You know what I listen too. Don't ask stupid questions!
I hope you know I was kidding, about Fucking Off and all.......
The Beatles played the music I listened to as a kid. I was eight, walking around, constantly, with my four pound transistor radio plastered to my ear, when I first heard "Please, Please Me" for the first time and soon after, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". It was truly epiphanous and I took years to recover.
I had been listening to Roy Orbison, The Chiffons, Jan and Dean, THE SAFARIS (my favorites), Jay and the Americans, Tommy Roe on the only radio station where I lived that did NOT play country music. The Beatles had to break up before I went on my merry way without them. I was fifteen when they split and had come the whole way with them, drugs and all towards the end. I liked the Beatles for years, but I am burned out on them, right now. My daughter likes them. She is six. We dance to "Yellow Submarine" quite often (... a little difficult when you're a fat old fart like I am).
So, tell me, what is your favorite Beatles album or song or era?
