Is this playing at the correct RPM?

I keep hearing The Boss backed by The Edge.

Thought it was Badly Drawn Boy. Sounds v. v. similar.

Does this remind anyone but me of Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny?

I like to listen to music like this when I'm writing code. 

Who is the women he is singing with?  Honestly until Wikipedia, I thought Nitin was a female!

Hm, Colin Hay might have a better grasp of this genre. "If you've got a truffle dog, you might go trufflin'"?

Lennon takes a playful but barely audible swipe at Brian Epstien in the fade out. Any guesses?

This song stirs emotion from the floorboards of time.  It's a baking summer day and I'm driving a relic beater down a rolling country road, windows down, hemispheric combustion with thrush rumbling pipes, pedal to the floor with earthen rooster-tails, (then in slo-mo) catching air and corners sideways - stereo playing Dakota!  God, I miss her spirit...

... but do they go through a Honey Drippers phase??

The bass line reminds me of a Radiohead song....

You don't hear many hand claps in songs anymore...

Well, as a matter of fact, there are "high thinkers" at universities that believe that nothing is original, but derivative and(world) "community" based and influenced, and therefore copyright law should be abolished. Everybody owns everything because they've all had something to do with it and it's appearance.
Which in my non humble opinion is bullshit. NObody actually constructed an individuals work other than the individual or group who actively put it together, no matter what their influences...unless they plagiarized or directly copied. An action which has definitive criteria for it's being as such, and is punishable by law. 

I hate this song.  Depressing and horrible.  Ugh.

I always wondered whether John privately muttered to himself, "I can't believe I didn't think about our watches being visible in that bloody shoot.  @#$% left-handed wanker!"  It made sleuths out of millions of fans who underwent the Paul-is-dead rumours.

I thought it was REM. But it has a very nice groove and I like it. 

Ummmmmmm.........special BROWN-ies! 

(Hey, are those Lebanese brownies?)

This song sure makes me feel like crying and I'm not even sad.

Is it just me, or does anyone else prefer the Dred Zeppelin cover of this song?

One of my ex-wives was a mutant.

Sort of reminds me of Babble (who was originally Thompson Twins).

What about Neil Young or the Tragically Hip or the Cowboy Junkies!?

Great live for such complex stuff with three guys. 

The GREATEST Canadian import! 

Different thing.  The Bay City Rollers had their share of devoted fans, too.

The Beatles changed things in a very demonstrable way.  I just doubt that anyone, Radiohead included, will have that much impact again.

Collins is a very talented drummer. I'm a percussion junkie and some of my favourite Gabriel and post-Gabriel Genesis tracks rely heavily on Collins behind the drum kit. However, Gabriel's musical talents, which lie elsewhere at multiple points, are more considerable.

My 'joke' about the difference between the two is using the example of their respective attraction to American R&B. Collins made some cheesy remakes of Motown hits — Motown tending to represent r&b that was commercialized for white/top40 audiences*, whereas Gabriel tapped into the soul of what I would argue is more 'authentic' r&b and transformed it into his own. perfect example: Lovetown.

You could also do a comparison using the kind of soundtrack work they have done, although I admit Buster was kinda fun. but seriously, Disney movies vs. Last Temptation of Christ? Only a major talent could have approached the later.

(* from wikipedia: "Complex arrangements and elaborate, melismatic vocal riffs were avoided; Motown producers believed steadfastly in the "KISS principle" ("keep it simple, stupid"). Berry Gordy used weekly quality control meetings, held every Friday morning, and veto power to ensure that only the very best material and performances the company came up with would be released. The test was that every new release needed to "fit" into a sequence of the top 5 selling pop singles of the week. As a result, several tracks which later became critical and commercial favorites were initially rejected by Gordy (...) In several cases, producers would re-work and re-re-work tracks in hopes of eventually getting them approved at a later Friday morning meeting.")

If I have too much time on my hands to argue my case, it's because I'm sick and homebound and have nothing better to do.

I've always thought that if I had to demonstrate to, say Mozart or Beethoven what Rock music is, I would use this album.  From the opening of Good Times, Bad Times through Dazed and Confused, well, as other posters have said, it really hasn't been improved upon.
Staggering, and it still holds up well.  This is particularly amazing considering how new the band was and how quickly the put this album together (30 hours total of studio time, $4300!!!)  Love listening to this loud (of course) on a great system and hearing all of what is going on.  The combination of Page's vision/production and Glyn John's engineering and production set a gold standard.
Oh for the day they remaster it into 5.1 surround

Whenever I hear this song or The Cars "Moving In Stereo" I flashback to the film "Fast Times At Ridgemont High."
Damone: "And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side 1 of 'Led Zeppelin 4'". (Cut to Rat and Stacey driving around and listening to "Kashmir" from Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti".)

Trivia: It's not on Zepp 4 as Damone tells Rat, it's on Physical Graffiti 
 

Such a great song, strong 8.

You can radiate everything your are.

I second that!

....this will not do Bill.

i'd play this to seduce someone.
kind of reminds me of sade...

Absolutely true, IMO.  A 10+.  One of the best headphone LPs ever too...

Is that album cover real? It almost looks like Morpheus peaking through a cut-out.

LOVE THIS LP/CD..my favorite Beatles disc start-to-finish.  Does anyone here know why the guitar solo differs on various releases (e.g., LP, CD, 45rpm, radio edit)?  I really prefer the solo on the CD.  I've read one can hear the different solos faintly if listening through headphones.  Thoughts / info appreciated... 

Both versions by George, IIRC.

does anyone else out there simply not like the Beatles?

TOO MUCH F**CKING RADIOHEAD

I hear all this BS about what good musicians Radiohead are. I'm in NYC tonight and saw a band called Umphrey's McGee. Radiohead aren't good enough musicians to carry their guitar straps.

Ironically, on a station that says it's eclectic, but has basically gone to an "All Radiohead, All The Time" format, the message is this: there's an infinite amount of good music out there. Stop listening to Creep, get out of yer mother's goddamn basement, and go hear some.

Possibly the worst Beatles track of them all. Hideously overrated.
