Zombie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Tomorrow it will be 50 years [5 Oct 1962] since "Love Me Do" launched The Beatles' recording career. The band was only together for another 8 years but their music had huge impact across the world, it has endured and seems likely to be around in another 50 years. Largely this is due to George Martin [the "fifth Beatle"] who signed them to Parlophone, even though he didn't really like their music at the time. You might think you know all The Beatles songs, but do you? Here are three of my favourites Norwegian Wood [1965] You've Got To Hide Your Love Away [1965] Edited October 4, 2012 by Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anya Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have a shirt of the Beatles. Not exactly sure why since they're cool and all but I've never really cared too much about them. But the shirt is cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hh5 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 anyone seen the movie "Nowhere Boy" A chronicle of John Lennon's first years, focused mainly in his adolescence and his relationship with his stern aunt Mimi, who raised him, and his absentee mother Julia, who re-entered his life at a crucial moment in his young life.

Bill W Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Beatles defined my gneration and if you look at the diversity of the music they created, the helped to revolutionize the genre. The songs posted above were terrific, but I think their Sgt. Pepper album was the most amazing of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddydavek Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Beatles were right in my generation and Sheron is right, Come Together is great. But I really like about 2 dozen more including: The following which starts out in B&W and goes to color: And the answer to all your questions.....
