Groovey and Funkey

[Reply #40 on:]

I remember having a good night with the girls when we went to the Cavan. That is the place where The Beatles play. We saw some live band playing some Beatles songs and they were really good.

I haven’t heard any Beatles songs for a long time.

Can I point out that "Groovey" and "Funky" were 70's words?

[Reply #42 on:]

So.... wait.... how did all those 60's hippies steal them from the 70's then??

I am a *huge* Beatles fan, and used to be a total John-lover. Having recently realised that Paul actually wrote most of the songs that are my faves I am coming round to being a Paul-chick. The only problem with Paul is that he didn't die young, and continues performing. It's not like he needs the money. Over the years I have arranged for steelbands, or solo steeldrum:
Lucy In the Sky
All You Need Is Love
Nowhere Man
I wanna Hold Your Hand (yeah, like they really wanted to hold your "hand"  )
All My Loving
Eight Days A Week
Something
Here There And Everywhere (I love this song)
Here Comes The Sun
Octopuses Garden
Oh Bla Di Oh Bla Da
Eleanor Rigby
Yellow Submarine
Love Me Do
Yesterday
And I Love Her
and
She's Leaving Home

HOW in the HELL did I miss this?!

My favourite Beatle....
Hmm...
PAUL.
Yeah, like that took much thought...

Favorite Beatle has to be Lennon. I like his solo work a lot more than the other Beatles' solo works, which is the deciding factor, to me, in the decision.

*sighs* I understand what you mean ... It would have been groovy to live - at least for a while - in the 60s: When vinyl wasn't stoneage-technologie, John and George were still alive and ...

Peace, ya all!

Beatle-wise, I definitely think John was the best in the group, with George following close behind. He was never afraid to take things to the next level musically, and his songs still cut to the core.

While Paul on the other hand was quite frankly was and still is a greedy pussy.

Other favorite 60's musicians:
-Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
-Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention
-The Doors
-Byrds

They're good too. Not to mention the Who and the Animals...

[edit]OH! And Cream too. Can't forget about them...

[Reply #54 on:]

Yes, The Animals ...

Eric Burdon's (singing) voice is wonderful, no doubt about it ^^

Something different:
What do you think about Frank Sinatra singing Beatles songs?

Since I'm a great Sinatra-fan (Sinatra! "Bluy Eyes"! "The Voice"!) I realy like them. Sure they're different to the original, changed to Sinatra's style, but still wonderful to enjoy.
I think it just shows another way to look at wonderful songs as "Yesterday" and "Something", completing them somehow ...

*still wishing someone will found one day a lost Sinatra-Beatles record*
