I love Beatles music. I'm old enough to vaguely remember when they were together as a band. My little granddaughters and me watch the Yellow Submarine over and over. They love to holler out phrases from the movie: The meanies are coming!

some of my faves:
"Yellow Submarine"
"Paperback Writer"
"Twist and Shout"
"Get Back"
Actually the only one I don't like was "I Am the Walrus". I think the drugs must've gotten to them by then.

"Twist and Shout!" Is my favorite. But at times I feel like the "Nowhere Man".

Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, The Beatles. (“Hey isn’t that that band Paul McCartny was in before ‘Wings’?”) Musicologists say there’s no telling what people in the 22nd century will think was the great music of the 20th century. The Beatles have endured for more than a quarter-century now. Can you remember what was “hot” just one year ago?

I'm a music collector and the Beatles are very important to modern music, so YEAH I have multiple copies of all their albums, CDs, LPs R2R tapes. My favorites are Rubber Soul, Sgt Peppers, and their swan song, Let It Be. Oh and the White Album, Abbey Road, HELP, Magical Mystery Tour. ... and don't forget ... well you get it.

McCartney's early solo material recorded in his garage/basemenet is the best of his solo career, IMNSHO.
I really wish Ringo had done more with his time the last 20 years. He's great, but there's no excuse for not sharing his talent, more. If only ...
John also had recorded many songs of just himself, but they are under control of Yoko and we may not see them for years. I believe she has held them in secret as a way of imbedding privacy and secrecy as a part of the artistic expression they contain. We may never know.
George always had a way of expressing his 'blue' nature in a way that will live on past the lifespan of his fans. Even his 'happy' songs seem to have a dark and forboding undercurrent.

I was 7 yrs old with a 4 pound transistor radio plastered to my head constantly playing doowop when I first heard the Beatles. I have literally thousands of different recordings (over 40,000 songs available on my computer network alone) from all genres of music to listen to any time I want and I still choose the Beatles at least once a week for a spin or two. Oh, yeah! I'm a fan.
