This is like asking someone to choose their favorite kid....okay a little dramatic...but this is a hard question...

Favorite Beatles Album: Abbey Road

Top 5 Beatles songs: Fixin a Hole, For No One, We Can Work it Out, Oh Darling, the Abbey Road Medley (can I count that as one song...? Well I'm gonna!)

Best Beatles Moment: Wow...this is hard....from Help! When their in the bathroom and an attempt is made to get the ring and Macca's sleeve is ripped right off....that just gets me everytime....

Also - in the ticket to ride "video" after Paul falls or something the look on his face is priceless...

You, who don't know anything about it.....****ing hell, I've been in school again and the teacher's ticking me off and marking my work. f*ck you all. If nobody can recognise what I am, f*ck em.

This is fr****** awesome, I never knew this before.

This is all so very,very hard...!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite album...I've always been more of a song person.
"She Loves You"
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
"Dear Prudence"
"Strawberry Fields"
"Hey Jude"
I have to stop at five?!!!! Ahhh... LOL!
Never saw ANY of them live

My favorite "moment" would have to be a personal "memory"...When my brother and I were
VERY little, we used to do this strange little dance to "I Am The Walrus"! LOL!

This is very hard. I'm a Beatles fanatic. They were the greatest band ever, by far. No one else is even close.

Favorite Beatles Album:I'll list my top 5

1. Abbey Road(the best album by anyone ever)
2. Sgt. Pepper(the second best album by anyone ever)
3. Revolver
4. Rubber Soul
5. The White Album

Top 5 Beatles songs:This is very hard. I love most of their songs, except for maybe a few Lennon songs. I'm not sure I have an actual favorite. These are just a few off the top of my head.

1. Something
2. Hey Jude
3. Here Comes The Sun
4. Eleanor Rigby
5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Best Beatles Moment:Probably when I was old enough to get my first Beatles albums. I bought Let It Be & Abbey Road many, many years ago.

Concerts ( solo too) you have been too:I'm more of a George Harrison fan as far as their solo careers go. He only toured once in the U.S. & I missed that. So, I've never seen any of them live & I was way too young to have seen the Beatles before they stopped touring.

Patti · #9 10-06-2004, 06:38 AM

These are hard!

Favorite Album: Sgt. Pepper, for nostalgia's sake. It was the first album I ever owned.

Favorite Songs: The Long and Winding Road, Eleanor Rigby, Magical Mystery Tour, Strawberry Fields Forever, Hey Jude (and about a gazillion others).

Best Beatles Moment: Seeing them live on Ed Sullivan when I was a LITTLE girl. I fell in love with Paul McCartney then.

Concerts: Only one, I saw McCartney in...I think it was 1992. He did a ton of Beatles stuff. Started the show with a video tribute to Lennon. It was amazing. I would rate it as my number one concert of all time.

**mylittledemon** · #11 10-06-2004, 03:05 PM

Favorite Beatles Album: Probably Revolver

Top 5 Beatles songs: 1) Daytripper 2) And Your Bird Can Sing 3) Here Comes the Sun 4) Paperback Writer 5) Long & Winding Road

Best Beatles Moment: Hands down, the video with John singing "I am the Walrus...koo koo katchoo!"

Concerts ( solo too) you have been too: None. Would've loved to have seen Harrison and Clapton on that tour they did in the early 90s.

Gwillaker · #12 10-06-2004, 06:00 PM

Favourite album? Hard to say. I like Rubber Soul. I guess Sgt Pepper is the big landmark in rock history, and its great, but it doesnt stand out to me that much just as an album to listen to, ya know what I mean? Its all great!

As for concerts, I was lucky enough to see two Beatles! It still amazes me to think I've seen half of the fab four. I saw Ringo in '98. That was a great show. Great band, he had Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), the fella from Free and I forget the other fella's name. It was like seeing several great gigs in one!

I saw Paul McCartney last year, and that was a great show.

chiliD · #13 10-06-2004, 06:18 PM

Fave Beatles album: (Actually, it is whichever one I'm listening to at the moment) But, actually I'd say it comes down to a tie between Rubber Soul and Revolver.

Songs: (yeah, right)...I'll list a very nebulous "top 5" (It could be a totally different list if I'd done it at any other time than right NOW):

And Your Bird Can Sing
Run For Your Life
Get Back
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Saw Her Standing There

Concert: Hmmmm...saw George in 1974, Paul w/Wings in 1976, the first Ringo All-Starr Band tour (whatever year that was) and Paul again three out of five nights at the GW Forum during his Flowers In The Dirt tour (1988?) Oh, to have only been in Tokyo when George played there with Eric Clapton's band backing him up...the Live In Tokyo album is great, but I think being there would've been that much better.

Acutally..."koo koo katchoo" is Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson"..."I Am The Walrus" is "goo goo ga-joob".
