4. are you a member of you tube???
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 02:53 PM by alyce douglas
someone has put full recordings of albums on there, I guess they are a die hard Beatles fan, listening to Abbey Road now, unbelieveable escape.....sigh, even has the HELP album on there. It is under Videos, someone really went out there way to put this timeless music on you tube. Remember that song I Want You on Abbey Road, it was timeless back then and still is today.

How young they were then!

9. Yes and on the record player
I have Beatle records going back to the mid sixties. Also have some CD's for vehicle useage. Even have Sgt Peppers on Mono. All those snap crackle and pops adds to the music.

11. Yes - and so does my 10 year old son.
In fact, his favorite groups are the Beatles, Queen, and ELO :)

17. Yep. All the official albums, and several unofficial ones.
Some great listening there, even in the stuff that never saw that Granny Smith Apple label.

18. Oh yes... all the time.
So often, in fact, that both my daughters loaded up their portable mp3 player thingies with Beatles stuff *first*. I like that. :D

22. Heck, yeah! Why wouldn't we around here?
I've got a new generation to teach in this house. :) Our high school pep band's theme song was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--in 1990. Nobody beats the Beatles.

25. What else is there to listen to but the Beatles?
There are the Beatles and Beatles wannabees, like Oasis. They're worse than elevator music.

27. I do occasionally. But sometimes it just makes me feel ... too melancholy.
I start thinking about John Lennon being shot and how depressing that was.

Also, I was such a huge Beatles freak when I was in 9th grade (coincidentally the year he was shot) I think I over-listened to some of their songs.

29. No, I don't and I never did, even when I was in high school in the 60's.
I thought most of their music was overrated and that they were being forced upon me. I just never cared for them.

37. At that time I was really into the Beach Boys, Ray Charles,
Rolling Stones and many others. I think a lot of my dislike for the Beatles was because I felt they were being forced upon me. Unless you were there, you would have a hard time imagining the constant exposure to the Beatles. It was everywhere.

33. I listen to lots of covers of Beatles music...
last night the What's left of the Grateful Dead covered "Come Together" at the Deadheads for Obama thing...

Most bands I like do Beatles covers. And they are outstanding versions too...

44. I'm not the biggest Beatles fan, but yes I do still listen to them
I just found out that The Fab Faux will be playing near me in July, one of my brothers already wants to see them, and we're checking with my other brother tonight. If so, we'll all be heading for the show.
