Perhaps if you would have experienced it in real time it would be different.

I've never understood the buzz about "Tomorrow Never Knows", nor ever will ... even after watching the PH video Dean posted. I think the song's just a mess. (I don't expect you to relate.)

Eh, ... I feel like a penny hit the top of my head after being dropped off the top of the Eiffel Tower. You haven't heard two and you've already made up your mind about the one you did being the only great one?

I agree |
Kind of a tangent, but a while back I heard a live recording of a band, I think Van Halen, covering The Who's "Baba O' Riley;" and they switched the studio outro with "Tomorrow Never Knows" to great effect. I've never heard that recording again - might have been a bootleg?

My favourite is Abbey Road. I have never been the biggest Beatles fan.
|
|
I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!
Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

^^ No, it's the perfect length; the Beatles knew not to beat something to death, and that the pure distillation of a song or theme would have more emotional impact.

I only own those 2 albums by the Beatles and neither get played much. The Beatles produced amazing songs but not so amazing albums imo. (yes that is contradictory I know  )
The Alan Partridge comment is funny. I may actually be Alan Partridge as I prefer Wings

Don't know about critics or those fickle creeps who steer public opinion, but when I want to listen to the Beatles it's rarely Pepper's that I put on. It's Revolver, Rubber Soul, Mystery Tour, and I've even been on a bit of an early Beatles kick lately. I put on Abbey Road the other day and for the first time it just didn't move me....had to take it off. I think I just might've overplayed Pepper, White and Road, let's hope it stops there.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Both. And we may add candy floss and popcorn as well.

Why has Revolver taken over Sgt. Peppers?
