If you are among the first to do something new, and if you're a genius, of course you'll be a worldwide and timeless legend. Saying that; since the marvelous Fab Four, there have been Genesis and Queen. Peter Gabriel and Freddy Mercury, will be always remember wonderful artists, as well as John or Paul.

I'd say there are a few solid runner's-up. Talking Heads. Nirvana.

Yes friend Georges Martin est le cinquième beatles dans l'ombre ,les gamins lui donnaient du vrac et... lui en faisait une oeuvre...

I have read that Martin considered himself a facilitator. He said most of the time he was just following what the Beatles asked him to do. But I agree that he is the fifth Beatle. He did influence them and made creative suggestions. Spector, on the other hand, made changes to Let It Be without consulting the Beatles, which infuriated Paul, in particular. That is why a "Naked" version was released later.

No doubt about it. He's gotten a lot of credit--but surely not enough. He was a huge part of the band's distinctive, original music.

The singing 😐

On Strawberry Fields specifically, Martin truly was. The lads had recorded two versions of the song, but John Lennon wasn't satisfied with either. He asked Martin if he could combine them somehow, which irritated Martin to no end. It seemed Lennon just blithely expected him to work miracles. And then he worked a miracle. He realized one of the tracks was half a tone sharp compared to the other, and a little faster. So he slowed it down until the two matched. That's why the recorded version has such a thick, languidly dreamy sound.

Arthur Scrote.... respecto! You're speaking the realista...but many people cannot understand your words! I'm living since 5 years in Carib but this people here are only interestet on drogs or without working.... What a wonderful life for this people without any futur!

May not have had a formal education in music.......and THAT iz what made them great. Even their producer acknowledge they composed WITHOUT the restrains that a formal education imposes on most composers.

Unless you count music lessons as music education? Also no part of this song was composed in a Liverpool kitchen. They were way out of there by then. This music was composed in a studio.

@@MoosePockets lot of early beatles stuff like she loves you and others were written in Liverpool.

Saurav Maitra Right. But this isnt early stuff.

He said in Plastic Ono Classic Albums that drum fill is his art!

FR

There is no drum part in the original song

@@theju3939 Probably referring to the strawberry fields part, not Eleanor Rigby

Sorry, Ringo not in my top 10

What is that white thing in your nose, Tony?

Indeed. This sounds like a worst enka(=Japanese soul music which Mr.Marty Friedman falls in love).

Beautiful. That is the magic of the Beatles tunes. You do not see a lot of Taylor Swift orchestrations.

Peter Hendriks THE MAGICAL MYSTICAL MUSIC OF THE BEATLES LIVES ON!

Kinda shite. I knew Eleanor Rigby, and they raped that song when the choir and the Drums came in. I didn't know strawberry fields, but it's terribly arranged to my ear.

Jesse aan de Wiel - if you didn’t know Strawberry Fields how can you possibly comment on the arrangement ? Plonker.

Do you know why Mozart's concert n°5 is called " The turkish"?

So lucky to be alive at the same time as the composer.

@@cfkusnier1 because the 3rd mov uses Turkish themes

@@thomasmans1267 I knew it.

Very true

Help Yourself may be the greatest pop English band. To some opinion.

noah smith nirvana? U might like to reread your comment

@noah smith all bands that you said were incredibly, we can say "once in a lifetime". But, not for belittle them, the Beatles are the "one in a Epoch", they change all. I'll explain you, with 1 Fact, i use one band that you said, Pink Floyd (I idolize theme),their first knowed record is from '67. The beatles write Tomorrow Never Knows in '66. They are pioneer in psychedelic too. I can continue al day, but the point is, they invent OUR music, other bands evolve from that and gives us an university of melodies that all we love. The beatles were the Big Bang of that.

noah smith yeah, there are really good artists but I mean if people see one of them in public is there going to be a crowd with hundreds of people chasing after them at full speed? There are lots of other good bands and close competition but the Beatles are literally the Kings of music. They could sell out concerts in a day

She was a real person but the song wasn’t about her. Paul didn’t find out about her grave until after he recorded the track. He actually made the name up to fit the number of syllables needed for the scansion.

Amazing!

They were simply brilliant. And Paul McCartney is still. Brilliant today . Thanks Paul for all those songs.

While true, this song really owes its character to George Martin. He wrote the string score from scratch.

@MusicMadMaurice What bullshit. If he had written or part written their songs he would have been credited on those songs. Look at all the most famous songs and you will see that most of them are credited to unknown writers not the artiste.

Who would of thought 4 young boys from Liverpool England would change the course of music forever

x2

Scared it out of me too.

hello its jebediah here, thats so funny i literally L O L' d out loud, seriously on the floor! he he

Calm down la.

how do you sleep like that?

But this conductor, the brass sounds, and this unqualified director have coordinated to spoil the two songs 😱🤢

Eleanor rigby the best Beatles song

Son los clásicos del futuro, escritos y compuestos en la década de los 60s, por estos fabulosos jovenes de Liverpool para los próximos 500 o 600 años.

Descance en paz

Q E.P.D

Ever

all time

Of the millenia, correction

It’s crazy to think the Beatles were only around for a few years, and sold around 7million records when they split. Maybe if they had kept going (like the Rolling Stones) their music would have lost some of its magic. They split at their peak

Speak for yourself. I hate the Beatles, especially John Lennon. Dismal, gloomy, black and white music. Have a nice day. Trump 2020.

O grande gênio dessa canção e o Paul.

Sounds great

Teresa, precisaria música depois dos Beatles ?

Concuerdo :3

X2

Otherwise call Ringo !
