with a little help from my friends

[The Firecracker]

I just hate the song
why can't he do some of the other older Beatles numbers

so your a fan of the early beatles then?


I like both sides of the change. I tend to lean towards the more trippy stuff though.

what "the Boxer"? or "Hey Jude"?

The Boxer-its so wordy that for some reason i suffer mental blocks with it and play very quietly-we do all Amercican folk stuff-btw have you seen A Mighty Wind?

[The Firecracker]

btw have you seen A Mighty Wind?

no I am afraid not.

[Banjo]

Its the folk music version of Spinal Tap-the same makers in fact-a bit more subtle but just as funny!

Liked "Spinal tap".

Is mighty wind from the same director who did "waiting for guffman" and "best in show"?

[Banjo]

Christopher Guest-sure is
I haven't seen waiting for Guffman and i'm still kicking myself for missing Best In Show on TV last year when Crufts was showing

saw   "best in show". It is pretty damn funny.

Though Hey Jude's is wonderful, the outro of The Boxer moves me like nothing else. Actually I like the song starting from "in the clearing stands a boxer". What precedes I could do without. Hey Jude is good from the beginning. The Beatles outro is better than Elvis, though  I prefer  his version for what comes before.

Yeah i might try and pick up both Guest movies i'm missing-these movies really get to me!

  For me, the trippier Beatles stuff is the best.  I like the early, pop music, but Sgt. Pepper is one of the best albums ever. 

  And Day in the Life is my favorite Beatles song.  Do I smell a new poll?

"Day in the life" is one of my favs as well (if not my fav) along with "Norwegian Wood" and "I am the Walrus".
"Something" is also on my top ten.

And Day in the Life is my favorite Beatles song.

it is mine too, and it was also Frank Zappa's (along with I am the Walrus and another I don't remember. Maybe Nowhere Man?). Which is saying a lot, I presume. But then I listen to one of the other 150 good ones they made and I become uncertain whether it is right to say I have a personal favourite.

Revolver and the White Album are great records too!Not forgetting Shabby Road(or is that The Rutles ).

[titoli]

Well, White Album has the double of songs it should have. Is there anybody here who really likes Obladì-Oblada? Or Good Night? Or Revolution n.9? (I could go on).
Yes, you have masterpieces like Happiness is a Warm Gun or Helter Skelter or Sexy Sadie, but too much crap as well. 

[The Firecracker]

Obladì-Oblada?

I do.
