I was unaware of this law, or at least that it would apply to this kind of forum. The laws of copyright are intended to stop people profiting from other people's work not to stop them discussing it. Given that the lyrics of every song ever written are available for free on countless websites, the law seems rather strange. The song I quoted can even be played for free on the official John Lennon website.
Anyway, assuming I end up in the same place as John Lennon I'll make a point of apologising to him. |
I've been smacked down recently for quoting too large segments of lyrics. It's mainly a matter of legally protecting the site from lawsuits. I've been told a paragraph or two is OK provided the lyrics aren't just a paragraph or two, of course.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I understand and will restrict my lyric quotes to shorter sections in future.
The law doesn't always work the way it's intended to and I think this is a good example.
Artists thrive by having their art discussed on forums such as this and there is no threat to there income by this sort of thing.

Some say Band On the Run is the best album the Beatles never recorded.

Every one of them have some good solo songs. But I think that George Harrison was the most humble and most authentic of them as soloist. His "All Things Must Pass" album is very good, and also his "Living in the Material World" album. He also was a good lyricist, very critical of several things in the world.
Paul`s first album was good. "Ram" more or less, mostly for "Uncle Albert", "Monkberry Moon Delight", "Smile Away" and "The Back Seat of My Car". Most of his Wings period was below the good quality the Beatles offered. But since 1980 (after Wings split) he has some good music, with some exceptions, like his collaborations with Michael Jackson.
From Ringo, I think that his "Ringo" album from 1973 is great. He is also a very good drummer, in my opinion.
From Lennon, I like his "Mind Games" album, followed closely by his "Imagine" album. By the way, Alan White, Yes`drummer, played with Lennon in the "Imagine" album and in the "Instant Karma" single. He also appears in some tracks from Harrison`s "All things must pass" album, but it is impossible to kwow on which tracks he played.
If the members of The Beatles as soloists could be included in Progarchives, I think that could write some good reviews for their albums.

I must admit it that "Live and Let Die" is my favorite Beatle's song. I've always love Paul after John, but this is exception! "Live and Let Die" isn't only my favorite, but it's one of top 3 Beatle Solo songs!

Phil Collins also played congas on "All Things Must Pass" (allegedly).

I picked John Lennon - 'other'. I think "Working Class Hero" is a classic.

Ringo Starr's drumming on Abbey Road is constantly inventive. Some modern drummers iritate me, because they need to know less is more - but he always makes me listen for the right reasons.

I like Ringo as a drummer, but not a solo artist.

Pretty much anything off the Plastic Ono Band album - Working Class Hero, Love, Isolation etc. Phil Spector's stripped back production is perfectly suited to Lennon's soul-baring songs. At the time of writing Lennon was experimenting with primal scream therapy - the album communicates a similarly cathartic experience. In my opinion it is the best of all the post-Beatles albums.
