Totally agree. How different it all could have been if they'd ended up at Decca.
I feel sorry for him for not getting the chance to Produce Free As a Bird etc. (I know his hearing had gone)

Post by: An Apple Beatle on July 16, 2005, 01:23:48 PM: Does anyone know what 2 songs George Martin quotes as his favourite? 1 from John and 1 from Paul.

It may surprise some of you.

Post by: Tamara on July 16, 2005, 01:25:50 PM: Hm, i think Tomorrow never knows from john and Helter skelter from PAul. I think George Martin liked heavy rock!
Title: Re: Sir George Martin
Post by: An Apple Beatle on July 16, 2005, 01:27:48 PM: Sorry......No. Do you like Heavy Rock?
Title: Re: Sir George Martin
Post by: Tamara on July 16, 2005, 01:32:23 PM: Oh, when i listen to the Beatles I like almost everything. Also Tomorrow never knows and Helter skelter. I don't like modern things like heavy metal or death metal. I don't like modern dance too much. but everything from popmusic (yes, Robbie Williams also) and nice tunes I like. Nothing extreme.
But what is the answer to your question?

:D Hmm, interesting theory Tamara. Ok, my answer would be "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "I've Got A Feeling" :)

Post by: Bobber on July 17, 2005, 12:47:23 PM: I've read somewhere that George Martin really liked Here There And Everywhere. I'm not sure about John's song. A Day In The Life?
Title: Re: Sir George Martin
Post by: An Apple Beatle on July 17, 2005, 12:48:34 PM: That be one Bobber...Here There and Everywhere. Tis another Lennon tune though.

Post by: Blue_meanie on July 17, 2005, 10:22:54 PM: John's is a toughie... 'In my life' ?

He he.

Post by: An Apple Beatle on July 17, 2005, 11:29:34 PM: ^He he. Which one are you settling for? :P
Title: Re: Sir George Martin
Post by: on July 18, 2005, 04:44:58 AM: "Strawberry Fields". Its got to be. George Martin was super proud of that, the slowing down of the vocals and the slight speeding up of the music so the twain met perfectly.

Post by: In Blue Hawaii on July 18, 2005, 06:10:19 AM: Yup yup. :)

After a bit of googling, here's the transcript of an online chat with Sir George:

ladysue44: What was your favorite Beatle song and why?
george_martin_live: another difficult one!
george_martin_live: if its Paul - Here there everywhere - its such a lovely simple song
george_martin_live: if its John - Strawberry Fields - A real touch of magic
george_martin_live: If its George - Something - an unbelievable piece of music!
