what's wrong with Hard Days Night?

nothing wrong with it. it's just never really floated my boat. much better songs on later albums.

[Kowalski]

Youtube and Google have changed their logo for Lennon ...

Really nice touch from Google. *thumbs up*

Describing anything they did is "underrated" is silly but AHDN is really underrated.

well i'm having a listen now, and forget about a couple of great tunes there. as an album, it's pretty good. as a beatles album...

[The Nal]

I've always loved the Beatles doing covers...

Me too.

Rough, but its the first run through.

And this is they way they used to do it.

[The Nal]

Also, from that list: "66. Nowhere Man". What halfwit made that decision?

If anyone fancies singing along........ this is great.

Check out the bum note from Macca at 1.43.

not enjoying todays lennon w*nkfest. wish he was still alive, then we could focus on better musicians.

[ampersand]

and you felt the need to post that in the middle of a thread of people happily remembering him..

c**t

perspective is a good thing

Run back to your x-factor thread little boy.

[ampersand]

what if #9 Dream IS the most beautiful song ever written to someone?

and you said, or implied, that he wasn't a good musician

I have as much perspective as you, and I KNOW for a fact, that those songs are going to easily stand any test of time

better musicians, doesnt imply that he's not good.

had pete townshend been shot by some nutter we'd be having the same thing on his birthday.

[sifi]

In my head you can only compare Lennon to one man.

[ampersand]

let's get this clear...

you could be doing something better than talking about John Lennon, but you've got nothing better to do than to inform us of this??

what's Pete Townshend got to do with it?

the fact that pete townshend isn't dead. if i'd compared him to bob marley that would have been silly. similarly if i'd compared him to freddie mercury. coincedence that the best folk are dead? think not.

[ampersand]

mick?

[ampersand]

whaaa...??

will there be huge jizz fests for bob dylans 70th? nope. will there be jizz fests for paul mccartneys 70th? nope

is there a jizz fest for john lennons 70th? yup.

spot the difference...

[ampersand]

did Bob Dylan get shot outside his home...

or Paul McCartney?

I have no idea what your point is

eh, you just made my point....

does getting shot out of one's home make one a better musician? seems like it.

[ampersand]

who on earth suggested any such thing..??

christ, it's not that hard to get. being dead increases ones popularity and status.

people are talking as if lennon was the greatest songwriter to walk the earth. had mccartney been shot and not lennon, then roles would be reversed. pretty simple really. i try to judge music on the music, not the mortality of the performer.

[ampersand]

yea, cause Lennon was considered a bit of an insignificance before he was shot...

many people think he was the greatest songwriter, the fact that he was shot as he was having a comeback, simply contributed to the devastating (to millions) event that it was

are you pissed?

so should lennon have been alive today, he'd be seen in the exact same way?

and had mccartney been shot instead, he'd not have an increased status?
