I recently picked up “The Beatles: Rock Band” for Xbox 360 on the cheap at Old Navy. They had it listed at $40, on their 50% off shelf and my wife had a 30% off coupon with the use of an Old Navy card.
Suffice to say there’s been a great deal of Fab in the house this week.
In the spirit of LOVE, I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorites:
Favorite Beatle: George Harrison – While not the most common choice among Beatlemaniacs, George always had a quiet intensity that made him mesmerizing in The Beatles’ films. Plus, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
Favorite Song: Revolution – I like to think of this song as the birthplace of punk rock. I’m sure most would consider that quite a stretch, but the remarkable guitar riffs, strained vocals, and strong political message makes this song one of the greatest of the Lennon/McCartney partnership. Hey Jude is a close second due to its inspiration for Steven Tyler’s trademark sound.
Favorite Movie: A Hard Day’s Night – Call me old-fashioned, but I’m a fan of the classics. Plus, this movie has some of the most entertaining Beatle-quotes I’ve ever witnessed (aside from the “Live at the BBC” album, which has several humorous instances of the boys being boys).
So, what about you? What are your Beatles favorites?
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND!
I mean, that's MY personal favorite. ^_^
