The Beatles! Opinions?

   What does everyone think of The Beatles? Probably the most important band since the invention of the radio, so what do you think of them? Favourite song, album, member? Do you even like them? Are they overated? Personally I find Lenon abit overated, he made amazing music, but people get abit carried away with praising him in my opinion. My favourite beatles tracks at the moment are: Day In The Life, Octopusses Garden and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. My favourite album is Abbey Road, closly followed by Sergent peppers (though I dont have them all. :cry: )

   A little over praised I guess but still one of the best bands ever. favorite songs: Yellow Submarine All Togather Now! Sargent Pepper. Others I can't remember. Ever notice how so many rock stars have kids but they hardly ever become rock stars themselves or at least good ones? Ever noticed Elvis Presley's kid, Ozzy Osborne's kids, John Bonham's boy? (He's as good a drummer as his dad but his band was never exactly legendary) ect ect? If my mom or dad was a rock star I'd sure as hell be one too! I tell people that on my mom's side of the family I'm related to Neil Young and on my dad's side of the family, Pete Townshend. Exept "Townshend" in England is spelled different over there they eat it up! They're like: Your a Rock N Roll princess, you're awsome! You must be so good at guitar! Are you in a band? How often do you see Pete? Tell him I love "Who are you" next time you see him!... It's so damn awsome I can't even believe it. Inspired me to play guitar actually.... Never know we COULD be related... haha I better start saying Angus and Malcom Young are on my mom's side of the family too I can't belive people believe a word of any of it...

   Im the complete opposit. Because if your parents were huge rockstars, you would always have that overshadowing you if you tried to enter the industry. You would be under alot of pressure, because people will expect you to be amazing. My dad was in a band and got a record deal, but then it broke up just before they were gonna release their 1st single. Shame, but very unlikely they would have gotten anywhere anyway.

   Aww what makes you say that? What was your dad's band like? Anyway you make a good point people's expectations would be twice as high as your mom or dad's because you are the spawn and everybody would be expecting you to be just as good and have to carry on the family business.

   Aww what makes you say that? What was your dad's band like? They wernt bad, and played regularly in pubs n clubs ect. But you need a hell of alot of luck to make it big. Hell yeah you do. People expect not just phenomimal talent these days but also for you to be so hot you're not human or for you to be strange enough to be famous... Well actaully nobody gives a shit about talent anyway just watch American Idol for five seconds and if you're a musician of any sort you'll vow to never be a bad as those people EVER.

   Hehe. Heard of X-Factor? Its a british version of American Idol with Simon Cowell (spelling?) Sharon Osbourne and someone else judging? 2 people I know went to audition, one seriously (she didnt get into the seccond round) and one guy did it for a joke and to get on tv and he got onto the seccond round at least.

   Yeah one girl from my choir, actually the most advanced choir I'm in the beginners choir went to the cometition and she got to perform in front of the judges and almost got to Hollywood but not quite. I quit choir it's stupid and choir teachers suck almost as much as band teachers. I hate them all.

   I liked some of the beatles tunes, 'Penny Lane' 'Eleanor Rigby'. I think that a lots of artists particular solo artists like Shirley Bassey and Matt Monroe sung particular good versions of the Beatles songs, they were good at coming out with songs not necessary the best at producing the best mixes of them. I liked Whitney Houstons version of 'Come Together' from the film 'The Bodyguard'. I think Lennon made some really good songs classics like 'Woman' and 'Starting over' oh and 'Jealus Guy'.

    songwriting i can respect them at pretty much the highest level, musically they're pretty good. but my only interest in them was watching beatles videos off youtube. i'm looking to pick up seargent pepper's or abbey road though.
