Up until August last yr i hated the Beatles w/ a passion. But then one listen to the Revolver album changed that, and the way i look at music as well. It's a shame how their earlier, singles-oriented songs have been overplayed. About the time of Rubber Soul they found artistic maturity, and when Revolver came out they were, absolutely & frighteningly, masters of the songwriting craft; and of course by this time, their most brilliant songs weren't fit for massive airplay anymore: I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said, She's Leaving Home -- too introspective to be played in public, yearning for a good pair of headphones in a locked bedroom. The next albums, from Sgt Pepper to Abbey Road, each had tracks that, if played to a kid today, would never be suspected of coming from the 60s. If you think that Happiness Is A Warm Gun is a wicked Breeders original, well you're in for a suprise. And dammit, does anyone realize that David Bowie based his whole career on the pre-chorus of I'm So Tired?
True comments Chili. I must admit I don't listen to a lot of beetles these days, but the occasional song still lurks on my phone (for example sgt peppers loneyl hearts club band) I also have rolling stones "paint it black", now that's a song I can listen to again and again!
