No way. Is Ax listening to Abbey Road?

I was bored and temporarily insane.

 

[phillyfan26]

Here Comes The Sun is the best song so far. It's composed well and stops before it becomes a bother.

Agreed and agreed. I've yet to see a person who dislikes that song. I think I described it last night as the "anti-Fix You."

Pfan!

 

[Axver]

Because was a bit of an irritating waste of a track.

Back to namkcuR's list...

Pictures Of You followed Every Breath You Take. I don't know if I'd call it new wave, as it is much later in The Cure's discography, but technically it's ok. And it's a great song anyway.

And Love Will Tear Us Apart is a win obviously.

It's worth a shot. What other Beatles albums have you listened to?

 

[phillyfan26]

Pfan!

How goes it, RBF?

 

[Axver]

Agreed and agreed. I've yet to see a person who dislikes that song. I think I described it last night as the "anti-Fix You."

I wonder if Khan dislikes it? I wouldn't go so far to call it an exceptional track or anything, since it's lacking in depth, but it's a solid example of its style and inoffensive to the ears.

 

[phanan]

Axver, based on your liking of The Shadows, how much of The Beatles' early material have you listened to?

Agreed. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, by the way. I'd say the only exceptional track they've ever done (that I've heard) is A Day in the Life.

 

[Axver]

It's worth a shot. What other Beatles albums have you listened to?

Obviously I've heard plenty of Beatles material (who hasn't?), but the only album I consciously knew I was listening to at the time was Magical Mystery Tour, which I didn't like.

Based on your review of Abbey Road last night, I'm surprised at this statement.

Axver, based on your liking of The Shadows, how much of The Beatles' early material have you listened to?

I've deliberately avoided their earlier material. Stuff like Please Please Me seems pretty much proto-boyband.

Hey Mia!

We lost Khan somewhere along the way, I think she passed out.

 

[Reggo]

How goes it, RBF?

Good! You? Still got your gold star?

 

[redhotswami]

that sucks jen came here right as i was leaving.
and did i miss something or did ashley get shitfaced after 2 drinks?

that's awesome. judging from her typing, it was about that time.

 

[Axver]

You Never Give Me Your Money didn't seem bad. Went past me fairly quickly anyway, didn't form much of an opinion. Sun King/Mean Mr Mustard/Polythene Pam seems like silliness trying to pass itself off as cleverness, which I never like. Some of the music of Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window is enjoyable though.

Based on your review of Abbey Road last night, I'm surprised at this statement.

That was over the top, but there was a reason for that. I think Abbey Road's by far better than Sgt. Pepper. I think it's definitely a classic. It's probably not in my top ten, but not too far out. It's close.

 

[Axver]

and did i miss something or did ashley get shitfaced after 2 drinks?

YES! She's a lightweight!

that's awesome. judging from her typing, it was about that time.

I'm convinced she HAD to be drinking.

Because was a bit of an irritating waste of a track.

it's the flow* of Because --> The End which makes it though... On there own most of the tracks on side B are pretty ho-hum, the whole outweighs the parts in this case...



























*huh?

 

[redhotswami]

ELFAAA!!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

ELFAAA!!

what up playah?!

*huh?

Obviously Sun King --> She Came In flows seamlessly, but it sounded to me like Because and You Never Give Me Your Money could be taken separately, and then there was a total change before Golden Slumbers.

I hate Carry That Weight. It's a song that has gotten stuck in my head in the past and irritated me no end.

 

[phillyfan26]

Good! You? Still got your gold star?

Of course.

You Never Give Me Your Money didn't seem bad. Went past me fairly quickly anyway, didn't form much of an opinion.

You Never Give Me Your Money = written by McCartney
Sun King/Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam = written by Lennon
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window --> The End = written by McCartney

 

[phillyfan26]

Elfa is correct: flow* defines the second half.

*C'mon, stop fucking around. WTF?

 

[Axver]

Carry That Weight --> The End seems forced. But the guitar's rockin', at least.

The Beatles started messing with the idea of a concept album on Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour and perfected it on Abbey Road.
