bazzbass Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Sorry OP, but if you have no knowledge of The Beatles and their legacy then you DO NOT have a well rounded knowledge of music. Those that rubbish Ringo's drumming just show their ignorance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't have to bring your infantile sarcasm and insults with you. If you'd left them out you might have gotten somewhere. You are still welcome if you can leave the condescending attitude at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't check out dude, you always bring something musically different to the table. Sometimes delivered like a nuclear bomb, but always interesting. As it happens, I agree with you about the HG program (including the gaping whole regarding George Martin), so do a few of the posters on that YouTube thread, it seems. Carry on.

Those that rubbish Ringo's drumming just show their ignorance. I think it's pretty well rounded, but acknowledged there was a gap in my original post... "I consider myself pretty well-rounded/versed when it comes to musical knowledge & listening experience past & present but there's always been a big Beatles-shaped hole in my knowledge" ...a hole which I'm attempting to fix (haha) by chucking my observations on here & inviting responses. Is that not allowed? By your logic mind, how far back do we take this? Are we not qualified to think we know anything about modern music because we're not au fait with the great composers say who preceded it? It's a silly thing to say & pretty sanctimonious. Also, how does not enjoying Ringo's drumming make me ignorant? It means I just don't like Ringo's drumming. To me, it seems you may be a tad over sensitive when it comes to anything Beatles, but unlike you, I'm fine with that being my impression & not making damning cast iron statements from it.

BigRedX Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'll just put this out here... Many fans of The Beatles on this thread are starting to sound much like my parents did when they went on about the "superiority" of classical music and how this new pop/rock wasn't proper music back in the early 70s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilp Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 In all fairness, the vast majority of what you call "classical" music is far and away more sophisticated and technically interesting than almost all pop/rock music - including prog, jazz/funk, whatever. Whether that makes it superior is an entirely different and fruitless debate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Beatles consistently produced ground breaking stuff. Check out https://youtu.be/D-lqDjWchaQ This you can tell heavily influenced the chemical brothers. I can hear 2 songs in there - setting sun and let forver be. https://youtu.be/s5FyfQDO5g0 https://youtu.be/p5NX1FC-7-w They used eastern musical instruments to create the desired effect, where now its technology / computers with modern dance acts.

FuNkShUi Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) It's funny to me how people are getting so worked up because of other peoples opinions. Chill out! We don't all like the same thing. The world goes on! If someone else dislikes something you do like, it shouldn't diminish your enjoyment. There is no "right" or "wrong", just opinion.

I agree with the sentiment but BC would be a very boring place if people didn't try and justify their opinions, that's not to say we should start insulting each other, IMO (see what I did there :-) )that just polarises opinions.

dand666 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Ringos drumming was just perfect. Go listen to Rain, or the newly released Sgt Peppers with just the instrumental tracks, lovely stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
