Do you like the Beatles?

@Penny Is your surname Lane, by any chance? Lol :)

@HairbrushDiva lol no

@Penny If you'd answered my Roy Orbison post I'd have asked "Is your surname Arcade, by any chance?". Lol :)

@badminton I think that the breadth of their output (not volume, but musical breadth) and # songwriters gives the Beatles a very solid position.

One-hit wonders are creators of great songs, by definition; but one great song doesn't put them in contention with a slot alongside the Beatles.

I do think that we need recognition for the "few hit" wonders, though.

@badminton Actually, when Paul McCartney heard Pet Sounds for the very first time, he hailed it as one of the best albums ever made.

@AliceinWonderland That one sounds pornographic. Come together, right now, over me? How did they get away with releasing that all those years ago?

@Lilymoon “I would like to just list what we did and what the Stones did two months after on every f***n’ album. Every f***n’ thing we did, Mick does exactly the same – he imitates us.” - John Lennon

@graphite Well in their defense they have a much bigger catalogue .... but I don't doubt Mick was copying.

@Lilymoon I don't think so. Mick Jagger doesn't remind me of John Lennon.

@Barefooter25 They both still have a fervent following where I live.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters They still have a fervent following where I live. It's only about 40 miles from Liverpool (where the Beatles came from).

@Canuckle I heard it on the radio, that's why I picked it.

@Jimmy2016 How did Yoko break up the Beatles? What are you thinking?

@Jimmy2016 They were breaking up anyway. Yoko didn't really cause anything, other than to irritate the other Beatles by showing up in the recording studio everyday.

@graphite That sounds more likely.
