The Beatles - The Long And Winding Road

[Deskdiary]

I have a very narrow taste in music - Soul and Funk only - so know very little of The Beatles music. I wasn't around at the time, so its pretty much passed my by, but a lot of the songs I do know, I haven't been massively impressed by (things like Help I found a bit meh).

However...

I heard The Long and Winding Road today for the first time and, oh my god, I think that's possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

So, I'm going to broaden my horizons - any suggestions for Beatles gems?

[royfromaus]

Abbey Road is there best album imo

[JimF]

Everything. You can't go wrong.

But, if you like The Long and Winding Road, I'm sure you'll like:

Let It Be
Hey Jude
Across the Universe
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Julia
Dear Prudence

And many, many others.

Something - from the Abbey Road album. Great song.

[Mozz71]

It was even better before Phil Spector destroyed it.

Personally, my favourite Beatles ballad is Something, but I always preferred Harrison to Lennon/McCartney.

[Barsel]

Never a big Beatles fan myself but usually I liked their ballad type songs like the one you mentioned. I'm sure you would have heard Imagine and one I liked was In My Life.Some with George singing were good too.

[JimF]

Imagine isn't actually a Beatles song. It's John Lennon solo.

[237SJ]

I wasn`t around then either but they rereleased the Beatles songs in 1976 (I think) My favourites were the ones that George Harrison wrote

[Togo]

A hidden Gem.

[Denton]

Hey Jude,worst record ever made,imo.

Go for the later stuff, Deskdiary.

[Ken4155]

Never really liked them until Sgt Pepper.

[Barsel]

JimF I stand corrected.

[Mozz71]

Away from the singles

Norwegian Wood
Blackbird
A Day In The Life
She's Leaving Home
Blackbird
Here Comes The Sun
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Got To Get You Into My Life
Golden Slumbers/Carry The Weight
Revolution
In My Life

[Mozz71]

Hmmm. It seem I must really like Blackbird :-D

[Bobbisox1]

A bit sloppy but my all time fave is
If I Fell in Love with You

[JimF]

This is their finest moment, though it won't be to everybody's taste:

[ynnafymmi]

Only two songs really stand the time-Eleanor Rigby and And i love her.Both written by the true musical genius of the Fab Four-Paul McCartney.

[Denton]

Really liked "Norwegian Wood"

[Apc2604]

Anything written and performed by George. I was never a fan of the Beatles, but George was so talented - the quiet one.

Seeing as how you are now maturing when it comes to listening to music. Check this guy out. A world of pain and compassion.
