first discovered this album. Painfully pop but never boring. 7. Let It Be gets far too much criticism. with songs like the title track and long and winding road and across the universe this is pretty damn awesome. 8. Rubber Soul not too sure what to say about this one. i might need to listen to it a few more times but Michelle is a really nice song. i might store this list away then do it again this time next year. im pretty certain it will be very different.

I loved their early stuff, and then loved their latter stuff even more. I think if I started at their older/latter stuff I would'n't appreciate the early songs as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
