The best album hands down has got to be a pefectly blended two album mix between The Beatles white album and Jay Z's the Black album called the Grey Album. If you haven't heard it its a must for any true fan of music regrdless of what your forta is.

Word. DJ Danger Mouse. But it isn't actually the songs of the Beatles, just their riffs and general progressions, he took a lot of liberty with the mixing of it. It's good, however not the best by any means. Jay-Z does mix well with the songs, I can't deny that, but it's no longer the Beatles, for one, and for two...Jay-Z's kind of a stuck up prat. he's by no means "The Greatest".

Well I haven't been a "Beatles Fan" since about 1964, (Stones for me) but I always listened to them and paid attention to what they were putting out. Does anyone else remember them on "Ed Sullivan"? Or for that matter Shea Stadium?

The Beatles have produced some of the most timeless compositions and the majesty of Lennon & McCartney is awe inspiring. From the early pop releases like 'All My Loving' to the swirling psychedelic of hits like 'Tomorrow never knows' and 'Revolution 9' I can't think of any set of musicians who were as popular in their time as the Beatles.

But aside from popularity, their contribution to Rock & Roll cannot even be determined. From inventive new studio ideas (ie. John Lennon stumbling on playing tape in reverse while stoned) to pioneering string instrumentation in contemporary pop music.

Personally my favorite Beatles era would have to be 1965-1968.

Rubber Soul is a collection of great catchy melodic songs. I am definitely a fan of Lennons' songwriting in comparison to McCartneys', personally I think Johns' compositions lend to the psychedelic aficionado such as myself. I have a copy of this on vinyl for personal enjoyment.

Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, the White Album. All pieces of history.

Thats my opinion.

By the way, has anyone seen the footage of when they were invited to play for the Queen of England?

John tell the peoplel in the back to clap their hands, and the people in front (who could afford a ticket) to rattle their jewelry. The Queen was down.

The Beatles did not drop out gracefully. Ringo Starr quit the group temporarily, while recording The White Album, as a response to the tension among the members. They fractured to the point they could not release Let It Be until after they broke up. An album they disliked so much, they shelved it and recorded Abbey Road.

The post-Beatles music of the individual members is testament to their feelings about each other and the Beatles as a group.

Harrison released a three volume album, All Things Must Pass. A first for a single artist. A clear demonstration of the frustration he felt because his songs were set aside for the most part.

John Lennon's first post-Beatles album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is also known as the 'primal scream album.'

Paul McCartney released McCartney shortly after the group officially dissolved. He then went on to found Wings.

Ringo Starr. Well, Ringo was Ringo.

word, well, yeah. but they didn't keep going to make money just cause they were popular's what i'm sayin there. yeah, there was mad tension in the group, but in Let It Be (the movie) they were sayin like, 'it's all good, we still friends, just to much tension to make music together'

i can't name an absolute favorite beatles song either, but i would have to say i hold "across the universe" close to my heart, just because i think it's such a perfect song both musically and lyrically. i also like the story behind how it was written. also love "you've got to hide your love away" and "lucy in the sky". god, and so many others. i fucking love the beatles.
