Re: What song always puts you in a good mood?
From memory I only did that to annoy you. It worked pretty well!
hehehe. Yeah don't stop shit posting GG. It's all good fun.
I do tend to bristle at 2D representations of The Beatles being either a 'Pop Band' or 'Psychedelic' or 'hippies'. For me they're way to diverse to be captured by glib and simplistic framing.
I can handle people not liking them - everyone has their own tastes - but I think framing them in simplistic terms isn't fair.
I think one night on the wine I wrote a fairly long and rambling post about them, highlighting a range of songs that showed their broader credentials. Think it might've been in TwoDogs poll of Greatest English Bands..where he criminally refused to list them as an option!
The clip you posted of Paperback Writer in another thread is a great clip. Did you know it was Paul McCartney playing the lead guitar riff on that track?
They also recorded another on the same day in the same location called Rain. They had a habit back then of not including their singles on their albums.... which in hindsight is a bad thing. Revolver (probably my all time favourite Beatles album (it changes based on my mood) would've been even better had they included Paperback Writer and Rain on it. Same with Sgt Pepper, they should've included singles Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane on it.
