New Beatles song released

[Bill Walker]

Bill, I know I dismissed them as a band I thought were overrated, and I was, as usual, a tad harsh considering I'd never ventured into their albums.
Despite this, I don't think I actually slagged them off, I just thought they were a bit, well you know, too poppy, or too psychedelic at times for me.
I think I also said that only an idiot would dismiss them completely, and I made a promise to myself to give them some eartime.
I fully intended to have a week of listening to them, but a search on Spotify proved fruitless.
So, I'm more than prepared to buy a cd or two, where do I start? First album? I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what it's called lol.
Best wishes Bill

I'd go straight in with Rubber Soul and Revolver, they're what I'd call serious albums (not poppy)

Going to see McCartney tonight as it happens. I feel quite emotional after watching the official video. Brilliantly done by Peter Jackson.

Excuse my ignorance, where do they fit in within the discography?

Will be quite an evening I'm sure.
Now you mention it, that's a pretty special occasion, he's not getting any younger after all. Hope you have a great night

More of less in the middle years, just before Sgt Pepper , there are a lot of serious classic songs on those 2 albums which fans view as a pair. Revolver usually gets muted as their best, i'm not sure, maybe abbey Rd...but the albums they wrote in 6 years was incredible.

I’ve a mate who was and still is totally over the top about them.
I’m not saying I never got them. I mean, they wrote great pop songs. And the volume of their work at such a high quality really puts them up,there.
But Beatles heads just don’t get that not everybody rates them quite as highly.

It’s like talking to Oasis heads. A band I just don get the hype over as well.
Music is totally subjective.
I like the Beatles but they were of their time. There was other stuff around at the same time that I like better.

I know. Cilla black and Gerry and the pacemakers were even better. I would also add a couple of Ken Dodd tracks too.

I know you're trying to drop me in at your best advised point, and, I did ask for that. But your reply is just confusing, to a none beatles fan. I haven't a clue about any of the stuff you've said lol.
I'll start from the beginning I reckon.
As always Bill, best wishes

I've got a mate who is that obsessed with the Beatles he paid a grand for a brick from the cavern club.
Fair enough, it's his money he can spend it on what he wants, but...fuck me lol
