re: This Beatles song really doesn't sound 50 years old.

is it really too much trouble to name the song or are we just going for a dramatic effect?

just finished reading emerick's book, and it was very interesting.

It broke my heart how much he trashed George. Reading the part about "Taxman" was rough. I can hardly listen to that song anymore knowing that that's Paul ripping the solo because George couldn't nail it--and he wrote the damn thing.

I'm trying to come up with another music analog for what is taking place right here.

The best I can come up with on the fly is a thread where the OP posts a CCR song that doesn't sound exactly like every other CCR song to illustrate that, 'see, not all their songs sound the same.' I'm sure there's are way better examples, but whatever. Because, I mean, you can say that the Beatles catalog of 200+songs sounds completely and unlistenably dated, but that argument fails because, here, check out this one. ::chuckle chuckle::

I don't know what the OP's intent was here, but the result is a fantastic illustration of what I consider to be a conclusive fact; namely, that he Beatles' music hasn't held up over time. So, yeah, it doesn't. Old news.

"BUT BUT BUT....Rubber Soul helped to inspire Pet Sounds which in turn served as a catalyst for Sgt. Peppers and without those three albums no great songs would have ever been written because, you see, these three albums serve as both the but-for and proximate cause of any and all above average and above music that has been made since. And so, you see, without The Beatles we would essentially have no decent music ot listen to today and in fact music as an artform would have likely died out just like string puppetry. And so, because of all this, The Beatles are clearly the GOAT band. Oh hey man, switching gears: I checked out those movies with Brad Cooper your girlfriend mentioned. I liked them oka, but ws really diggig some of the music. Some fresh sounding stuff. Will research later. Whatever it is, I'm sure it wouldn't have existed without the beatles. They influence everything," -said a shipload people on this board and elsewhere, more or less.

God what a douche.

agree.

paul and john treated george like crap. george must have been a very laid back dude. not getting many songs on albums. it had to be killing him inside. but his talent came through in the end and after they broke up.
