Then I watched the Carpool Karaoke episode with him on YouTube and it gave me a new appreciation of him. Only took you 60 years then. If what he did on Carpool is your appreciation of Macca, then you need to listen a bit more to his stuff, both Beatles & Wings. You say you liked the Stones.....1st hit written by whom?. The Who did Miles & Miles to try to compete with Helter Skelter in dirtiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit weird huh but a great track. Oh yes, The Beatles are awesome. Urban Spaceman was produced by Apollo C Vermouth, aka Mr McCartney. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The one thing in life is that music does not age, it moves on but doesn't age. I grew up through the Beatles, Stones, Yardbirds era, those three I saw live. But there was much more great stuff going around at that time, especially Tamla Motown, us UK mods loved it... Oh gosh, no crash hats...........................???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think it was '66 , I bought Pet Sounds by the Beach boys. Same year Sgt. Peppers , Beatles. Brian Wilson thought Sgt. Peppers was the best album he had heard and P. Mc. thought Pet Sounds was the best album. As I have both , the best one is the one playing at the time. Both perfect. Maybe you have to be over 70 to appreciate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to Band on the Run but can only really appreciate the title track these days. I wasn't trying to set up a competition between the different bands. It is hard to live a life and not hear alot of Beatles and McCartney tracks unless you are living under a tree(or in Thailand). I was just saying to the OP if he was a fan he should watch the Carpool Karaoke episode. It was very nostalgic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have to be over 70 to appreciate them. It was Rubber Soul in Dec 65 which spurred Brian to do Pet Sounds in summer 66. The Beatles did Revolver in Aug 66 before Sgt Pepper in June 67. As you say, completely different albums, songs, production, but both brilliant. I think Pepper drove Brian to do SmIle, which if it had materialised, would have blown the place apart.

Long Tall Sally, Kansas City, I'm Down (funnily recorded the morning before he did Yesterday). Too many more. Yeah. The Beatles after Hamburg were the real deal rockers that made great music to sing along to. IMO LSD destroyed that, which is why I still listen to the Rolling Stones and hardly ever to the Beatles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I listened to a radio programme on lead guitarists.
