Who is your favorite Beatle?

Nina · Oct 22, 2009, 10:15 PM

I would probably have to go with George, "All Things Must Pass" is my favorite album ever! Plus he was so good-looking! But really I love them all!

"All Things Must Pass" is my favorite album too and George definately was handsome

Welcome, Nina. The difference between your generation and mine is that we didn't get the Beatles from our parents. We tried to keep them away from our parents. And if our parents started listening to them and liking them, we found that quite annoying, and we'd do everything we could to discourage them.

I know! I find it quite funny

I actually like that my mom is becoming a fan, I really don't have many people to talk to about them except for you guys on here!

^Great story Nina, and welcome to the forums

I think a lot of younger Beatles fans discovered them from the '1' album, that's how I did

That's how I became a fan too.

Although I think recently the Across The Universe movie has been getting kids these days into The Beatles.

Thank gosh! I hate it when people listen to the movie covers and are like OMGZ THESE ARE THE BEST SONGS EVER and then they listen to the originals and are disappointed by them. It's like wtf?

That's really annoying! In my dance class at school, we were dancing to Joe Cocker's cover of Come Together from Across the Universe. This girl said she loved it, and when I told her it was a Beatles song, she started going on about how terrible the Beatles are. Then another girl corrected me saying it was not a Beatles song, it was a Michael Jackson song. I was so baffled I just had to laugh!
