-
A day in the life without the ending
Lovely Rita
With a little help from my friends
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
and thats it.
-
Speaking of the ending of "A Day in the Life," has anyone ever played the end of that record backwards? Since the forward version is already a record playing backwards, playing it backwards should reveal something that makes sense.

Also this album really should have included Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.
-
Sgt. Pepper Abbey Road
Done.
-
Also this album really should have included Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.
No, because then Magical Mystery Tour would only have one redeeming song on it.
-
I used to think Sgt. Pepper was the best album ever, but then I grew up.
-
Arse, I got beaten to the '0. listen to something else' options.
-
Wow. I had no idea so many people hated this album. I've never listened to the whole thing, but I was always under the impression that it was one of those "legendary" albums.
-
Sgt. Pepper has many great songs on it. I can't even fathom how you could say A Day in the Life is the only redeeming track.
-
Sgt. Pepper is fantastic, but really, Abbey Road is just much, much preferable. Side one has many of the strongest individual songs that The Beatles ever recorded, and side two is amazingly impressive as a cohesive whole.
-
Sergeant Pepper is so massively influential that a lot of people can't look at it objectively outside of it being such a huge record. Personally, I think that so much of Lennon's work on it is medicore - 'Mr. Kite' stolen entirely from a poster? 'Good Morning, Good Morning' which is a boring song about being boring? - that the album as a whole suffers. 'A Day In The Life' though, I think, is their single greatest achievement in the sapce of one song.
-
Even Jay-Z couldn't fully save Sgt. Pepper.
-
I like Freak Out way better than Sgt Pepper's.
HELP

Guys, Revolver is clearly the best Beatles album.

Rubber Soul?

Rubber Soul?
'What Goes On'?

Rubber Soul?
In future, remember to italicize any punctuation that is attached to italicized words.
-
I'm honored.
-
I'm not sure whether I feel particularly good about that as it relates to album titles. If this were a case where the italics actually indicated a particular word I wanted to emphasize, such as this? Yeah, I can see it. It looks goofy but I can see it. But album titles can include some type of punctuation at the end without appearing silly.
This link (http://community-2.webtv.net/solis-boo/Grammar2/page11.html) mentions the issue you point out. I still say it's a rule on the same approximate level as the one in my country declaring it illegal to step out of a flying plane sans parachute, lest you be fined or imprisoned.
-
Guys, Revolver is clearly the best Beatles album.
I maintain my position that it could still be improved by slapping Lovely Rita immediatly before or after "Got To Get You Into My Life"
-
I don't think Rita fits very well on Revolver. And I think I know understand the absurdity of my White Album rearrangement in the other thread; any album can be improved by adding ANOTHER great song to it.
-
I like Freak Out way better than Sgt Pepper's.

-
the title track and When I'm 64 are two of my favourite tracks on that album :-( noh8
EDIT: That being said, I would've dropped Good Morning. Yuck.
-
They are both actually good songs, but they're too damn happy for me. I mean, there's happy music... but both of those are like, wholesome and happy. You could probably psychoanalyze me and deduce that the fault is actually mine and not the songs, but... nonetheless... fuck 'em!
-
Anyone who does this and does not cut out Lucy in the Sky with diamonds fails at music.
It is one of the worst songs the Beatles ever wrote. It's not fun to listen to sober, its not fun to listen to on drugs. It is the single least fun song on Sgt Peppers, and this is the album with "She's leaving Home" on it for christs sake.
Also Dovey: We are going to throw down if you don't take back what you said about Good Morning, Good Morning.
Also did anyone notice that Nimrod cut out all the songs that didn't contain drug references? That is pretty fucking ridiculous.
-
No way man. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds = bad, and Good Morning Good Morning = good?
I don't usually say this to people before I get to know them, but you need to take some LSD.
-
You think Lucy and A Day in the Life are retarded, but you're prepared to fight me over Good Morning Good Morning? If that's the way it has to be, then IT'S ON.
EDIT: All hail Nimrod, King of Unintentionally-Hilarious-Land!
-
Let's not all look down our noses at me at once. I may be a drug addict, but at least I'm well read.
-
Actually I was saying that because Hat takes a lot of LSD.
This is the second time you've misjudged his personality with comic results (the other time being when you accused him of being an anti-Tool snob, when in fact he loves Tool. Especially when he's on acid.)
-
Hey, I never said A Day in the Life was retarded.
I said it was ridiculous. I also think that cocktails are ridiculous. I think that knowing 50 different sexual positions is ridiculous. It doesn't mean I don't consider them worthwhile.
It can still be on though if you like.
Also Nimrod, I really object to you telling me I need to do some LSD for a few reasons.
1) Nobody needs to do any drugs. If a song is shit without drugs, it is shit. Drugs are an interesting reflection of our society, not a gateway to enlightenment.
2) I am willing to bet I have done more acid than you anyhow. Not that I want to turn this into a dickwaving contest, but I am just saying this in the manner that it is likely that a hot-dog eating champion has eaten more hot-dogs than your average hot-dog afficionado in the street.
3) I hate that fucking song MORE when I am on the drugs because it is fucking stupid and I am supposed to close my eyes and float around in a psychidelic world with the song wrapped around my head but instead I wind up with a headache and visualizing shooting John Lennon for being a prick.
-
Mea culpa Mr. Hat. I'm thoroughly glad that you and Lucille have been fully acquainted. And on the Tool thing as well.
It's really just mock peer-pressure. I do think that psychedelics are a valid path for mental expansion, but... it only goes so far. Anyone who's read up on this shit or has an ex-hippie for a dad knows that. People can use acid as a fucked up mental theme park or for self-discovery. Or both, preferably.
And tempting as it is, let's not do the whole dr00gz c0ckf!ght thing.
Still though... you hate the song more while you?re frying!? I am perturbed.
-
I quite like Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. I am The Walrus is better though. It was my favourite song when I was five.
I've never listened to the Beatles under the influence of anything actually, I think.
-
I've only listened to music under the influence of alcohol, although that was at a party so I really WASN'T listening, and...well, huffing pens and carpet cleaner. I led a sheltered childhood...
-
You guys are missing out.
-
This is one of those threads that you just have to step back for a second after reading and say "Wow...just wow.."
Not only is this a thread about the trimming down of Sgt. Pepper's but it also includes some mild Pro-Drug use w/Music posts. COOL!
Seriously, the few times I HAVE done drugs and tried to listen to music, I found it harder to concentrate and got way too distracted to try and focus on what I was listening to.
Oh and if I WAS going to cut a song...it'd be Within You Without You, now THERE is a Beatles song that truly Blows.
-
Drugs not good?
Within You Without You blows?

There, are you happy? My head just exploded. How the fuck am I supposed to get the maintenance guy to clean this up without telling anyone? Moreover, how am I typing this without a functioning central nervous system?
-
Maybe your head exploded from the drugs? :-P
-
They're bad, you know.
-
Bahaha....my head is always going and asplodin' because of silly things. Central nervous systems are for the weak.
This is my cut:
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2. With a Little Help from My Friends
3. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
4. Getting Better
5. Fixing a Hole
6. She's Leaving Home
7. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite
8. Within You Without You
9. When I'm Sixty Four
10. Lovely Rita
11. Good Morning Good Morning
12. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
13. A Day in the Life
You know what? I like Good Morning, Good Morning. And I'm not going to apologize for it. My favourite Beatles track was one that Lennon absolutely loathed, and thought was too much of a throwaway to record. I like Lennon at his most throwaway.
Despite George being my favourite Beatle, Within You Without You blows. All of the sitar songs blow to varying degrees.
Drugs = fun. Although I very rarely do ANY.
In conclusion, listen to Revolver.
-
Is the idea of cutting an album just to get rid of the tracks you don't like? That seems pretty fuckin pissweak to me.
-
Why does everyone have a problem with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?
-
I don't as long as Shatner is "singing" it.
-
You guys are missing out.
On wasting money and time on something illegal that may cause me serious problems? How stupid of me.
-

Thank you, George is my favorite Beatle too, but Christ I can't stand that goddamned song.
Oh and yes, the idea of trimming albums..especially a Beatles album is pretty weak IMO, but like I said before if I was going to cut anything it would probably be just Within You Without You. I have no beef with Lucy in the Sky or Good Morning, Good Morning.
-

Scathing commentary!
Uncle Sam has pwned your mind and he doesn't even exist. Dig that shit.
-
How exactly has Uncle Sam - who as you stated, doesn't even exist - pwned me across the Atlantic ocean?
-
Oh well fine, maybe it wasn't him. But your statement is flawed.
Drugs may very well be "wasting" money and time in your eyes, but then, it might be a valuable and enlightening experience to someone else. I can't properly explain tol you how it feels to sit around in a circle with 4 other musicians, all tripping on acid, spontaneously creating music. It's beyond hippie jam rock. It's beyond avante-garde jazz. It's probably my favorite thing that I've encountered in existence thus far.
As far as the "cause you serious problems" part - that's ridiculous. How can a chemical that you choose to take or choose not to take cause you serious problems? The person is always the problem, not the drug, unless they took it against their will, in which case, it's still not the drug's fault.
When I say "you guys are missing out," I'm not seriously saying everyone should take them, I'm just enthusiastically proclaiming my adoration for them.
-
How about the hallucinations and mental issues that some LSD users continue to have after the event, some having taken one solitary trip?
Is the person always the problem with smack? Crack? Coke?
Besides which, I'm curious what jeph thinks about drug advocation on this forum, because there's been more than I'm comfortable with flying about lately, and I've just avoided it until now; if he's happy with it, I'll continue to do so.
-
I beg to differ!
-
Yeah, the person is always the problem. I have seen friends pull themselves out from the very deep depths of methamphetamine addiction to lead, all things considered, prosperous lives.
-
Are you old enough to have friends who have already lived "prosperous lives?"
-

Oh God, it may be worse than I had first thought, Nimrod here may actually infact be a member of The Mars Volta! I wonder if the Acid makes their Fro's seem like a better idea than it actually is. (Hmmm... :mrgreen:)
Soo back on topic...OMGZ Guyz, When I'm 64 totally suxxorz, lez cut it out yo.
-
Yeah, the person is always the problem.
That is such bollocks. It's nothing to do with ridiculously addictive drugs, oh no, it's always the person...
-
I don't see why it has to be one or the other.
-
That's more or less my view, although admittedly I didn't say that. I feel any crediblity I had draining away...
I was just protesting that idea that the individual is always the one with the problem. Admittedly in 99% of cases it will be that person's fault for using in the first place and getting addicted, but once they are addicted it's a totally different story.
There are, as Hat implied, a million different reasons.
Anyway, this being the music forum, shall we move on?
Who wants to trim down the tracklist of Yellow Submarine? Here's mine:
1.
-
I can't say I ever heard Yellow Submarine. I'll have a look for the tracklisting and see what I can do.
Apparently All You Need is Love is on it. This album sounds fucking ridiculous.
-
WHY DO YOU HATE ALL THE GOOD BEATLES SONGS BRETT?
ARE YOU TRYING TO HURT ME?
-
I like All You Need is Love. I'm just saying, apart from it and Yellow Submarine, the titles of these songs are silly.
-
I like All You Need is Love. I'm just saying, apart from it and Yellow Submarine, the titles of these songs are silly.
Yellow Submarine and All You Need is Love are pretty silly song titles as well.
-
Cut out "For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" and you've pretty much got it okay. That song, in my opinion, is the Holocaust of the musical world.
-
It never occoured to me how silly Kite was untill I heard the Beastles do something with it.
It really is a silly, silly song.
I still like it though.
-
Mr. Kite is one of the best! Come on. You guys don't like wild, wacky stuff?
Anyway, I am currently at the cherubic age of 22, but I have friends who are into their 60's. So you could say that they are old enough to have been prosperous (or not).
And Dynomite, all things are addictive. It's a matter of degree. Ice cream is addictive. What we need in this world is education, not restriction. I'm not an advocate of crack, meth, or opiates. I am an advocate of knowledge, responsibility, and freedom.
-
I thought we were going back to the music? I'll gladly debate this with you on MSN or something, but this is a music forum, dammit.
-
That sounds like a tasty debate, but the problem is I cannot use MSN at work, or the IT guy will come and remove my intestines with a blunt object.
-
Do you not have some other form of interent access :?
-
We have another drugs thread in the lounge

We have drugs in the lounge

We have a lounge?

As of the moment, I am without a PC that I can say belongs to me.
-
Personally, I'd just love to have it with a proper remastering job. They didn't do a damn thing when they put it on CD in 1989 and they haven't since. The fucking Anthologies are better sound-wise than this album! What the hell?
-
Oh man what did you just type? Oh dude I am so high I have no idea what you just typed I am so hungry!
Seriously though, what brought about resurrecting this dinosaur of a thread?
-
psh, way to go new(er than me) guy.
why couldn't you just let this poor thread die in peace and sink into the archives where it belongs??
-
Stop... bumping... it! It'll kill us all with its laser eyes!
Shit, I just did it again!
-
So what are YOU guys talking about?
-
That movie, Ishtar.
God, wasn't that awful?
-
Here is my trimmed down Sgt. Pepper.
Side One
1.) Heard Her Call My Name
2.) Sister Ray

2.) Fun House
3.) L.A. Blues

AGahaghah!!! Shutupallofyou!!!!

What?
-
If I were going to trim down a Beatles album, it'd be the White album.
Basically, they couldn't agree on what to take out, so they just took out all the George songs and left everything else in, resulting in an uneven mess of occasional spells of greatness.

Wasn't like half of All Things Must Pass originally written for that album, though?
Hey, I'm new. I don't know about previous threads.
