That's what happens when a lackey is designing your album sleeve!
Come together
LMAO, I just realized how appropriate that is.

I'm just a pup, as I wasn't yet a teenager in the Sixties, though I remember a lot from that time. You do well to give credit to Dylan's anthem of the era.
The Beatles were an impressive band that contributed a lot to the counterculture of 1964-66After that the youth rebellion moved beyond them (not beyond Lennon, though) and other bands became more impor ...[text shortened]... lks like Englebert Humperdinck. Their différance was muted, while other groups moved forward.

Originally posted by eldragonfly"Hold you in his armchair"? No, that's not correct. John was a bright guy with words. Listen to the song closely and you will not hear the hard 'ch' sound that the word 'chair' would produce. That, and "Hold you in his arms, yeah" makes far more sense.

Originally posted by BadwaterI'll grant that Abbey Road isn't bad, but the marketing required an appeal to rumor because the music couldn't sell it alone. Moreover, it cannot compare to Tommy, which preceeded it by several months. Tommy has richer music, and a stronger story, and clearly influenced the album at the absolute apex of the rock and roll era, The Wall.
Not. Abby Road was as important as anything else done at the time and it showed just how good the Beatles could be. While the Beatles were constantly changing to something different, all other acts from 1963 were pointing to them.

Of course the output of bands in the 1980s and 1990s compares unfavorably to Abbey Road. The Beatles could not keep up with the Who, Pink Floyd, or even the over-commercialized Stones. Nor could they produce anything approaching the poetry of Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and the Dead. But compared to the bands that emerged in the age of Reagan and Thatcher, they were geniuses.
And now we have a song for all you RHP'ers out there in radioland. 😀
He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missin',
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
(lead guitar)
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all 'till somebody else
lends you a hand.
Doesn't have a point of view,

Nowhere man please listen,
you don't know what your missin'

Originally posted by tomtom232my favourite beatles songs are ''Lucy in the sky with diamonds'', ''Tomorrow never knows'', and ''sgt.pepper's lonely hearts club band''
I thought about putting this in the culture forum but decided it doesnt really fit.
Anyway, what is your favorite Beatles song of all time. Mine is a tie between "Let it be" and "Hey Jude"
Originally posted by BadwaterSpeaking of Beatles imitators -- you should try Laibach's full album cover version of Let It Be.

Originally posted by BadwaterNo you have it exactly reversed. John was clever with his lyrics yes, that's the precise reason why he wouldn't blurt out a "yeah" in the middle of a sentence or lyric. armchair is the correct lyric.
