Not great, but not bad either. They have a few songs I really like but not enough for me to say they're my favourites. I think I'm more inclined to listen to Harrison's (and maybe Lennon's) solo stuff. And as far as 60's British bands go I'm more of a Kinks fan.

Favourite songs - In My Life, Hey Bulldog, Julia, Something, Across the Universe.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar, the little children laugh at him behind his back, and the banker never wears a mac, in the pouring rain, very strange.

The Beatles were great. My favourite songs are probably Penny Lane, Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby and Eight Days a Week.

The songs I like, I love, and the songs I don't, I hate.

The Abbey Road Medley is my favourite "song" they've done.

I've never really listened to them much until recently. I've only heard about 3 songs, so it's kind of early for me to judge them. But what I have heard, I think was pretty good.

[quote="Asterikboy86"]I like The Beatles! My first album that I remember is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Which celebrated it's 40th anniversary this year.

Some people claim that the album is the best of all time. Do you agree?
quote]


Its a very good album but I'm not sure if it is the best of all time. Personally I'm not even sure if its my favorite Beatles album (although that changes frequently) I think it has too many songs that a lacking to be the best of all time. The trouble is usually with The Beatles they have the jokey songs that are weird and goofy and the worst on the album. Sgt Peppers has these but She's Leaving Home and Within You Without You are the actual low parts. So you have some really great songs, and more average songs then most Beatle's albums. If Penny Lane and Strawberry Field's Forever were included like they were originally planned then it would definitly be the best album ever. As it stands now however I would say no.

I couldn't have told you which was the most popular Beatles song without research. According to more than one source, it's "Hey Jude." Not my fave of theirs, but it makes the upper half.

I can't believe I forgot While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's a great song, but it was done better by George Harrison solo.

Do like, but they're nowhere near my top ten favourite bands.

I like some of the songs, others I can't stand, but overall I'd say they're pretty good.

My marching band played some Beatles songs for my sophomore year, and I've uploaded them to Youtube if anyone's interested.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deT8i-XiBaI part 1 (skip to the 3 minute mark to avoid the boring silence at the beginning)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uCttaHrNk4 part 2

A pretty bad performance, but the crowd response was good.

Did you mean Eric Clapton? Clapton does the solo on the album, although if there is an alternate version with Harrison I would want to know where to hear it.

I liked Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but not too much. Although, I myself love Within You Without You.

I have a soft spot for Within You Without You, but I can't stand most of the psychedelic stuff.

Im trying to find that song they made that had pretty similar music in it, and same tempo as it. Im pretty sure they mixed some of it at the beginning of Within You Without You in that Love cd. A few lines at least, "Turn off your minds, relax and float downstream...". Im sure I've heard the original somewhere D:
