 Fab Four |

Do you mean
their actual recorded music, their songs (for example as covered by other artists)?
I think both. My daughter is a big fan though I came to only after they split up, so she's two generations dowen the line.
She sings the songs with her friends on singstar or somesuch computer game
Awesome stuff, listen to this acapella of "because"
www.youtube.com
Apparently it's inspired by Moonlight Sonata played backwards. I will get back to you on that one

Without a doubt
Their influence is just too deep. John may have been right.

An Icon
The Fab four are an icon, and they changed music history.

Lennon and Mccartney
An incredible duo. They left a legacy.

Lennon & McCartney.... a bit of talent there. I'm more of a John Lennon fan these days, he was just getting cooking after he got back to NYC and recorded Double Fantasy with Yoko. A really upbeat and honest LP....John was a piece of work...wow. Paul seems to have gone the soft pop route recording wise, but he and his band are one of the best live shows available in your basic "rock n roll....lets have fun" genre.
I saw a BBC thing a year or so ago where Paul came on a small stage in front of an audience of 100-150 people . All sorts of instruments on the stage. He gave a little primer about song crafting, using different instruments as the melody or chorus or bridge or basic rythmn. He'd play a 3 note riff or more and record it and then play that back and improvise another layer on top of the original. All the while he talking to the audience and describing his process and different ways one might go about things.
The Beatles....rock n roll band without peer.

Ringo a good drummer but not a great drummer. He had charisma and who could but help liking someone who did Thomas the tank. George studied guitar at a Liverpool classical college and according to one of the teachers was the best pupil they ever had. He was my favourite.

Ringo Starr..." I wasn't the best drummer around, but I played with these lads called The Beatles."
George's style was, it seems to me, in counterpoint to John's blues. George had a more airy feel, where John was kinda gritty.

Ringo
Best drummer in the world? ... "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!" (Lennon)

good one, obsteve. lol. aaaaaaahhhh. lol. so funny and so true. The Beatles rythmn section didn't rely much on Ringo.
Heh...anybody got a Beatles tune running thru their head right now? lol... I've got Paul's bass lead in Day Tripper locked in.

I am a Lennon fan but was a bit disappointed in the tribute filmed from New York. I really liked the tribute to George hosted by Clapton. Has anyone watched these DVDs as I would welcome a second opinion.I think one has only to think of a Beatles number and it runs though ones head. Hey Jude.!

Harrison
I think he was so talented as Lennon and McCartney.
George Harrison was the spiritual man of the four. His songs are about spirituality.
