I did a search a found several threads about the Bealtes but as far as I can tell, no "The Beatles" thread. So, well done Treyert 14!
I remember when the Beatles first played on TV on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was an amazing moment. The whole family watched!

I'm using the Greasemonky/Legacy Forum Style script and there is a box toward the top labeled "search" where I typed in "Beatles" and hit search which is how I found the other Beatles threads. Without the script though, I'm not sure how to search. But no worries- this is the only one I found dedicated to The Beatles in a general sense. :-)Treyert14 said:

So what's everybody's oppinion on Ringo Starr?? Great drummer? Or not so much?0

There are many bands beloved to me, but none moreso than the Beatles. Their music reminds me of Mozart's in a way - simplicity layered with complexity (and vice versa). Such a part of me and a staple of my musical diet.
As to Ringo - I ADORE HIM. Not a great drummer to my amateur ears, but he's so damned lovable and happy-go-lucky...reminds me of a goofy Labrador.
Love his voice too.0 -
Oh yeah, it was great! My brother and sister and my folks and I watched The Ed Sullivan every week- hardly ever missed a single one. My sister had heard about the Beatles and heard a few songs on the radio and was an instant fan and got me interested. So when we heard they were going to be on Sullivan's show we were glued to the TV. My folks were a bit confused by the whole thing but the boys were cute and the music fairly harmless (though certainly no Glen Miller!). It was probably all the hysterical screaming by the girls in the audience that blew them away a bit. But later when the Stones were on Sullivan I think they were a bit less amused. Those bad boys were just a little too edgy for my G.I. generation parents. But not me, I was mesmerized by the Stones! They paved my road to ruin.Treyert14 said:Well awesome!

) Or I should say, the road to my love of rock and roll. The early Beatles were cute, fun and cool and I loved the music, but the Stones set the bar higher for me. "It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
I agree hedonist, Ringo was definitely not the greatest drummer ever but he was a perfect fit for the Beatles. To me he was like the comic relief. And he was the smile and happiness to the Beatles 0

That's awesome thank you for sharing! Sadly I didn't live in that time period I missed out man.. But you really prefer the stones over the Beatles? What did you think of the later years of the Beatles? Like Abbey Road and the White Album? Not so cute and harmless? Lol

Oh gosh- it's just an age thing. My advise is to always keep a younger musical crowd in your company and you and your musical interests will never grow old and stale. (I think my peers refer to that quality in me as a bit of immaturity- but that's fine by me. :-) )Treyert14 said:brianlux said:

I don't really prefer one Beatles period over the other. When Abbey Road came out my friends and I mouthed off about how "Ringo finally learned to play drums" and "George and John finally have a good guitar sound". But that was late sixties and big guitar sound was the hottest thing. Looking back, the earlier Beatles stuff is amazing too- the arrangements, the use of minor and diminished chords, the harmonies- beautiful stuff. It's all great.
Actually, I try not to state one preference over the other because to me they are two completely different genres of music. The Beatles are the ultimate pop band with a strong emphasis on melody and harmony whereas the Stones are solidly blues based with a rougher texture and more grit. Over all the years I'm sure I've listened to the Stones more often than the Beatles but in terms of greatness I would hesitate to put one over the other. I think they stand side-by-side in terms of great British invasion pioneers.

I definitely agree. And I have a real problem with excepting newer music lol but I see what your saying when my older brother used to live with me all he listened to was new music and the more I listened to it with him the more I began to except it and actually come to love it. But after he moved out I held on to those new bands an my old bands and I don't really explore new territory anymore. So I definitely see what your saying.brianlux said:

Definitely! It had a lot of people scratching their heads for a good while. I always wondered just who it was that orchestrated that whole theory.Treyert14 said:
