    Should be in the other thread about phrases but Radio 4 described it as 'Stagflation' this morning.

    More like who's got the least annoying whiney bleating singing style. Dylan wins but only just.

    Thing is with the Beatles, people just over analyse them. They made a great noise, killer tunes and got managed very well in all departments. The Beatles Circus came to town and owned for about 5 years. You can't beat that.

    Can't wait for Bicks to comment on that :-) He will be seething when he logs on and finds this thread. I predict a riot

    he changed the arrangement or something and even helped with the lyrics as Paul was struggling on bit sof it .. when they bitchiness started in the 70's Lennon denied any knowledge of the song and said it was "All Pauls" but if you read some of the obscure Beatles publications I have then Mal Evans etc point to Lennon's input it's often the way they worked so not that big a deal and McCartney may still have produced the same song without help Ah OK. I thought you were going to say Lennon wrote the bridging part (why she had to go etc). Agreed.

    :shock: other way around for me , even Mc's greatest moment "Yesterday" only came to be due to Lennon's input How come??

    Have a listen to "She Said She Said" off Revolver. It could have been released by any guitar band today.Timeless music.

    You are a man of knowledge and good taste, sir ;-) But he likes George the best so there goes the taste

    Compare it to "Yesterday", which McCartney dreamt. Or, "Ticket To Ride" Both off Help 1965

    Well you know where my vote goes However, I listen to the Beach Boys and love what they did, but for me it just doesn't hit the spot. I soon get tired of listening. But with the Beatles ( pre White Album) I hang on every note of 90% of their songs. The Beatles weren't just the band, they played out of tune a lot in the early days, McCartney comes across as an arse in interviews, Lennon's songwriting was inferior to McCartneys, but when it all came together those few short years nothing can hold a candle to them, even to this day. Sorry Rantin, the Beach Boys were less popular and deservedly so
