Location: Hicksville, NY | This question is tough as I love The Beatles. Album-wise, I listen to both Rubber Soul and Abbey Road, more than the other Beatles CDs in my collection, so I guess that'll be my favorite. |

However, we do play a Bluegrass version of "I've Just Seen a Face" in our band. Does your band play around town anywhere????

There is far to much varied types of material to choose from but I'll say that Abbey Road is an almost perfect album.
I don't see how you can "in general" dislike the Beatles. Maybe it's a generational thing. I do remember a time in the early to mid-seventies when being a Beatle fan was uncool.
But just look and the depth and width of their catalog all done mostly done while they were in their early twentys. Early twentys!
Imagine yourself writing a "Something", or "Nowhere Man", or "Imagine" at that age. |

Location: Cork, Ireland | I agree, Slipkid, their work is very diverse and I don't think ANY of their songs are bad, I just figured the early work might be of less interest to most people. They were the perfect BAND, great songs, great singers, great instrumentalists, great production and arrangements... So many others with 0.000000000001% of their talent have been hugely succesful. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Another non-Beatles person here. I just never got into them. It's not generational with me. I'm 54 years old. I just was listening to (what I consider) much better music at the time. I already mentioned this in another thread. John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers made the Beatles sound like bubblegum. I DO however have to say that Ringo was pretty good in 200 Motels. (The Frank Zappa movie.) |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Interesting question - Who has the better catalog of material The Beatles or post-beatle Paul McCartney?
I was quick to choose Beatles, but then I started thinking about all the McCartney solo and Wings stuff. I'm not so sure anymore.
To me, the impact of the Beatles was that they were first, unique and really had no competition at least in the early days. That's of course a hell of an accomplishment. McCartney post-Beatles on the other hand had to live up to a huge expectation and do it against a wide array of competing writers and performers. Sure there was the occasional "Ebony and Ivory", but looking through his catalog I might tend to favor it over the Fab 4.

Location: Round Rock, TX | Favorite album - The Beatles (White album)
Favorite Song (to play) - Mother Nature's Son (followed closely by Day Tripper and I'm Looking Through You)
Favorite Song (to listen) - which ever one I'm currently listening to.
Favorite post-Beatles solo effort - All Things Must Pass
There are so many artists whose music I just love and that make an essential contribution to my life's soundtrack, but nobody equals, much less surpasses, the Beatles. There's never a time when I don't welcome a Beatles song - any of 'em. |
