But your post was great!

Thanks for all your reviews. I'll have to make sure I get all those albums. Right now I just have them on tape from when my dad use to play them

Yes, they are very obtainable. No matter where you go, GO GET THEM!

the medley was actually a quick fix by the sound dep. because the band was already dissolving... but still genius

In my opinion, The Beatles have one of the most solid musical catalogues in rock history. With the exception of a few tracks (really just Revolution 9, Run For Your Life and Chains), I like every single song and album that the Beatles have released. My friends think I'm crazy for liking such songs as Sun King or Bungalow Bill, but in my opinion their unusuality and eclectic nature makes them so fascinating and fun to listen to.

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) is a song mostly written by John Lennon, detailing a secret affair he had, it drove him so crazy that finally he had to write a song about it, writing it in a semi-cryptic fashion because he didn't want his wife to know about it. It sort of seems silly in retrospect, I mean, how could Cynthia Lennon NOT have known that John was cheating on her? In Liverpool Art College, where they met, John was the only person on campus who would have casual sex. Most of the students there were just rich white kids, who wanted to be hip, but John was the real deal. In fact, their whole relationship really is a perfect example of the old adage, "opposites attract."

It features the first time a sitar is used during a pop song. When listening to this song, the influence of Bob Dylan on The Beatles becomes apparent. This song seems to almost be an homage to the sort of playful, cryptic lyrics that were Dylan's signature at that time.

No, this was way after The Kinks made See My Friend, which was clearly Indian.

Now that that's out of the way, I love The Beatles to bits, and I have never grown tired of them after years of listening. I'll admit, sometimes they will be a bit overrated, but it's my opinion that their music was highly influential and perfect in almost every way.
