The Beatles.
With the release of The Beatles Rock Band, I remembered just how excellent the Beatles are. I finished the game and came to a realization: the Beatles don't have ANY bad songs.
REMEMBER: There's a difference between bad and worse than other songs. I don't really like Eleanor Rigby, but it isn't bad. Same goes for Revolution and Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, as well as all the others that don't live on my iPod.
One of the Beatles' strengths was that they had four singers for veriety. John, Paul and George all faithfully sing their respective parts, but what about Ringo? It's universally accepted that he was not the best singer, but he still COULD sing. In fact, he sang some of their best songs, such as Yellow Submarine, Octopus's Garden and With A Little help From My Friends. Octopus's Garden was the only song Ringo ever wrote, and John Lennon said "It's the only song Ringo ever wrote for the band, mind you it's lovely,".
I suppose my being British does have something to do with it, but that's no excuse for excusing them as a band. I used to just think they were a band from the 60s that were revolutionary for the time but don't really hold up now. Then I listened to them. I will never be the same.
The Beatles were nothing but a legend to The End. Literally, the last song they ever recorded together was 'The End' from the Abbey Road album.
Please, voice your opinions on music. Do you like The Beatles? Do you dispise them with a passion? Have you never heard them?
To round off this pointless thread, here's my top 10 Beatles songs:
10. Help!
9. I Want You (She's So Heavy)
8. With A Little Help From My Friends
7. Hello Goodbye
6. Do You Want To Know A Secret
5. Hey Jude
4. I Saw Her Standing There
3. Octopus's Garden
2. Dear Prudence
1. Let It Be
