Oh no. Not another Beatles tribute thread.

[the other mike]

Yes.
Here's a tribute I haven't listened to yet that was
just uploaded yesterday.

They are the greatest rock band in history

Name a really bad Beatles tune... Its difficult to do if possible at all... I know, I know music is subjective and someone will climb right on board and say that ______ ___ _______ really sucks... In my world there will always be Beatles Tributes...

Here is how I think it works

not all Beatles songs were memorable

but neither was every composition by Mozart

we only remember his best work

the test for both is how important is there music over time

each decade some of their stuff will be largely forgotten

But if 50 years after they stopped working together the Beatles still have 30 songs that are remembered and loved that dwarfs every other band before or since

Three dramatic events happened in 1963.
JFK was murdered in Dallas, Texas, and The Beatles released their debut album....

I really like “I saw her standing there”

its just good basic rock n roll that everyone can appreciate

It always reminds me of Raymond now.
I'm doomed to forever visualize Tom Cruise
and Dustin Hoffman singing it.

Its crew received an additional four nominations.[4] The film also won the Golden Bear at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival.[5]

There are aspects of Hollywood I've always ignored like soap operas, American Idol and Trump haters like DeNiro and Colbert, but otherwise it's just acting. My wife watches all the Netflix drama crap, but I mostly watch youtube news clips, science stuff and documentaries. Some movies now and then. And I never played video games.

They should do Rainman 2.

Same here

add to that old shows like Highway Patrol starring Broderick Crawford

I like the drama and the old cars and trucks

Or the Rockford Files

but practically nothing being produced today

There is not much imagination or originality in the film industry today and most of their sequels and remakes are inferior to the original

in my opinion

I totally agree. Of the films released since 2000, I've seen less than
1 % .

and the few I have seen were not in a motion picture theater

so they are pretty old by the time I do see them

The animated cartoons they produce today suck... To destroy a Jack London book Like Call of the Wild is a travesty...



Nothing but a cartoon...
