    My no.1 favourite song of all time. Beacause of the melody and John & George's harmonies.

    I wouldn't argue - It would definitely be on my Desert Island Discs list

    I know i've mentioned him before on here, but check out Howard Goodall's Big Bangs - The Beatles on youtube for a detailed look at just why The Beatles were so amazing.

    Woah, blues america on BBC 4? This thread is pretty well timed Skid!

    I would just quickly like to note my appreciation for Paul's hair in the concert that's on now.

    He's my idol in so many ways. :-D

    I must check that out, cheers Ol 'Donie.

    I've watched some of Howard Goodall's programmes but I think I missed that one.

    ha, cheers man! yeah, that looks like an excellent programme - the Blues had to be exported to Britain before most of America would recognise it. Cultural Fusion at it's best. See y'all back here for that one :)

    I loved the way he got a rock in Linda, she got a lot of stick in the days of Wings from the British Press for being beside him all the time.

    They were a couple who worked really well and had a great "togetherness" on stage and off.

    I love looking at the old footage of gigs, they were so much more fun then with the "awe" of the smoke and a few fireworks...........and as for lazers!!........

    And then you threw in a James Bond theme.......bliss!

    Paul's Solo career tends to get overlooked ... but he has consistently written excellent songs.

    Here's one of my favourites

    His catalogue is just staggering. I'm at pains to point out to anyone i ever talk to about music just how incredible it is.

    The Beatles knocked out all of their albums - Please Please Me through Sgt Pepper and on to Abbey Rd & Let It Be - in seven years. 12 albums.

    To put that in context, U2, amazing as they are, are due to release their 13th album in the coming months. They started in the late 70's..

    But don't forget, most of The Beatles no 1s weren't on albums.

    And that's before Wings or any of the solo stuff!

    This has to be on my D. Island Disc list.............

    The Long and Winding Road...




    And I'm not forgetting "The Frog Song".......in my very own jukebox.......:) on 45 and sounding every bit of it!! (Well, it is nearly Christmas....) :)

    Well said Donie, it's hard to contextualize how rapidly The Beatles changed music. Calypso and Skiffle were popular when they started out.

    If you ever get that time machine working, give me a shout!

    Edit: He sang the original for the Moody Blues too

    off topic, but - nice documentary here about when Michael Jackson spent months in Ireland with his kids

    Well worth a listen

    In 2006 Westmeath taxi driver Ray O'Hara found himself with a VIP in the back of his cab, and a fare that would last 6 months with the King of Pop.

    Denny Laine?

    Sounds like a tribute act.

    I remember a Lenny Pane a few years back.

    Ah, Let Em In is just magic. So simple, but lovely.

    Isn't is gas to think they were so keen to see the interview on the telly - it was a big deal to see yourself on the box in those heady days..........

    And nowadays...........Well.......:(

    I'm kinda of glad the greats didn't have that type of media coverage.

    Bands nowadays won't have a "raw footage" clips, all they will have is "formatted rubbish".

    Did you notice the bubbles being blown out over the stage a while ago? :-D
