The Beatles

Sorry, but among all these threads, surely there’s room for one about the most important band of all time, right?
If you feel left behind—whether in terms of the subject matter or the emotional connection—that’s fine; just go check out something else.
For those with good taste (ahem), let’s fill this space with the wonders of the Beatleverse, shall we?

My favorite clip I saw about the Beatles, John and Paul were asked if they thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world. They said he wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles!
After Ringo wrote Yellow Submarine, it was rumored that the other boys told him, "Great job! Not put it on the refrigerator,".

All four of them are unique, and so are all their songs. Love Norwegian Wood and Strawberry fields.
My first deep dive into the fab was the blue album when I was 14. And both songs are on it.edit: Norwegian Wood is on the red album. Anyway, I listened to both of them endlessly back then.

The White Album, Revolver and Abbey Road
definitely a triptych of absolute highlights

For anyone feeling a bit confused by the colors: the "Red Album" is a compilation of songs from 1962–1966, while the "Blue Album" continues that with a compilation covering 1967–1970. The "White Album" (officially titled The Beatles) is one of their original studio albums. Sorry—just being a nerd!

@endo the blue album was my first Beatles purchase with the red being my second. Over the years I have purchased many albums by cd, their entire catalog digitally, and working on a few vinyl here and there.

This one always makes me smile:
That is wonderful. I hadn’t seen it before.

A few weeks ago I picked my 6 year old little girl Marilyn up from one of her school buddies birthday parties. Her friends parents took me to one side while she said goodbye to everyone and told me that after the usual party games, sandwiches, cake, etc that they put music on and asked each little girl for a song request to do some dancing to. After requests for Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, K-Pop Demon Hunters and the usual stuff, it was Marilyn’s turn and she asked for “I want to hold your hand” by the Beatles…
I’ve done a lot of things wrong in my life but hearing this made me think that I just might have got something right. I also couldn’t help but be a little sad too when I thought about the strange looks her friends must have given her..

Technically we are house divided as Paul is my wifes favorite while George is mine
Needless to say we have had this picture in the living room of every apartment or house we have lived in for the last 22 years

I knew that.Good start, though. And, of course, I'm on Georges' team too.
Tell us more about the picture ... -

I hardly remember actually buying it let alone where.
We just loved the negative image and colors
I wanted to get the one of george in similar style but knew well enough to pick my battles
It was early on in our relationship so we had almost no money and probably shouldn't have even bought the one we did.
I seem to remember eating only Ramen noodles (cheap dry american version that cost 10 cents per pack back then) for at least a week or 2 after
