Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 01 Jun 15 - 01:41 PM I'm with you, Dan. I have disliked the sound of the Beatles since they first hit the charts. However, I think they composed a few melodies which sound nice if done by somebody else - somebody with a good voice - or on an instrument. Here's a bit of lore. Long ago, Roy Orbison opened for a little-known band called the Beatles somewhere in England, and the English audience liked him so much he did 14 encores. It's on Wikipedia, so it must be true. (I believe it; it's too lovely not to believe.) Orbison wrote a teenybopper song called "Oobie Doobie," and as soon as I heard it, I knew where early Beatles came from. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,gillymor Date: 01 Jun 15 - 01:42 PM The Beatles speak very highly of you, Dan. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: Gallus Moll Date: 01 Jun 15 - 03:41 PM guess youse were all the wrong age group when The Beatles emerged - too young or more likely too old! The Beatles and the Stones- - - yeah yeah yeah -- of course later I moved on to Pink Floyd, John Mayall, Cream etc etc (and I never left my folk roots, before or after or evermore!) But for my generation, a Beatles tune strikes a chord in my memory, I remember the first time I heard 'She Loves You' and 'Please Please Me' and I will never forget the party I was at when a medical student arrived with the newly released 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' --- sigh---! |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Guest Date: 01 Jun 15 - 03:57 PM Saw them on an early evening programme (made by Granada for the north) when they were just starting and remember thinking. These lads are pretty good - wonder if they will make it? They did for me - and millions of others. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 01 Jun 15 - 05:18 PM "Of course later I moved on to Pink Floyd..." Ah a lunatic on the grass? More seriously, I think everyone I knew in my 70s part of growing up went through a Pink Floyd phase... |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: Ebbie Date: 01 Jun 15 - 11:33 PM I realize this thread has a hidden tongue in it, and I also grant that many musicians much, much better than I love the Beatles but as someone mentioned above when the Beatles came to town I was too old. One had to be about 14 years old to get hooked. For me, their first five or so songs lost me, i.e. I wanna hol your han', she loves you ja ja ja. etc. Come on. To this day if I don't recognize a Beatles tune when it comes on, fine. I'll listen to it and enjoy it. But when it has those distinctive five syllables per line and that heavy bouncing beat, I'm gone. Leapin' lizards! |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 02 Jun 15 - 07:29 PM When I saw this thread I wondered whether I'm sick of the Beatles too. So I forced myself to listen to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album. It was unbearable. I kept asking myself, "What did I ever like about this?" And then I remembered having done the same thing in the late 70's, with the same reaction. |

|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 03 Jun 15 - 12:31 PM The worst part was the way they sometimes sounded like 17-year cicadas - the loud, unabashed, adenoidal whine. We are getting the 17-year cicadas again soon. I'm considering moving to Death Valley. They probably don't have 17-year cicadas in Death Valley. |
|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 04 Jun 15 - 04:03 PM That's interesting, Leeneia. I didn't know beatles sometimes sound like cicadas. I knew that crickets sound a bit like cicadas, but the only sound I've heard beatles make is an intermittent scraping sound. |

|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 06 Jun 15 - 11:16 AM I tried to find a recording of the loud, strident buzzing of the 17-year cicada, but nothing did it justice. You haven't heard ugly till you've encountered a grove of trees with thousands of them going at once. Some Beatles songs have singing of the same timbre. |

Do you want to know a secret, I thought this thread was in danger of getting serious for a moment, but It's Getting Better. certainly is a Helter Skelter of a thread though. I think some people are just being Mean Mister Mustard. Strawberry Fields Forever is what I say (whatever that means). |

Subject: I'm (love)sick for the Beatles From: GUEST,gillymor Date: 06 Jun 15 - 12:48 PM No disrespect to Old Dude (I know where he's coming from) but the Beatles wrote some lovely, timeless melodies. Some of my favorites: I'll Get You (kind of a sappy lyric but a great tune) I Will In My Life And Your Bird Can Sing All My Loving P.S. I Love You Two of Us along with some others already mentioned. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,MikeL2 Date: 06 Jun 15 - 02:42 PM Hi Here's something...hello goodbye... I am old enough (too old !!) to have been around when the Beatles first started. Coming from the North West ( England that is) we had heard of them even before they came on TV on our North West News. Never really took to them then. But recently I unearthed a couple of old LP.s that must of been my sister's that somehow got in my collection. I have found myself liking some of their stuff. "While my guitar gently weeps" is one such. Another is Chains. An unusual track for them was "Till there was you". Yeah Yeah Yeah the boys did good. Cheers MikeL2 |

Subject: RE: I'm (love)sick for the Beatles From: Gurney Date: 07 Jun 15 - 01:29 AM gargoyle, that is a non-sequitur to out-do your usual! You should have started 'BeEtles are fine...' I'm assuming the insects you specify are what is colloquially known as Crabs? I've yet to hear a cover of a L&McC song that is better than the Beatles'. Some years ago I was at a festival where someone was singing from the Beatles songbook. Everyone in the room, all folkies, knew all the words, too. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: Jim Carroll Date: 07 Jun 15 - 02:37 AM " I am sick of the beatles" As a 1960s refugee from Beatles/football infested Liverpool, I couldn't agree more. No problem with the lads themselves - seemed nice enough bunch and talented - to a degree, but nothing special until the hype-machine got going (saw them a couple of times at The Aintree Institute before all the fuss). Resented them bitterly when they took over The Cavern (best jazz club I've ever been to), and turned it into a palace for the bland and brainless. Found their music pleasantly inoffensive, but nothing special. But that ****** overstated hype - something created to keep our minds off the fact that there was no work and if you wanted to stay alive, you had to move South. They disappeared for a time - as happens with pop-music creations, and were resurrected when the modern industry ran out of ideas - as also happens (more and more nowadays with an industry that has less and less imagination) Subsequent visits back home have been depressing - a place living on a past that wasn't much to write home about when it was the present - "historic Beatles Tours" to Penny Lane - "The Cavern Museum" and that god-awful 'Yellow Submarine' tat at John Lennon (for ******'* sake) Airport Liverpool is a great city with with a fascinating history and wonderful, generous, friendly people - pity people picture it as a place with a population of 4.

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Jun 15 - 03:09 AM Nah -- there were always Stan Kelly-Bootle & the Spinners too, you know, Jim. As to talent: like everybody the young moppet-heads won some & lost a few more. If I were invited to compile an anthology of significant late-C20 English verse for a university press, I should certainly include Eleanor Rigby, along with some of Ewan's better efforts like Schooldays Over, as well as some of the more obvious anthology-poets. ≈M≈ |

Subject: RE: I'm (love)sick for the Beatles From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jun 15 - 03:32 AM I gotta say, gillymor, that I question the need to start an "answer" thread instead of posting to the ongoing thread. It just seems to confuse things. I combined the two threads, but it would have been better for you to post in the original thread in the first place. -Joe Offer, Mudcat Music Editor- |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 07 Jun 15 - 03:41 AM Sorry but I've got to say. Sure everyone has different tastes but to suggest they as a unit were only a bit talented to me seems ludicrous. They have left a legacy of dozens upon dozens of wonderful, and varied, songs. Why we always have to knock people rather than celebrate them baffles me. |
|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Jun 15 - 04:04 AM Right. & who else are people staring current threads about, of the singers and groups who were around ½C ago?

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: Jim Carroll Date: 07 Jun 15 - 04:19 AM "Nah -- there were always Stan Kelly-Bootle & the Spinners too, you know, Jim." Stan had disappeared off the scene by the mid-sixties Mike, Bootle never got over the bombing (lived there but was forcibly moved to Finchingfield in Essex to avoid the excesses of the war) Eternally grateful to the Spinners for introducing me to fpolk song, but, like Topsy, I growed! "Eleanor Rigby" We....lll not too bad as songs go - had much more going for it than today's gibberish Peggy Seeger used it as a basis for one of her songs (All Those Murdered People) for the 1968 Festival of Fools, but was forced to remove it from the programme songbook on the advice of her solicitors - not far enough removed from the original. One of the oddities of our book collection is the two editions - before and after the page was extracted. "& Cilla" You mean Ms. White - nah - you don't count if you change your name apparently!!

The Maccoll family are poised to launch a 4 CD set of the MacColl output - some of it dating back to the 50s I should imagine It's now reasonably possible to get remastered copies of most of Ewan's recordings - not bad for a music that never made the charts (except once).

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,gillymor Date: 07 Jun 15 - 08:03 AM Joe, I thought the Beatles deserved their own appreciation thread and that it might have drawn posters who might not have opened this thread given it's negative title.

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 07 Jun 15 - 08:17 AM Well, in The Beatles defence they were- when they emerged - head and shoulders ahead of anything else in the UK ( don't talk about The Stones with their weak singer and uninspiring cover versions, and even when they got going as songwriters a lot of their material was just cynically milking the "bad boys" image that Oldham had worked hard to create) I think a good way of accessing a act's worth is to see how they were viewed by their contemporaries, and The Beatles were held in awe by almost the whole world of pop/rock music. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: Stu Date: 07 Jun 15 - 09:55 AM I love the Beatles. Was lucky enough to see George Harrison live at the Birmingham Heartbeat concert in 1986, and McCartney at Knebworth in 1990. It's all subjective at the end of the day. |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 08 Jun 15 - 10:38 AM Leeneia: Here are a couple of recordings of 17-year cicadas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuVzmwLDU1I. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpIVXFZOecQ I agree there is a striking resemblance to parts of "Back in the USSR," enough to make me wonder if they got it by adding field recordings of 17-year cicadas to the mix. I remember when I thought the Beatles had a sophisticated sound, as typified by that song's ridiculing of the bubble-gum music of the Beach Boys. But "California Girls" sounds much less offensive to me now than "Back in the USSR." |
|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 08 Jun 15 - 12:09 PM Do you think the song ridiculed the Beach Boys? Yes it was a play on the idea of the theme (USSR instead of USA) but I thought it was more a celebration of both Chuck Berry (ie Back In The USA) and the Beach Boys (California Girls) re bringing in both the girl theme and harmonies. I like all three songs...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls5T3tzAHuw |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 09 Jun 15 - 05:22 PM Allan, I never heard of "Back in the USA" before. That's a bit before my time. Yes, of course, it's the obvious antecedent to "Back in the USSR," in both the title and the opening lyrics. But I don't see how McCartney could have meant anything but ridicule of the other songs, with lyrics like "Ukraine girls really knock me out; they leave the west behind." |
|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: meself Date: 09 Jun 15 - 06:59 PM Ridicule - McCartney? How about whimsy? |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 10 Jun 15 - 02:08 AM Before my time too. In truth I can barely remember the Beatles either as I was only a wee kid when they were active. Seemingly McCartney wrote the song in India and had the song as a straight take on "Back In The USA" and played it to others there on the acoustic. It must have been the main verses as Mike Love of the Beach Boys claims it was he himself who then suggested a bit be added about all the different Soviet girls - which McCartney later did and added the Beach Boy harmonies etc. Yes it is parodying Berry and the Beach Boys but I think it was just a bit of fun and flattery more than actual ridicule. From everything I've read both Lennon and McCartney were inspired by Berry and loved the Beach Boys music. http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/back-in-the-ussr/ |

Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 10 Jun 15 - 07:56 AM I feel old nowadays compared with some of musicians I play with. I was heading in to the pub door with a lass in her early 30s who'd put fiddle to one of my songs. I was wearing a black cap and had the guitar over the shoulder and one of the regulars jokingly said "Here comes Donovan" She whispered to me "I've never seen Jason Donovan wear a hat!" |
|
Subject: RE: I am sick of the beatles From: GUEST Date: 10 Jun 15 - 08:30 PM It's not just the Beatles. All that pop music that I once thought was sublimely beautiful now sounds like garbage. It's like Miley Cyrus but without the strip show. Even at the time I knew there was usually only one good song on an album. Those hit songs, such as Suite Judy Blue Eyes, now seem just barely tolerable, and the rest of the stuff on each album makes me want to run out of the room screaming. By contrast, folk and folkish singers from that time sound as good now as they did back then. And older pop music, from the 30's and 40's, holds up pretty well too. |
