I'm not a big Beatles fan, but I do like Here Comes the Sun

"Something" is one of my very favorites.

Funk you're overplaying your card. Beatles may not be your favorite artist, but to deny their artistic ingenuity is to play it too hard. The fact that other artists can use their works and make them sound great should show they have a solid musical base. Now I agree with John Coltrane as being very important, and I'm a musical idiot, not a well-trained musician a la creekster.

Beatles have forever influenced modern pop culture and music. However, they were immensely more talented than they average pop musician today, a la Britney Spears. They didn't have the vocal range of Mariah Carey.

Let It Be is one of my favorites. And Arch is right - the Beatles continue to exert a huge musical influence.

Funk, get a clue. I can't even see those videos, I'm at work and they're blocked. I just like to irritate you and then sit back and watch the fireworks. I'd think you would have figured that out by now.

You have really discredited your own musical intellect with that last post.

I'm surprised no one said "In My Life."

Lyrics to "I Will". Sentimental I know.

"

Quote:

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to--I will.

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you me to
You know I will
I will.

Perhaps the AZ SP would have benefited from the Let It Be lyrics:

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Speaking of interesting lyrics, Rush has some fascinating ones:

I was looking Rush's Tears lyrics:

Quote:

All of the seasons and all of the days
All of the reasons why I've felt this way
So long...
So long

Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion and that you had cried
For me
I can see

What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers and my body was weak
For you
The truth

What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
