Anything done by the Beatles that was written by Ringo???
I JUST CANT STAND THE BEATLES IN GENERAL
Just when I was starting to like you...
I never got the whole Beatles thing either....

Im a big Beatles fan but to each their own. I must say I don't buy the "first boy band thing" mainly because the Beatles wrote their own songs and played their own instruments which isn't something I could say about N'STINK, the Backstreet Boys or any of the teen pop that's so popular these days. A more accurate description would be Herman's Hermits, the Monkees and many others from back then but the Beatles were never a "boy band" at least not one fitting the definition of what passes for a boy band these days.

He sells them at his live shows (at a very hefty price) too. Alongside of them is a sign that says (I'm paraphrasing) "DO NOT request any of these songs, David will not play them live"

Perhaps, but at least they can say they wrote it and perform all the instruments on it themselves. Not to mention, not everything has to be "A Day In The Life", some of Buffett's songs are frivilous at best which is a big part of their appeal, at least to my ears.

AND I COMPLETELY AGREE ON THE MEANINGLESS SONGS.MY ISSUE IS THAT EVERYONE THINKS THAT ALL THE BEATLES SONGS ARE THESE HUGELY IMPORTANT MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC.I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST THEM IF PEOPLE WOULD ADMIT THAT THEY WERE JUST POP GROUP.

They may of started that way (as a "pop" group) but like Elvis and only a handful of other bands they did change the course of music history. Just ask Brian Wilson.

A good day for Brian Wilson anymore is when he can remember his own name, and he's not too afraid of the front lawn to leave his house. 40 years ago, his opinion might have carried more credibility.

Brian Wilson is about to embark on a tour this summer beginning in the UK performing the legendary long lost Beach Boys album, Smile. Not so long ago he also toured playing the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds in it's entirety. He's also working on a new album of all new studio material that's supposed to come out next month. I'm guessing he'll tour behind that as well. I realize that man still has problems but I think he shook a lot of those off when he got rid of Eugene Landy.

What I meant by "ask Brian Wilson" is referring to when the Beatles and the Beach Boys were rivals of sorts back then. When the Beatles released the milestone album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, the recording techniques they used sent Brian Wilson scrambling to the studio while he was working on the aforementioned Smile album. In fact, Sgt. Pepper's sent ripples throughout the entire music community for the innovative techniques they used.

I may not be fond of either Charlie Daniels or DAC's lyric changes but those songs belong to them so there's really not much any of us can do, nor would I want to actually. The strange thing about DAC are the overtly racist records that he made back in the 70s which he now apparently disowns just happen to be for sale (along with his "country p***" albums) on his web site.

I agree that they have a right to change their lyrics as they wish, but if I were paying ticket prices expecting to hear these songs, I would at least like to know up front that they had been changed, or they wouldn't be played at all.

Without the Beatles White Album, the terms "in stereo" would not exist...

Without stereos, maybe the Beatles wouldn't exist?
