No, nobody actually uses the title in their professional lives. I imagine he will be Sir Richard but everyone will just continue to call him Ringo, just as his former bandmate is Paul.

When I...

About bloody time.

Congratulations to Sir Richard Starkey!!!:yay:

You have a very interesting & quirky list of favourite Beatles songs there, WS (I'm not sure how else I can abbreviate your name)? Obviously the Yellow Submarine period which many people dislike is...

This is mine but it is slightly different. I Will is one of my least favourite Beatles songs & Martha My Dear is a bit too much of McCartney whimsy. This is in order:

1. Back In The USSR
2....

The White Album is even more experimental than Revolver & I would guess that puts a lot of people off. A lot of the songs are very personal & quriky & don't really sound like The Beatles as people...

I'm glad you liked it. I could have been more detailed & more passionate but there's a limit. I agree about George (although Paul is my favourite).

Regarding Dig A Pony I think it's very clever;...

I cannot agree that the experimentation in Revolver buries the songs. This is far more true for the White Album.

Revolver is my favourite Beatles album not because of the experimentation, though...

I think you have approached it very well for a first listen. Your comments are appropriate given that you didn't know this was the start of the experimental period. I will write something more...

That's my point. For No-One is not sentimental. It is the complete opposite.

There is no need to apologise, chaim. You have explained it now. Except that Not A Second Time is a great track.

More random favourites of mine:

BF, I also love It's Only Love. I think it's a...

Wow. Those first four are amongst my absolute favourites (especially I'm A Loser). How in the world can anyone not like Doctor Robert & You Won't See Me? Good grief. I am afraid we are now going to...

OK then... which Beatles songs suck, in your opinion having taken note of your last post?

For me there are only a couple; Hold Me Tight & Revolution 9. Some of the very early pop stuff like Little...

For a very limited time here is Abbey Road Studios in 1996 & me walking across the famous crossing.

I started with Red & Blue too before I started buying the albums!

Yes. Mine was A Hard Day's Night. My uncle bought it when it was released as a present. I was 4 years old. I had no interest in listening to it until I got to my late teens & started listening to...

Also please note the line in my signature comes from one of their greatest songs, Come Together. This won't make sense tomorrow as I will change the signature then!

When I did it the tour wasn't run by the National Trust - I did the Magical History Tour where you saw the childhood homes from the bus.

It's not Desperado that has the Day Tripper riff in HFO -...

I wasn't implying the version in Love is the one on Anthology 3. I was just mentioning that the A3 version does have the extra verse.

No need to stop; yes, this is an Eagles message board, but this is a topic about the greatest band of all, the Beatles. Say as much as you like & then you will prompt me to do the same. Not enough...

The original version with the extra verse appears on the Anthology 3 CD.

I agree with this, except that I think George was a great guitarist. He was not flamboyant or overly technical but he made those songs what they were.

Here is a link to the Paul McCartney thread. I listed my favourite songs but not my favourite albums. I don't actually have that many.

You should at least have a listen to Band On The Run, which is one of the greatest albums ever made.

His latest album New is also worth a listen.

There is no such thing as a bad Beatles album. As well as In My Life Rubber Soul contains one of my top ten favourite songs, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) as well as Girl, which I heard...

Managed to find out more about Paul & Ringo's performances in the NY Times:
