This may have been triggered in part by one day listening to Tomorrow Never Knows on RP. In the past, I could never really get into this particular song but when I heard it that time on RP I thought - wow, this could have been created today, not sound dated and it would blow away everything current. Everything on this song - technique, style, experimentation, drumming (reminiscent of Ticket to Ride but faster tempo), etc pushed the envelope so far forward that no one has yet pushed it beyond it yet or created anything that has had so much influence on so many other musicians any other time in the past 50 years. (wow - half a decade ago(!) and we are still talking about this band). Don't get me wrong, so, so many great bands and so, so much great music out there . . . but, this band and this song, as well as a few other Beatles songs were pivotal to what we have been listening to over the past 50 years and even today (less much of the corporate "hip-crap" $—t glorifying particular lifestyles being fed down kids throats today). I've always been one to think that Sgt. Pepper was the big deal. It is a great album, but over time, I've come to the opinion that the turning point in the Beatles career were the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums. Sgt. Pepper was the icing. In addition, nothing has ever come close to the second side of Abbey Road in its polish, flow and beauty. Fitting that McCartney's chose to close off the album and their career with "The End" and the last recorded Beatles line "and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." That line sums up the Beatles soul over the years and life in general. A highly recommended book I read last summer is: Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America , by Jonathan Gould, on Amazon. Long Live Radio Paradise and your so huge eclectic mix of music. Cheers. I was going to make my own comment but I couldn't have said it better than this. I totally agree with all your points. I went through Beatlemania in 62-64 living in Germany (service brat) as a young boy just as they broke out of Hamburg. Then moved back to the states a few months after the Ed Sullivan show and all that. So major Beatlemania for several years as an impressionable kid who was really into music. I felt the same about Sgt. Peppers but when I got older it became apparent that Rubber Soul & Revolver were the real turning points in what they became after. Revolver remains my favorite album and Tomorrow Never Knows my favorite from that album. 100 years from now The Beatles will still be out there. Thanks for the book recommendation! [ Reply ]

However I disagree with the rest of your argument. While the Beatles do have a certain universal appeal, a big part of it in my opinion is the fact that they pioneered so many types of music and methods of playing. 75% of the music that has come out since (or more) can have a direct link drawn to the Beatles. There's a reason that so many artists list the Beatles as a major influence, and it isn't because they don't want to offend the great unwashed. No, it is because they were really good which is the main point of my entire argument. [ Reply ]

I love this song - it's ethereal, simple and complex, and just good for the ears (hi, romeotuma! ) I have rainbows dancing around my room from a prism hanging in my window, and it's beautiful and inspiring. I think I feel my muse coming back from points French. Meanwhile, thank you, RP. Always, you provide music that makes us react, whether positively or negatively. What a wonderful place to call "home"! I miss you so much, Cynaera... [ Reply ]
