My God. I thought about that after my post and realized I don't know if there's a bass!

"Tell Me Why" knocked me down when I was a kid

I mentioned recently in a thread I started that I am a huge Beatles fan. Therefore, by nature, I don't have a favorite because, to me, they created so many great recordings. But somehow the uplifting "Penny Lane" always makes me feel warm and good whenever I hear it.

I remember when it came out in early 1967 when I was 12, with "Strawberry Fields Forever" on the other side of that 45 RPM single. It was the first record I ever bought with my own measly money. What a great record!

This particular record, in large part, is what I meant when I said in my other thread that The Beatles brought me in my youth from a flat, mono, black-n-white world to 3D, stereophonic psychedelic color. (Meanwhile, BTW, TV had just made the total transition from B&W to color by early 1967, with the major push to convert occurring the 1965-1966 season.)

Then came their Sgt. Pepper's LP:

How much The Beatles' look and sound had changed drastically in just three years. Three years!

 

[ERPRECY]

Because.

Am a Beatle diehard so there's many, many more....

"Come Together" and "Don't Let Me Down" are the reasons I want a Rickenbacker.

That one and the taxman are my faves. Go figure.

 

[Telly]

So many songs to choose from, and such a broad spectrum over the years!

But I would say:

(1) You're Going To Lose That Girl

(2) You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

(3) a fun one:
"filling in the ticket in a little white book
in a cap, she looked much older
and the bag, across her shoulder
made her look a little like a military man"

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. Especially the video from the movie (Help!).

That is hilarious! If I ever meet you, I will kick you and then buy you a beer.

 

[MichaelB]

Who are the Beatles?

Wow, alcohol and threats of bodily harm. Acceptable standards for moderator behavior have certainly changed since I held the mouse.

No one ever said I was acceptable. But you still get that Sam Adams for making people smile.

 

[MichaelB]

No one ever said I was acceptable. But you still get that [-]Sam Adams[/-] [-]Lone Star[/-] Shiner for making people smilr.

FIFY

 

[REWahoo]

If you really want to fix it, make it a Shiner.

 

[steelyman]

I think John Lennon's birthday is tomorrow. I'll play "Twist And Shout".

 

[GalaxyBoy]

Favorite Beatles song? Whichever one happens to be playing at the time!

 

[Sarah in SC]

Here Comes the Sun, played while enjoying a Shiner, for REW's benefit.
