Your favourite Beatles song

[Scott]

Terribly overrated.

 

[moi]

 

[Mod]

What

Their sh*t? Not even as much talent as Status Quo!

 

[moi]

Yes, Status Quo are good for a singalong after a few drams (or pints if that's your tipple) but I've never bought any of theirs.

At the moment I'm listening to Bruce Springsteen.

 

[bjd]

Revolution.

 

[Valerie]

"Fool on the hill" and "Waterloo sunset".

 

[Lofty]

"Fool on the hill" and "Waterloo sunset".

Original titles Fool from Muswell Hill and Lime Street Twilight. Of course.

 

[Mr Chelsea]

not a big fan of the beatles

but i do like lucy in the sky with diamonds

 

[Enrico]

While my guitar gently weeps... mmm yeah, definitely.

 

[Backbiter]

At the moment I'm listening to Bruce Springsteen.

Went to see him last night at the MillStad in Cardiff. One of the best three gigs I've ever seen. Just phenomenal.

The other two were also Springsteen gigs - nearly 30 years ago.

I don't really like the Beatles much and have a loathing of their slower stuff like Strawberry Fields and Hey Jude. I much prefer their earler poppy stuff like Help, Can't Buy Me Love and I Feel Fine.

 

[moi]

I am consumed with envy! To see Springsteen live must be a fantasic buzz. What did he sing?

Glory Days? Born to Run?

Thanks for sharing that, Backbiter. I am now even MORE envious! I bet you felt every penny was well spent!

 

[Lofty]

I'm still not sure if I should be envious of Val, who says she's heard the Beatles doing Waterloo Sunset ...

Dirty old river, must you keep rollingFlowing into the night

People so busy, makes me feel dizzy

Taxi light shines so bright

Poetry

 

[moi]

the Beatles doing Waterloo Sunset - that's a bit kinky!

 

[Liam]

I Am The Walrus and I'm Only Sleeping

 

[midlandblue]

Saw her standing there.

[Backbiter]

I thought the Beatles never played another live gig after about 1965 or 66?
