But this discussion is now really boring me. So I won't be replying anymore - we're all going around in circles, saying what we've already said.However, thanks all for the discussion. I really enjoyed it till the last couple of days.
I just thought it was funny, that's all. And my grammar skills can hardly be compared to Wayne's, btw.
i dun like using capitals. that's where i screw up.never been a fan of commas either.
I wonder what you mean by that?
Uh - Police Constable No. 31 - didn't you notice it's a new angle ENTIRELY that I'm responding to?I was responding to another gratuitous dig at Wayne.Try and concentrate, Police Constable No. 31.
But it's the same thread. Worth a mention I reckon.
I meant exactly what I said.
I think most of you folk posting in this thread don't quite realize how long 500 years is. In 1505 (500 years ago), there was a wealth of popular songs - as in all times. Virtually all of them are now long forgotten. Same applies to literature, all sorts of music, art. Only the very best survive. My point is that only a few Beatles works will survive if any: and they will be Lennon's, as the songs of his I gave earlier are more than "pop hits" of their day. They feel to me to have a timeless quality, which is part of their attraction.
One of the angles on this debate that intigues me is what some folk are claiming to be the most enduring Beatles works. Paul-penned, of course (that doesn't surprise me!). But Let It Be? Come on, there is nothing in any way special about that song that would trigger it lasting 500 years. And Yesterday - Lordy, forget it! And as for Tkitna claiming uniqueness for Penny Lane over Walrus: only my desire not to be offensive prevents me from responding. But I will say Penny Lane is a pop ditty, but Walrus is a work of art. If you can't see it, well - you can't see it!Paul has written MUCH better stuff than this. Time is an interesting filter, often leaving the popular behind, and only allowing the worthy material through. IF (a huge IF) any of Paul-penned Beatle songs survive, it is much more likely to be sophisticated songs like For No One.
