Bands On The Beatles

[@jhowardgators]

"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was groundbreaking in '64 but in two short years went to "Tomorrow Never Knows" and just one year later recorded "A Day in a Life" and kept progressing their last two years with "I am the Walrus", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Helter Skelter", "Hey Jude" (just to name a few) and finally the "Abbey Road" album, which by all account is a masterpiece. Mind blowing, will never be duplicated, never. They will always be considered the most innovative, influential and best band to grace this planet. Most musical institutions acknowledge this.

[@donaldrocks101103]

I Want To Hold Your Hand was 1963 actually. It became big in the US in 1964 though. And Strawberry Fields Forever was written and recorded in late 1966. And released as a single in early 1967. It made it on the Magical Mystery Tour album in late 1967.

+Jon Howard How do you know what will happen in the future?

[@jnixa1010]

+Jon Howard It's absolutely mind blowing, the innovation, and the output in such a short period.

[@bonjovi7399]

@@jonnysongs Past 10 to 15 years barely anything has changed. Its really slowed down. 60,s, 70,s, 80,s, 90,s things were drastically changing every 3 to 4 years. From the birth of hard rock after the Beatles to excessive prog rock to glam rock to punk , disco, post punk, new wave, new romantics, birth of hip hop, heavy metal, excessive hair metal, the birth of house music, grunge, drum n bass, etc etc etc even pop music way back changed drastically. now it sounds the same as 10 years ago. If you forgot all pop music of the last 10 years and were given songs from each year you would not be able to distinguish if they were new or old. Beatles did all of that in a few short years and gave some of the greatest songs ever.

They beatles totally dominated the whole industry,it wasnt even debatible.

[@Tinewashere]

if you don't like the beatles, it's because you haven't heard them. seriously, i can't see how it's possible to dislike them.

[@lizard1971]

Tinewashere I have met a few people who have said they don't like the Beatles. That just boggles my mind! NEVER TRUST A PERSON WHO SAYS THEY DON'T LIKE THE BEATLES!!

[@memondayz]

I could never dislike them. I like quite a few song and wholeheartedly appreciate their incredible significance towards music but I just can’t seem to get to think they’re the BEST band EVER I just like them but to other people that means you hate them somehow

[@padgemahaj3167]

How can you not like The Beatles that’s like saying I don’t drink water that’s stupid you need water to live 😂

[@raindrops21_9]

Yep you need both water and The Beatles to live.

[@lilianelucas8123]

Some people say they don’t like the Beatles but they only know some hits, but I think if you listen all the albums from please please me to Abbey Road(last album recorded) it is impossible for me to dislike all Beatles songs. They did all genres of music. So everybody can find songs.

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

All musicians everywhere worship The Beatles like gods. They are THE untouchable band, and always will be.

[@Bopstery]

“Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except for Me and my Monkey” is one of the most underrated tracks EVER!

[@tonybates7870]

Play I Feel Fine then Tomorrow Never Knows. The two tracks were recorded 18 months apart. They sound like they come from different centuries, by different artists. I don't think any other act has moved so far so quickly.

[@Realbillball]

And both tracks still rocks.

How about In My Life on Rubber Soul and Love You To on Revolver

[@peka7776]

Their music makes me happy...Beatles Forever! 👍🏼🤗🥰

[@jeffjones2586]

The LP virtually everyone overlooks is the UK version of A Hard Day's Night soundtrack. 14 songs. Every single one a pop music gem. Each song is completely self-contained yet connected to the greater whole. Later works were more sophisticated, but AHDN captured Beatlemania perfectly. The success of AHDN is why they were allowed to grow and mature. They got bigger than the entire entertainment industry. It all goes back to that LP. Their BEST LP.

[@cretoolsen5031]

if you say "The Beatles suck', than you have never been a true musician, I've been drumming 46 yrs. "Ringo made the band", as a drummer,

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

Whenever someone tells me Ringo was a lame drummer, I play She Said She Said for them.

The Beatles are great and I followed them since I was six or so years old

[@alandugdale1036]

The Beatles was to music as Shakespeare's was to literature

[@nigelmurphy6761]

Absolutely. you couldn't have said it better. The Beatles music is and always will be timeless.

[@kevinzhang3313]

Modern music. There were the original musicians who CREATED music in ITSELF from nothing and expanded it to such greatness and potential. Bands and songwriters "put the chords together to make 'melodies" and write poetic lyrics, which repeat.

[@WreckedRadio]

Really awesome- I love a lot of the artists on here and it's great to hear their take on a band I've loved all my life.

[@briane5706]

The fact that musicians old and new, generation after generation acknowledge The Beatles as the reason for becoming a musician speaks volumes. Their music is still as fresh as ever, and they continually top polls of professional musicians as the greatest band in the world ever, and that ain't gonna change.

[@drsgtpepper69]

my mom played the beatles ever since i was born....she always played 1.....my dad listens to the shit thats on hit radio....thank god for my mom.....i am hooked on the beatles and i think theyre gods and john lennon is my hero!!

[@PlanetRockJesus]

2:47... "My favorite album is Abbey Road. I feel it's the most tuneful." I must agree, if I had to pick just one.

[@theBlackPrince_9]

Just get every Beatles record and listen to them in order from start to finish. Then do it again...

[@ModerateObserver]

Ian Brown speaking truth. It's not just their music that's so phenomenal, it's their whole story as well. Cosmic and miraculous. Like something from classical Greek literature.

[@Comradedevmon]

the beatles is what brought what we have now i love them they inspired me to start my band people may disagree with my taste but they were freaking brilliant i love what they brought in the past for me to hear now my whole life goal is to be like the beatles right now i'm sorta living that dream

[@mrchefsandro]

the beatles gave me my first true musical experience where you see music as more than sounds but as something unexplainably magical and touching

[@verypersonal]

Let's Just think for a moment, how many of these bands are still remembered today in 2017?

[@valerock667]

i started listening beatles at age of 8 thanks to my mom's vinyl of sgt Pepper

[@soulsmischief2626]

they are the greatest musicians in the history of human. no debat

[@ILLUSIONFUSION1]

The Beatles defined the 60s along with Rock n Roll music.

[@classicrockcafe]

The person who turned down the Beatles was right about one thing. Guitar groups were on the way out, at that time. The early sixties. But in the late sixties and early seventies, guitar group flurished. Just before the Beatles, there were clean cut crooners such as Bobby Vinton and Fabien. After the Beatles, we had Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Who, and Deep Purple. The Beatles caused this.

[@curly_wyn]

Clean cut is good

[@lennonjohn3796]

Boss comment

[@dannycubin6237]

Ian brown knows the score

[@Tinewashere]

haha, i used to be just like you - i respected the beatles, but never really heard them. hmm, well, i'd suggest starting out with some of their earlier stuff, like 'please please me' or 'a hard days night', and then work your way up their discography - it's probably the best way to experience a band. start at the early stuff, then go up to the more newer, until you end with the newest. it gives a good overlook over a band. but, all in all, try 'revolver' or 'rubber soul'. they're my fav albums

[@aucourant9998]

I don't fully trust young band members saying they love the Beatles. I often feel these young people just say the Beatles are the greatest because they know they are meant to say that. The thing is the Beatles so profoundly influenced just about everything that came after them, that it is hard to really get why they were so wonderful then by listening to them now. You had to be there at the time to know how different and amazing they were.

[@cinyarko]

0:30 - their contribution to recording techniques is often overlooked. There's a whole wiki page about it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_practices_of_the_Beatles

[@amygalvin1799]

Liked the Beatles at 5 and I still do at 58!

[@cooltheengines]

I think the one band at the time that the Beatles knew were as good as them or arguably better were The Beach Boys. Both bands were incredible!

[@terrythekittie]

Or to be specific, Brian Wilson. The Beatles were truly a band. The Beach Boys a lot of the time were great singers backed by session musicians with a brilliant songwriter as their leader, but a band in the same sense as the Beatles?

[@ollieahokas9179]

They got me started when I was 10. Irony is that it was the very same year they decided to quit. By then I wanted a guitar, so eventually I got a old unplayable goldflaked Framus Hollywood. Eventually I switched to play bass in bands and later on when the first Van Halen album came out, I switched back to guitar. Any of the bands I was never made it further than a few gigs and rehearsal studios in dusty basements but I still play and that album my dad brought out, Help, got me started. By the way my favorite albums are Abbey Road, Rubber Soul and Revolver.

[@jnixa1010]

This says it all. And shit you not, 98% of any band you find will say all of the same. That is why it is impossible to acknowledge the Beatles are the greatest of all time.

[@Safemodeonline]

We love the beatles. They not only make music, they made magic. Thank beatles for his music and his legacy. It is our greatest inspiration now and forever Safe Mode: SM_

okay - that might've been a little confusing, haha. but if you want to try it all - just work up their discography. if you want a little snippet and see if it's something for you - 'revolver' or 'rubber souls' are my suggestions. people would probably disagree though. :)

In the UK, magical mystery tour was released as an EP instead of an album, Capitol Records took this LP and placed the 1967 singles in it, against the beatles will, and released it as an album. Thats why it doesent count as an "oficial" album.
