The Beatles - Revolution

[Robert Mugabe]

For me the most Beatlesque, post Beatles song was George's.

It's funny when some people dismiss them as a pop band. They were very diverse in their musical tastes which was reflected in their songs. They were always trying to come up with something new and to not repeat themselves. (As opposed to today's music which seems to depend on algorithms that guarantee repeating yourself.) Not only were their hairstyles changing year to year, but also the music.

The Beatles had plenty of rockers and heavy sounding songs - like Helter Skelter and Tomorrow Never Knows. But i think their first heavy sounding song was Ticket to Ride. Listen to Ringo on the drums and Paul and George dueling lead guitars.

This one kicked ass

Back in the day I liked the Beatles, but I loved the Stones, cuz they were more raw and "bluesy".

Paul McCartney dissed them recently, calling them a "blues cover band". To me the Beatles were part pop, a bit rock, and a lot "English Music Hall".

lets not kid ourselves...McCartney is talkin,g out of both sides of his mouth....yes the Stones started out of a cover band..but the Beatles covered numerous R&B and Soul songs themselves
