I have to post on my thoughts on the Beatles. The Fab Four may not be my favorite band of all time, but I cannot overlook what they have contributed to music over many decades. My young Grand Daughter when she stays overnight here even asks to listen to them from time to time. They will never be out of style.

In this All Music Guide review of The Beatles early 1963 album,With The Beatles Stephen Thomas Erlewine says at the end of the very good review that still the heart of With The Beatles lies not in the covers but the originals where it was clear that even at this early stage The Beatles were rapidly maturing and changing turning into expert craftsman and musical innovators.

That was an interesting yet telling comment from Dylan. Lennon to me had that "edge" relative to personal relationships while McCartney was the more...uuummm...sappy one. A perfect contrast between their attitudes is "We Can Work It Out" judging from the verses they individually sing. I think Lennon expressed his views more in his solo work. It came with the maturity and freedom without the rest of the Fab Four.








No,not really true at all as Richie Utenberger wrote in his great long detailed Beatles biography for The all Music Guide,the stereotype was that John was the rocker and Paul the balladeer but the truth is they both wrote romantic ballads and ballsy out rock in equal numbers.The truth is though,it was Paul in his early solo and Wings career that was writing and playing the rock and hard rock and most of it was great.

This in another band that my Gramma has given me some of her CD's to listen to and I can see why so many people love them so much. These guys are a Classic Band that of course I have heard of and even knew many of the songs. How could you now. However listening to the CD's there has been other songs I have never heard of that are just amazing as the really popular ones.
