So much about The Beatles has been written and their story is so mythic that it is very hard to summarize their career without the recurring clichés that have already been digested by millions of rock fans, but the impact they had on rock and roll can't be overstated.

Here are some of my favorite Beatles songs: Posted by Andrew on Wednesday, 04/17/2013 @ 11:27am |

"They were imaginative and experimental who grabbed a hold of the international consciousness in 1964 with "I Want to Hold Your Hand", turning the music world on it's head, setting in motion the musical agenda for the rest of the decade" Posted by Paul on Sunday, 06/2/2013 @ 16:14pm |
How in any way was their early stuff experimental? Posted by GFW on Sunday, 06/2/2013 @ 17:30pm |
Paul, what I said about The Beatles may be seen as an untrue statment, but they are the most important band in rock and roll. Simply put, many of the later rock bands would not have existed had it not been for The Beatles and many of the great singer-songwriters would never be around today had it not been for them.

You're not the first to get trashed on here. That quote would probably get called out no matter who said it. Posted by GFW on Monday, 06/3/2013 @ 06:29am |
anyone who says that the beatles were not the most influential band of all time is completely false they did what no other band did change throughout their career something that most average people listneing to rock music today cannot grasp. that is what them great the fact is that they did not care about selling to the base they already and change. many important people have cited them has extremely influential Queen, Black Sabbath and the greatest rock musician since 1990 kurt cobain anyone who says that are not good listen to come together, hey jude, revoultion, helter skelter, something, and while my guitar gently weeps. and for what http://www.scaruffi.com said about them he is what is called hipster his greatest band of all time most people have never heard of but that is not my point the beatles had the same amount of influence if not more while still being the most successful band of all time writing all their songs and being a band that also transcends a genre.

It was 50 years ago today, that the Beatles taught the band to play. Posted by Dameon on Friday, 02/7/2014 @ 12:26pm |
Amazing that only one comment has come in on the Beatles over the course of this weekend. Even though they were inducted yrs. ago, I'd have thought someone else would've said something, being what this weekend is. Posted by Cheesecrop on Sunday, 02/9/2014 @ 05:02am |
I don't know if I'm going to watch the thing on CBS (or did it already air?). It might be cool, but I dunno. I'm leery of the Paul and Ringo reunion. I saw Ringo's performance at the Grammys and he is definitely aging. He looks almost fragile up on stage now. Still, I hope this event and this 50 year celebration thing reignites the push to get Ringo inducted as a solo artist while he's still alive (or just plain ever). I know I'm minority on that, especially in light of all the acts on here that are considered bigger snubs, but I just want to see it happen. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 02/9/2014 @ 12:22pm |
Strangely enough, only one station in the Philly area has anything going on. This is WMGK. We have an oldies station, WOGL, and every Sunday they do the "70's on Sunday", for about 6 hours. I honestly thought they would break the pattern, given that this is the last time anybody will be able to do anything on the Beatles in such a manner. They've opted to remain faithful to their programming as usual. Posted by Cheesecrop on Sunday, 02/9/2014 @ 17:31pm |

To the ignorant comments on here about The Beatles and to those who linked and quoted the extremely inaccurate,ignorant,ludicrous Scaruffi article about The Beatles,which is filled with out right lies and distortions and I have a lot of strong evidence that debunks it.

In the 2012 Newsweek Beatles special celebrating 50 years since their music came out,Steve Jobs was quoted from Walter Isaacson's biography as talking about how the band's approach to recording "refining and refining" influenced his own creative process. He said they were such perfectionists they kept it going and going he said. Steve Jobs said that this made a big impression on him when he was in his thirties.Newsweek rightfully says,that it's hard to imagine another rock band that influenced the way computers are made just as it is to think of one whose name became an adjective. And Newsweek said and that's why The Beatles still stand apart. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 13:51pm |
One of the countless lies Scaruffi wrote about The Beatles is that no other music artists praised them and for very good reasons,and yet countless rock and other types of music artists not only have and still praise them,but many have called them the greatest band ever,and have called John Lennon and Paul McCartney the two greatest song writers of the 20th century even over their own bands and solo selves.

Ozzy Osbourne has been a big Beatles fan since he was an early teenager,and he picked She Loves You as one of his favorite songs for Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest songs and Sgt.Pepper is one o his favorite albums. He says that not loving The Beatles is like not loving oxygen and he called The Beatles the greatest band to ever walk the earth. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:03pm |
In this 2008 interview asking Keith Richards who the five greatest bands ever are besides The Rolling Stones,he said obviously he put The Beatles in there. This was 6 years of course before he ridiculously criticized The Beatles brilliant Sgt.Pepper album that The Rolling Stones tried but failed to copy and equal. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:07pm |
Not only did The Beatles give The Rolling Stones one of their first hits with their rock n roll song I Wanna Be Your Man as you know,and they wrote it right in front of them and Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were impressed and like wow how can you write a song just like that and it motivated them to start writing their own songs. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:10pm |
As The Rolling Stone Album Guide said, not liking The Beatles is as perverse as not liking the sun. And Ozzy Osbourne( he's been a huge Beatles fan he was a young teen from The Beatles early days,and he picked She Loves You as one of Rolling Stone Magazine's greatest songs of all time,and Sgt.Pepper is one of hi favorite albums) said not loving The Beatles is like not loving oxygen. And a guy who runs Keno's Classic Rock n Roll Site and who runs a Rolling Stones and John Lennon fan site says in his review of The Beatles 1967-1970 Blue Album damn The Beatles were one great group and he said in his great review of The Beatles 1962-1966 Red album, that if you don't love or at least like The Beatles and their music then you are not a true rock fan and more than likely will never ever get it. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:15pm |
This is a description of the 2009 Beatles 3 part radio special of how brilliant and influential The Beatles were from the beginning and it has interviews with Brian Wilson,Tom Petty,Dave Grohl,Slash,Jeff Lynne,Ann Wilson,Nancy Wilson,Peter Asher,Jackson Browne,Bob Seger,T-Bone Burnett,Cameron Crowe,Mika,Mark Ronson,Susan Werner,Rick Rubin,and Joe Boyd. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:18pm |
Another of the countless inacurrate things Scaruffi says about The Beatles writing 3 minute songs,well until The Beatles broke the rules for everyone with the long song Hey Jude in 1968, the radio's rules for everyone was that they wouldn't play any songs longer than 3 minutes. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:22pm |
Here in this 1971 interview at the Sgt.Regis Hotel John Lennon is asked by the interviewer about him using drummer Jim Keltner and if this was a reflection on Ringo's drumming.And John said, Oh no I love his drumming. He then said I think Keltner is a bit technically better but Ringo is still one of the best drummers in rock. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:29pm |
Here is a really good July 1976 Rolling Stone Magazine interview with George Martin in which he's asked about George Harrison who he says is talented but John and Paul are so enormously talented that it was silly to look elsewhere. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:33pm |
Around 2003 I found an online interview with George Martin and he said that even though he has produced many other music artists and he has never had the same success before or after producing The Beatles,he has never known or worked with anyone as brilliant as The Beatles. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:37pm |
This 1999 review of Mark Lewisohn's excellent Beatles studio diary book where many of The Beatles recording engineers and tape operators and their producer George Martin are interviewed (and it shows how truly innovative,brilliant and creative especially John and Paul were in the recording studio),The Beatles Recording Sessions titled, Behind The Creative Genius Of A Groundbreaking Band by a musician himself says it all, he says that as a musician he found Mark Lewisohn's portrayal of The Beatles genius and in parenthesis he says, especially that of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, to be completely thorough and accurate, as well as insightful. He then says if you are to buy any one Beatles book,buy this one. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:42pm |
In The All Music Guide's great review of The Beatles Past Masters album,they say they proved that they could rock really,really hard with their songs I Feel Fine,She's a Woman,and the peerless I'm Down Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:45pm |
In this All Music Guide review of The Beatles late 1963 album,With The Beatles Stephen Thomas Erlewine says at the end of the very good review that still the heart of With The Beatles lies not in the covers but the originals where it was clear that even at this early stage The Beatles were rapidly maturing and changing turning into expert craftsman and musical innovators. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:47pm |
The Beatles do need defending because there truly is so much ignorant,inaccurate myths about them like Scaruffi's ,the most ignorant and ludicrous of all,is that they were ever a boy band and they never were not even for half of a second. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:51pm |
I have read all of the recent almost all 5 star amazon.com reviews of the new remastered amazon.com best seller,The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl and many people are saying what I and other fans have said elsewhere,that given how limited and primitive sound systems of the time were,and they had no feedback monitors so they couldn't even hear themselves singing and playing,they played and sounded amazingly good! I heard the small samples on amazon.com,and what struck me is how typically great and prominent Paul's bass playing is,someone said he's playing it like a lead instrument.Also an amazon.com reviewer said how underrated John's rhythm guitar playing is and how George Harrison's guitar playing is very good and how great Ringo's drumming is. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 14:54pm |
It's really amazing how good The Beatles sounded live with such limited primitive crappy sound systems of the time,but they were so great that they would have even sounded good playing out of of cave. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:01pm |
Scaruffi so ignorantly and inaccurately called George Harrison a ''pathetic'' guitar player, Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:04pm |
Also, classical composer Leonard Bernstein called John and Paul the greatest composers of the 20th century so did Elton John on a 1991 CBS Morning news show,he was asked who he musically admires and he said you can talk about your Rogers and Hammerstein but for the quantity of quality songs that Lennon and McCartney wrote in that short period of time,he said he thinks they were the greatest song writers of the 20th century.Brian Wilson said this too on a 1995 Nightline Beatles tribute show. The Beatles are in the Vocal Hall of Fame and John and Paul have been in the song writing Hall of Fame since 1987,Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have been in it since 1993,but as of now no members of The Who,or Led Zeppelin are in The Song Writing Hall Of Fame or The Vocal Hall Of Fame,The Rolling Stones aren't in The Vocal Hall of Fame either and The Beatles were awarded about 20 prestigious Ivor Novello awards as great singers and song writers in just a remarkable 8 year recording career,John and Paul won the first one in early 1964. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:08pm |
In this interview with news reporter Larry Kane who interviewed The Beatles from 1964-1966 on their concert tours,and he's in Ron Howard's Beatles documentary Eight Days A week,says that he was at 46 Beatles concerts and there wasn't a bad one. He also says he thinks the film is a reminder of how good The Beatles were as musicians,and he said modern musicians we look at the puny sound equipment they had and will be amazed and that some of their concerts had their music going out on the stadium public address system. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:10pm |
Here are The Rolling Stones live in 1963 and 1964 they don't sound better or even as good as The Beatles live then! They aren't even rocking. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:15pm |
In 1964 The Rolling Stones wrote and recorded a Rice Krispies TV commercial jingle not something cool like a cigarette ad and they also had teen girls screaming at their early concerts.Maybe The Rolling Stones should be called a boy band too.I'm pretty certain The Beatles never wrote and recorded a jingle for a cereal TV commercial. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:19pm |
Here is The Rolling Stones performing one of my favorite songs by them,Street Fighting Man the music is great in it,although the words are very good too, while most of the comments are positive,there is a guy in the comments who said it's a weak performance and they sound like a high school cover band. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:20pm |
Here is part of The Beatles great January 1969 roof top concert. What Steve Paradiso says in the comments,That The Beatles were arguably The Greatest Rock n Roll Band Ever is *so true!* Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:22pm |
I also met two people and know a third one who saw The Beatles in concert,one woman and one man who were my high school teachers who saw them in 1966,and the other my second cousin who saw them at the Baltimore Coliseum when she was 16 in 1964,she became a psychologist.They all told me that they were close enough to them to see and hear the The Beatles and that they were great. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:25pm |
And I have been a huge Beatles fan, especially a big highly impressed John and Paul fan since I was 11 and I got my first Beatles book for my 11th birthday,I started collecting their albums at age 9, and I had every album by age 13. I was born after 1964 too. when I was 13 a guy at school who was 2 years older than me,gave me Hunter Davies authorized biography,he was a fan and his older brother was an even bigger fan.I would read that book for hours till 5 in the morning.

Many people on different message boards have said the only Rolling Stones song they like is Paint It Black, my first cousin who is a head hunter helping people find jobs,she used to an accountant,and when she was 21 a huge Rolling Stones fan she also had The Beatles Revolver album in her bedroom.

This is a great August 1986 hour long Paul McCartney interview by Barbara Hower from Entertainment This Week. She asked him a lot of great intelligent questions including how he felt about John Lennon's horrible,tragic murder and she got a rare great interview out of him and he comes across as very likeable intelligent,funny,serious and charming. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:43pm |
And John wrote this beautiful,brilliant song with beautiful music and John's typical beautiful singing voice, Number 9 Dream on his very good 1974 solo album,Walls And Bridges and he produced and arranged the whole album by himself including this beautiful,brilliant song! Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 15:45pm |
Paul McCartney is the Mozart of rock and he really was born this way because he inherited his father Jim McCartney's and Jim's father's natural music talent,to a rare ridiculous extreme degree. Paul's father Jim taught himself how to play the piano at age 14,and he broke an ear drum at the age of 10 so he was deaf in one ear,and he went on to become a classical jazz pianist and the leader of his own band Jim Mac's Band who were popular in clubs in Liverpool. His father even wrote an instrumental song called,walking In The Park With Eloise which Paul and Wings recorded with the name The Country Hams in 1974 and included this song on their 1976 Wings album,Wings At The Speed Of Sound.

In this 2002 interview with John’s May Pang who was his girl friend during his separation from Yoko she was asked as the last question,what would she most like the world to know about John,and she said the fact that he was a kind sensitive man who was insecure in his personal life.

A guy named Tim Ellison posted on a message board back in 2006 after someone had linked to Scaruffi's horrible,inaccurate,article about The Beatles,and he said that it was a horror and that he never wanted to read that garbage again.In 2007 he posted on the same forum that Scaruffi's Beatles analysis is freaking ridiculous. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 16:49pm |
In this September 1971 interview with John and Yoko,John is asked if playing 8 hours a night in Hamburg Germany for two years in a row improved The Beatles playing,and he said Oh amazingly because before that they had only played bits and pieces but in Hamburg they played for hours and hours and that this is how they developed their rock n roll sound and playing. John also mentions how they took pills(meaning Speed) to stay awake tobe able to play for so long. Posted by JPGR on Saturday, 01/14/2017 @ 17:42pm |

Here is an interview with University of Pennsylvania graduate (1 op the top universities in the US) musicologist Alan Pollack who did an 11 year study of all 200 Beatles songs, here he says The Beatles specifically John and Paul wrote what he calls chord anomalies which are very clever complex unusual chords including in their early music, and he said about these chord anomalies in their early music that people tend to underrate the first half of their catalog in this respect.

Keno who runs The Rolling Stones,John Lennon and Classic Rock n Roll site says exactly what you said in this video in his great 2017 review of The Beatles first album Please Please Me,that they were different from any other bands and music artists before them because they wrote,sang and played their own songs and before them music groups had professional song writers writing songs for them,he said John and Paul not only wrote great songs on please Please Me,but that John and Paul were both great lead singers who couldn't be beat at the time,and that they were on their way to becoming the greatest rock and roll band ever.

I forgot to include that Keno's first favorite band is The Rolling Stones,The Beatles are his very close second. Posted by Topazthecat on Wednesday, 05/9/2018 @ 15:34pm |
The Beatles didn't influence the modern boy bands,how by getting them to form as a genuine rock band,playing their instruments for years and years working their as*es offf to make it big? By writing their own very good to great songs including for other artists including The Rolling Stones as John and Paul were already doing in 1963 as their own song writing success was just getting off the ground?

Not really, Paul. She doesn't flood a forum quite so egregiously, and has never, iirc, ever mentioned the Beatles. Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 05/9/2018 @ 17:44pm |
Philip, the big breaks between paragraphs & multiple posts of basically the same thing reminded me of her. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 05/10/2018 @ 05:57am |
