"An impossible question....that’s like asking me to chose which of my kids I love the most! Baby You’re a Rich Man is a great shout though " It always makes me think of one of my dearest, most long term fwbs. "How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people". What I've loved most about Fab is that I've met men that I'd never have met otherwise because our circles are so different. You get to peep into each others lives and it's nice | |||

Yellow Submarine could be seen as a psychedelic post nuclear view on survival. Genius. | |||

"I have different favourites depending on my mood. I love Revolution, Tomorrow Never Knows and Across the Universe, but all are very different. I also have a real soft spot for the two songs that were released as singles with the Anthology albums —Free As a Bird and Real Love. I know they're not the Beatles finest works, but they're the only two released as singles during my lifetime, so it's the closest I'll ever come to the excitement folk must have felt at the time when the Beatles released new music.

"The thing is there are very few acts that virtually single handedly defined the way music would be shaped and influenced - The Beatles were certainly one of them and their influence can be felt in everything from pop to punk to rock and a whole lot more in between. Sure there are others, Bowie, The Stones, Queen and the likes of James Brown and even Bill Haley and Buddy Holly etc but The Beatles probably had the biggest influence of all" Do you know what. You are absolutely right. They defined the rock band as we know it today. 4 piece, singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer. Wrote their own songs. Before that it didn't really exist. I grew up in the punk era, many "old" bands were slagged off but never the beatles. Even on here to listen to the variation in music over 8 years, no one can match that | |||

Exactly. Elvis wrote nothing.
But without an Elvis, would there be the Beatles?"Yes there would - now if you had said without some of the rock and roll and blues artists that went before them would there be The Beatles then that might be a different story | |||

"The thing is there are very few acts that virtually single handedly defined the way music would be shaped and influenced - The Beatles were certainly one of them and their influence can be felt in everything from pop to punk to rock and a whole lot more in between. Sure there are others, Bowie, The Stones, Queen and the likes of James Brown and even Bill Haley and Buddy Holly etc but The Beatles probably had the biggest influence of all Do you know what. You are absolutely right. They defined the rock band as we know it today. 4 piece, singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer. Wrote their own songs. Before that it didn't really exist. I grew up in the punk era, many "old" bands were slagged off but never the beatles. Even on here to listen to the variation in music over 8 years, no one can match that "I’ve seen most of these live and been privileged? Freddy yes. Wham , yes. Michael Jackson yes. Madonnna. Yes. Fleet wood Mac yes Variation of flyod | |||

"Mum saw them live... she said it was a waste of money...all she heard was girls screaming.and screaming and screaming. She went to a Stones gig with my Dad...enjoyed it way more. My folks too. Said The Who were much better "It was quite cool to "retro" like the Beatles in the late 90s. I can remember my mum telling my mate that in the 60s, the Beatles were the kind of shite your mum approved of and if you were in any way cool, you liked the stones, and if you were cooler than that; the Yardbirds.... | |||

"I Am The Walrus A Day In The Life In My Life " In my life is my favourite. Beautiful lyrics. Also, Tomorrow Never Knows because of how massively ahead of its time it was. | |||

Buddy Holly/Crickets established pretty much the 4 piece band we know today (singer/guitar, bass, drums) and wrote their own songs. The Beatles were directly influenced but wrote some incredible music (and really also introduced the 5th member, the producer). Apart from incredible songs, as we've seen here, they created the format for every band since. | |||
