I agree with that. Most artists these days put out their first album which is great, and when they garner their success off of that, any music thereafter goes to crap.
Good post.

Lyrical genius, right. :disgust:
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, i'm crying.
I'm crying, i'm crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

In My Life
There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more
Yesterday which is the most covered song of all time.
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
BTW Yesterday was written in 1965 for the Help Album. Not bad for a so called Pop Boy Band.

Lennon received a letter from a pupil at Quarry Bank Grammar School, which he had attended. The writer mentioned that the English master was making his class analyse Beatles lyrics (Lennon wrote an answer, dated September 1, 1967, which was auctioned by Christie's of London in 1992). Lennon, amused that a teacher was putting so much effort into understanding Beatles lyrics, wrote the most confusing lyric he could. Lennon's friend and former fellow member of The Quarrymen, Peter Shotton, was visiting, and Lennon asked Shotton about a playground nursery rhyme they sang as children.
He basically wrote it for idiots who over analyze lyrics. Sound familiar? :disgust:

Your reading comprehension fails. I have been defending The Beatles through most of this thread. The only Beatles albums I don't own are With the Beatles and Beatles for Sale (their early work). Clearly they started to come into their all on Revolver and subsequent albums.
As for stretching the definition of a love song, I would've gone with Run For Your Life, one of the creepier songs ever written (you better run for your life if you can, little girl, I catch you with another man, that's the end... that's fucked up).
To be fair, the Beatles were the original boy band... well, them and the Beach Boys. The differences between the Beatles and modern boy bands are patently obvious; the Beatles wrote their own music, played their own instruments, and were incredibly prolific, releasing 2 albums a year in their early years, and continuing to release an album every year while touring and filming movies. The Beatles are obviously more talented than any of the designer boy bands from the 90s. That said, the early work of the Beatles was predominantly sappy love songs designed to appeal to young women, the exact same songs done by boy bands throughout the 20th century.
The biggest difference between the Beatles and other boy bands is the Beatles managed to evolve. Good thing too, since every album post-Help! is a certified classic (Help! included... I like the sappy love songs on that album
).You spelled "beetles" wrong and no, they're not gods. They're just insects with a bit extra armor on their backs. Stag beetles are pretty sweet, though.
Yesterday's lyrics are pretty basic to me. It's a typical "love lost" song. I like it, don't get me wrong. But it's not even close to "lyrical genius".

You are totally over looking all the other bands that started that genre like the Everly Brothers.Originally posted by: Atomic Playboy

Multitrack machines were around since the late 50's and were commonplace in the early '60's. Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) was considered a genius for his efforts
with "Pet sounds", Paul McCartney later admitted that Beatles "nicked" a few ideas first pioneered by Brian. As for the comparing the Beatles to ANY of the boy bands
is a complete joke. The Beatles cut their teeth in the rough and tumble clubs of Hamburg Germany and later the infamous "Cavern" club. Manager Brian Epstein
insisted they clean up their act to become successful. Still they wrote, played, sang mostly their own songs and a few from the early albums I still love today,
" I'll follow the sun" I'll be back" " yes it is" were all examples from early albums and still sound great today..
