By March that year everyone knew me as the beatle freak. And of course every stuffed animal I had was named Paul, John, George or Ringo. By December that year I owned 5 of their albums and 2 of their movies: Help and A Hard Days Night. A month later was my birthday and my parents got me beatles rockband. That night I went home and listened to Hello Goodbye on youtube. I played it and instantly fell in love with their music. I went to future shop with my mom and there was beatles rockband there. Now I had some introduction to older music because just months before I had been obsessed with the band ABBA. I'm going to start this when I first heard about the beatles. I used to get such a rush, such a good feeling from listening, reading and hearing about the beatles. But thats exactly what this post is about. I realize people dont read my blog to read about myself-they want to read about the beatles. xD lol, but putting all this aside, i must confess: I have restored faith in today's generation. Elvis and then he told me he also like 80's rock and he thought it was alot better then today's music and i was thinking MY GOD, I COULD JUST KISS YOU, MAN! but i didnt. we were sitting together in class and talking and i dont know how but we got on the topic of 50's music and he told that he liked 50's music! he named off people like Fats Domino and Little Richard. and it was so shocking! because this guy, Jakob, has been my friend for about three years and i've never heard this side of him. It was kinda like a weird discovery.ĭo you remember the post i made last year, about around this time of year called No One Respect Rock N Roll Anymore or something like that and i went off about how we saw a rock n roll documentary and people in my class were making rude comments? WELL, today i have found a person JUST LIKE ME! meaning, they dont like modern music and they like 50's and 80's and 90's rock. cuz to me, i guess they kinda are.Īnyway, the MOST amazing thing happened today. I'll picture these guys as old friends for the rest of my life. Not thinking of Paul as a brother figure, not john as a father figure, not George as a romantic figure and not Ringo as a friend figure.
I suppose this is how the rest of my life will go now. the old me, the beatle maniac, would've jumped up right in the middle of the computer lab and yelled "hell yeah, i love those guys!" but hearing it today, i just kept my eyes on my own screen and i had this kind of smile on my face. They were one of my favourite bands back in the day. He stopped at the girl's and she said she was researching old musicians for a project (aha, i was right!) and my vice principal says "do you know the beatles? You should search them up.
Right about then, our vice principal walks in, stopping at everyone's computer, asking what we're doing. I saw she was looking up some older musicians (my type of people haha) and i remembered i had to do an assignment like that when i was her age. It’s a feat unmatched by any act before or since, and with Peter Jackson’s Get Back reviving interest in their achievements, let’s pile back in to the most magical mystery tour pop music has ever known, with each track ranked in order of greatness.I was in the computer lab today. My friend was beside me but this other girl was beside him who was in a younger grade than us. Of their entire catalogue, only six or seven songs could be classed as ‘shonky’, and most of those have still got something historic going for them.Īmong them you’ll find songs which caused seismic shifts in pop, psychedelia and rock and the formative roots of punk, metal and electronica, amongst a panoply of other styles they pioneered and popularised in such a short time. Out of 185 self-penned tunes they released commercially during their initial seven-year run – so not including covers, fan club releases, alternative versions or their 1995 reunion songs – you’ll list well over a hundred tracks before you get to anything you wouldn’t call sublime, and hit 150 or so before anything verging on average appears. If you ever doubt that The Beatles were the greatest band that ever existed, try ranking their songs.
