Well it was 50 years ago today..
..more or less since the Beatles first single Love Me Do was released. I can't believe it is so long! I was 12 and was part of the lucky generation that saw the world start to 'be in colour'!

I'm sure a direct line can be made from them to The X-Factor.
Oh, sorry

It is a bit long for a pop tune in 63. Runs over two minutes.Rum wrote:..more or less since the Beatles first single Love Me Do was released. I can't believe it is so long! I was 12 and was part of the lucky generation that saw the world start to 'be in colour'!

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Well I was born in '63. So The Beatles are all I know. I grew up on them, and they made me the man I am today
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Well it was 50 years ago today..
Yes, but probably not with "Love Me Do" or much of the early material. Mind you, that's with the considerable (and perhaps dubious) benefit of hindsight, and not having been there to observe it at first hand. If the Beatles had not been so wildly popular with their early material, the later (and much more influential) songs may never have seen the light of day.Rum wrote:..more or less since the Beatles first single Love Me Do was released.

American music was shit in 63, so it would have taken longer to put it back on track. Without the BI. To match teen tastes. And the record executives were selling LPs to adults.

Re: Well it was 50 years ago today..
It really annoys me today, when some people slate The Beatles as being shite. They're completely missing the point that... at that time... what they were doing was new and very influential to so many artists that followed them. It's like a Twilight fan knocking Dracula, calling it unoriginal. Fucking duh!Rum wrote:..more or less since the Beatles first single Love Me Do was released. I can't believe it is so long!

Re: Well it was 50 years ago today..
I like far more of their songs than I dislike. And some of them are still bloody perfect, let alone how groundbreaking they were at the time.

The early Beatles was trite pop shite. They got good somewhere past halfway through their history.

Oh so you think the hippie shit was good? And the teen love songs based on some actual teen angst were shit?
