Even the old polydor record they made in Hamburg.

Ain't she sweet? :lol:

I prefer the version they recorded in Hamburg of Ain't she sweet, actually. Must be because I'm German.

The German producers just shouted, "Harder! Harder!", until it became a neat lil army march.

Anyway, Paul used to emphasize that The Beatles turned out to be the workers that took up the factory. By the time of Revoler and The White Album, Martin had been reduced to another sound engineer.

My favorite beatles song is Revolution #9.

Methinks my fave Beatles song is the reprise of Sgt Pepper towards the end of the album.

Found this quote from wikipedia:

Pet Sounds' greatest success was in the U.K., where it reached #2 in the LP charts. Its success there was aided by considerable support from the British music industry, who embraced the record warmly; Paul McCartney spoke often about the album's influence on The Beatles and Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham even went as far as placing unsolicited advertisments lauding the album in British music papers, at his own expense.

You know what this means, don't you?

pet sounds was sort of ahead of its time and didnt really fit into the misical rat race of the day. its true quality has easily withstood the wear of time and my young daughter was heavily impressed by is not long ago when i put it on not telling what it was (didnt even think she might be interested). i listened to it but she was caught by its genious initially listening with a half ear; what is this?

The Stones just have that high energy bad boy soul feel to them! They just simply rock!

Art is obviously subjective and maybe music much more so than other art forms because there is just so much out there. And it has probably been around since the dawn of man.

I listen to everything from trip-hop to opera to bluegrass to jazz to country to blues.

And I love the Beatles. Abbey Road is sublime. It has that concept album/Pink Floyd feel to it. And Paul's vocals on "Oh Darling", what a set of pipes and soul he had back then. What happened to McCartney? He got so syrupy and commercial?

But Rock and roll is is my first and favorite love.

And the Rolling Stones are Rock and Roll. And they transcend rock just like the Beatles do. They both have explored other genres of music.

But the Stones represent what I believe Rock is all about. R&R has always been about being edgy, rebellious, decadent , soulful, hedonistic, and entertaining.

Mick and the boy's represent all of this and more. They have a take no prisoners approach and they are so honest and unapologetic with who they are.

Obviously juvenille and sometimes contrived, but they deliver it with integrity and from the heart all the way.

And probably not the most technically accomplished musicians on the planet but they do what they do like no other.

The greatest Rock and Roll band ever.

My two cents ( too lazy to proofread and spell check)

Peace,

Tejas

It is a known fact that the recording studio of the Beatles at Abby road was seperated by one wall to that of Pink Floyd. When Pink Floyd became popular, the Beatles were known to have their ears against the wall doing some "Musical Espianage". Sgt. Pepper's may not be completely original either in that they were trying to get in on that Psychodelic element of the music that Pink Floyd were pioneers of. Who knows where the tail ends and the head begins?

As much as I know, Pink Floyd were overwhelmed when running into their four idolized divine heroes in the Abbey Road studios one day.

hey, this is almost like a filmmaking/cam/u name it discussion on this board - so much mis-information:

http://www.warr.org/floyd.html

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967)
The only full album the band recorded with Syd Barrett, who wrote virtually all the tunes here and puts a heavy stamp on the proceedings. Things start out slow, with a slew of crazed, wildly experimental instrumental passages that just don't add up to anything. Only the band's primitive, surf rock-influenced single "Lucifer Sam" breaks up the monotony. All of it seems like a rushed, amateurish effort to ape the Beatles' more experimental 1966-67 work on tracks like "Tomorrow Never Knows." But the second side is consistently entertaining, with five more imaginative, remarkably quiet and folky Barrett tunes like "The Gnome" and "Bike." Produced by Norman Smith, former Abbey Road tape engineer for the Beatles. (JA)

ill return to their instrumental capacities - havent decided how deep i wanna do it - may fly over the no-mop-tops as much as my cam tech posts - thus useless to have a transmitter when there no receiever.
