My personal beatlemania  

I think hey Jude don't take it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Remember the lyrics of Beatles.I think my uncle have a collection of Beatles Songs.I played it when I was young and It's good to remember those songs like It's hard day's night, when I working like a dog.

Hi palegemini,
My favorite is Strawberry Fields Forever.
I can say that I grew up with the songs of the Beatles. I lived in the province before and all we had that time was a radio and there was a station that would always play their songs. I also like Come Together, And I Love Her, Here There and Everywhere and many others. These songs don't really mean anything though, they just bring back my childhood memories every time i listen to them.

"And Your Bird Can Sing" and that whole side of Yesterday and Today was probably my favorite Beatles song for a long time, tho I love just about everything on the Sargent Pepper's album. I loved Lucy in the Sky and For the Benefit of Mr. Kite and When I'm Sixty-Four (lordly how that one is RAPIDLY approaching!)

And I sure can relate to "With a Little Help From My Friends".

I do confess I was a tweenie (that word didn't exist back then) and into my teens when the Beatles were the "Big Deal." Have no doubt I would've loved to have seen them live, as it is, I've seen Paul and Ringo live, but Maggiepie saw the group live - TWICE!

i know a lot of their songs because they were among my brother's favorites. they have fast and slow songs, silly and serious ones. 'let it be' and 'imagine' would be 2 of their universal and immortal songs. i did come up with a personal list many years ago i called beatles slo-mo but i misplaced it.

I am also an avid fan of the beatles and even lennon-mccartney songs! I just love their artistry. I liked very much the lyrics and melodies of the song they compose and sung. I love a lot of their songs but the first song that came to my mind as i was reading your discussion is the songs, IMAGINE and LET IT BE. I love these songs, they are probably the most famous ones.

hi palegemini my favorites are Let it be, hearing words of wisdom, mother mary says let it be, let it be, then the one I cant help falling in love with you, both my favorites, the words,the melody, also the funny little Yellow Submarine, cute.

I have that one too and the first one (1964 - 1966?)... I like pretty much every song they wrote (except #9), but my favorite is Let It Be. No reason, I just like it...

Im not a major fan of the Beatles but definately recognise the contribution to rock music and rock 'n roll. I although knew of them, was really introduced to them by Whitesnake. I mean, if you look at Whitesnake's first full album Trouble (19878), you may notice that they have a song ont here called Day Tripper which ofcourse is a Beatles cover. Now, the Whitesnake version is more suited to my taste but, I really do like th Beatles original. I also like Help! and All My Loving.

I learned about Beatles one day in my English ,it seems that he was famous for music,i known that it was a band who started rock and pop music which give the excitation to people by music.they have fans all around the world. maybe i should listen some music by them.

Hi Palegemini,

I saw the beatles when they first appeared on the Ed Sullivan show back in the 60s. I was 6 yrs old and I became hooked. My dad went right out and bought me their first album and then the second etc etc. I listened to them and collected their music thru all my growing up years. I remember wanting so bad to meet them and being infatuated with Paul and I was just a little girl. As I got older, I came to admire John and George a lot more and thought they were the most talented in the group. Then there was that whole story of Paul being dead and how if you played their album backwards , John could be heard saying "Paul is dead". The theory was that Paul was dead and a look-alike had taken his place. Crazy stuff, huh?
