@VolimBoga23 The Beatles Wrote The Worst Song Ever…Official
In 2004, a BBC released poll voted Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da the worst song ever. That’s because it is. Although Octopuses’ Garden runs it close…and Hello, Goodbye isn’t exactly the work of genius either. SAYS IT ALL
@VolimBoga23 Coyness Is Not An Attractive Feature In Grown Men
Both the Beatles and The Stones took their share of drugs. Well, Keith Richards probably took your share as well, but I digress…
Nevertheless, the coyness of the Beatles about the drug use was very far from endearing and smacked (pun intended) of a fear of losing their cuddly, family friendly image.
The Stones never allowed such concerns to get in the way of industrial quantity drug mis-use.
@VolimBoga23 The Stones, of course, are still going. While, admittedly, they haven’t done anything worthwhile in the last twenty years, they continued growing as a band way after The Beatles split and put out great album after great album well into the 1970s and even one (Tattoo You) in the 80s as well.
The Beatles lasted about six years, giving us a few good albums and lots of great singles. And then, well, they just gave up because they couldn’t really be bothered anymore. Listen to ‘Let It Be’ and you’ll hear the sound of a band who can’t be bothered.
@VolimBoga23 By contrast, The Stones helped kick start the musical career of Marianne Faithful and the bands that followed them from the London r n’b scene included The Kinks, The Who and The Yardbirds.
@VolimBoga23 Beatles were a boring band, Listen to Piggies, I want to hold your gay hand, eight days a week nonsense... they don't sound the same as Stones tunes.

@VolimBoga23 In The Studio…No One Can Hear You Scream
The Beatles may have been a fairly good live band, but they threw a strop somewhere around 1965 because the screaming was too loud and they couldn’t hear themselves properly.
The Stones would have just bought bigger amps. Let’s face it, from the footage available, it’s clear that The Beatles weren’t anywhere near in the Stones league as a live band. The Stones were, probably even still are, the greatest live act in rock n’ roll.
The Stones recorded ‘Beggars Banquet’, ‘Sticky Fingers’, ‘Exile on Main Street’, ‘Goats Head Soup’ in succession.
The Beatles made only one really consistent album – ‘Sargeant Peppers..’. The rest were pretty ropey (Let It Be, The White Album, Revolver…some good, some bad on all).
While The Stones are responsible for the execrable ‘Satanic Majesties Request’, there is nowhere near the level of self-indulgent rubbish as that churned out by The Beatles.
‘The White Album’, for example, is four good songs plus an hour of tiresome half-written rubbish, like ‘Why Don’t We Do It In The Road’.
Is this really the work of the best band in the world ever? Nope…it’s just rubbish from a bunch of self-indulgent millionaires.
When you’re five or six years old, ‘Yellow Submarine’, ‘When I’m Sixty Four’, ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and the like are fantastic songs. In pretty much the same way as ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ is fantastic poetry.
The fact is, though, that The Beatles novelty songs are, frankly, embarrassing. They’re generally awful music hall pastiche with – in far too many cases – the tone deaf Ringo singing.

@tdeb79 this person is a sad character. For years, he has been going to Stones videos, with different beatles profiles desperately trying to make the same case over and over again, even using the same limited repertoire of weak arguments ('Listen to ‘Satisfaction’ and you’ll hear the sound of a band who can’t be bothered' is one of his favorites). His Don Quichotelike crusade against the obvious facts of history (Stones > Beatles) is hopeless. Even Bin Linnen and McFartney disagree with him.

1. The Stones said Beatles were better so you lose there, and they made them to write their own music. Before Beatles Stones were playing covers, at that time Beatles had contract for a record. The song that launched the Stones into the "Olymp of music" was a song called "i wanna be your man" written by Lennon-McCartney.
2. Beatles were not a rock badn or pop, they were Beatles, they played everything (metal- Helter Skelter), pre-punk (Happines is a warm gun), rock, pop...
@Prestonpiemincher Beatles were not a boring band, like some other band who have same songs. Listen to Come together, Martha my dear, please please me... they don't sound the same. Their music evolved from "please please me" to "abbey road". Not many bands evolved. George Martin was a master at his work but he did not write songs . He recoreded them. So you can't say Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were not good. The white album is one of the greatest albums of all time.... to be continued
@Prestonpiemincher You have to understand the White album. Not many people can. Songs like Helter Skelter or Blackbird or Yer Blues or Happines is a warm gun are awesome songs. i'm sorry you can't feel them. The Stones are great, but every person in music industry will tell you the same- Beatles were a level higher above everyone else. And i am not huge Beatle fan. I listen to Floyd, Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Doors, Stones, Beatles. I'm not a huge fan, but i am a person with a huge respect.

@Prestonpiemincher Dude, please don't just bombard with your "the Rolling Stones rule; the Beatles suck" bullshit. Don't get me wrong; I love the Stones, but they're completely different from the Beatles. No comparison. Plus your facts are very biased; the Beatles actually had a much more consistent discography than the Stones. Sure, they had some clunkers, but doesn't every band?

@Prestonpiemincher Marianne Faithful?? It was Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, who discovered her. Also, the Stones "second" single was a Lennon/McCartney penned song "I Wanna Be Your Man", as Mick and Kieth had yet to write a tune, and were basically still a "cover band" at the time. In fairness, The Stones released the song 3 weeks before The Beatles, and was (I believe) a far better rendition of the song, than "Ringo's".
@Prestonpiemincher You make me laugh with you're "never-ending" insistence on "trying to prove" that somehow The Stones were a better band the The Beatles. Opinions are like assholes; everyone has got one". I'm a HUGE fan of both bands, ever since their beginnings.

The term "Mersey Beat" was coined from a small Liverpool musical publication of the same name (in the very early '60's) which reported SPECIFICALLY on bands local to the county of Merseyside, particularly The Beatles. Using the "Mersey Beat" bands you mentioned, instead of the TOTAL number of bands/musicians that "were" ultimately influenced by The Beatles is both disingenuous and dishonest.

John was always the "clown", and also had a sarcastic wit about him. Under the surface, John was a very sincere and caring individual. I doubt very much he was thinking of "making fun" of handicapped people at the time.
@SurferEddie Puhleeeese!! If you know ANYTHING about John Lennon, you'd know that he was a clown. If you watch & listen to the clip, he was making fun of the "audience", not "retarded people" in general. People are reading too DEEP into this. This was a 15sec. break between songs, and now some people think John is some kinda jerk for joking around! Also, I think it's pretty funny, coming from a guy who has "I recorded this clip when I went through my ten-minute GAY phase." on his home page!!
So, what may I ask is a "GAY PHASE". I don't care if you, or anyone else is gay. I'm just against people (mostly young) saying stuff like "That's so GAY"., or "You're so RETARDED". That's "bigoted"!! Lennon would've never talked like that.
@Revolution1117 You should read about how he used to call Brian Epstein a "queer Jew" in the Philip Norman book. Or about how he punched out the guy who asked him what he an Brian did together on their trip to Spain.
@SurferEddie I'm not quite sure what your agenda is, but I'm not here to "defend the honor" of John Lennon. He was a "complicated" man who came from a horrendous childhood. Yes, he did call Brian that, but also cared deeply for him. John blamed himself for Brian's death for introducing to him to pills. I may punch somebody out too, if they made that "innuendo". John was certainly no angel, but was ALSO a very sensitive person. His gift to music and the world will never be forgotten.
@SurferEddie Dude...I was looking at your "favorites" and didn't know that you were actually a Beatles fan. I "wrongfully" thought maybe you were some Beatle hater, so, if I sounded "belligerent", I apologize. BTW, I'm a "picker", also.

I think that, from watching this, we can only hope John realised the error of his ways and didn't do this - at least in public - again, as it was and is incredibly offensive to those with mental or physical disabilities. However, in historical context, research was still being carried out about disabilities, and the education probably wasn't out there for him to realise just how much of a douchebag he was being. I love John's songwriting, but I'm not denying that he had a cruel sense of humour
Oh. My. God. STOP with the Stones and the Beatles! They were BOTH brilliant and BOTH made a great contribution to the music world. WHY can no one accept that? And why does everyone have to be so damn rude about it? If you do like one more than the other, just say so instead of trying to degrade some other band to prove it.
He wasn't making fun of anybody. He was just fooling around. That's John for you, whenever he was on film, he couldn't be serious, he always had to fool around. Although he looked like a mentally disabled person, I'm pretty sure that wasn't his intension. Doesn't matter anyway. It doesn't change the fact that he wrote couple of the best songs of the 20th century along with his pals George and Paul.
haha ahhh... john is making fun of disabled people.... i dont think the person who posted this is trying to convince people that the beatles were retarded... this is an example of bad bad publicity. beatles fans need to stop being so defensive....
also it makes you looks ignorant because you're totally missing the point, it has nothing to do with the people trying to turn listeners against the music...
i hate the title. the beatles are NOT retards. they are the best band ever, no matter how many people try to doubt it. and yes, people DO care about the Beatles. I care about the Beatles, and so do thousands of others on this site.
so, stop trying to turn everyone against the Beatles. cause u do realize it won't happen, right?
@Carthsgtr i don't know, okay? maybe i didn't understand.
yeah, i admit, i get sensitive when someone makes fun of the Beatles, or starts to diss them or whatever. so, just don't call me a retard for being sensitive...
I am TOTALLY along with you ! I guess jerryfinn you don't see that John is making fun of paul who says "Clap your hands" so John is just messing with paul NOT retards! So the title should "John Lennon Has some fun "

However, let’s have a quick look at the bands that followed the Beatles as part of the Merseybeat sound they popularised.
Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and The Swinging Blue Jeans. Rubbish, one and all.

Let’s face it. Lennon and McCartney were good with a melody, but certainly weren’t the musical geniuses everyone thinks.
A large percentage of the arrangements and innovative instrumentation was down to their producer, George Martin.
Strip away a lot of that stuff and many of the songs don’t stand up anywhere near as well as the best of The Stones.

For years, he has been going to Stones videos, with different beatles profiles desperately trying to make the same case over and over again, even using the same limited repertoire of weak arguments ('Listen to ‘Satisfaction’ and you’ll hear the sound of a band who can’t be bothered' is one of his favorites). His Don Quichotelike crusade against the obvious facts of history (Stones > Beatles) is hopeless. Even Bin Linnen and McFartney disagree with him.

OK, it’s undeniable that The Beatles have been a huge influence on popular music for, well, ever.
However, let’s have a quick look at the bands that followed the Beatles as part of the Merseybeat sound they popularised.
Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and The Swinging Blue Jeans. Rubbish, one and all.
Not to mention the fact that they helped kick start the musical career of Cilla Black.

Let’s face it. Lennon and McCartney were good with a melody, but certainly weren’t the musical geniuses everyone thinks.
A large percentage of the arrangements and innovative instrumentation was down to their producer, George Martin.

1. The Stones said Beatles were better so you lose there, and they made them to write their own music. Before Beatles Stones were playing covers, at that time Beatles had contract for a record. The song that launched the Stones into the "Olymp of music" was a song called "i wanna be your man" written by Lennon-McCartney.
2. Beatles were not a rock badn or pop, they were Beatles, they played everything (metal- Helter Skelter), pre-punk (Happines is a warm gun), rock, pop...

@Prestonpiemincher Beatles were not a boring band, like some other band who have same songs. Listen to Come together, Martha my dear, please please me... they don't sound the same. Their music evolved from "please please me" to "abbey road". Not many bands evolved. George Martin was a master at his work but he did not write songs . He recoreded them. So you can't say Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were not good. The white album is one of the greatest albums of all time.... to be continued

@Prestonpiemincher You have to understand the White album. Not many people can. Songs like Helter Skelter or Blackbird or Yer Blues or Happines is a warm gun are awesome songs. i'm sorry you can't feel them. The Stones are great, but every person in music industry will tell you the same- Beatles were a level higher above everyone else. And i am not huge Beatle fan. I listen to Floyd, Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, Doors, Stones, Beatles. I'm not a huge fan, but i am a person with a huge respect.

When you’re five or six years old, ‘Yellow Submarine’, ‘When I’m Sixty Four’, ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and the like are fantastic songs. In pretty much the same way as ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ is fantastic poetry.

Coyness Is Not An Attractive Feature In Grown Men
Both the Beatles and The Stones took their share of drugs. Well, Keith Richards probably took your share as well, but I digress…
Nevertheless, the coyness of the Beatles about the drug use was very far from endearing and smacked (pun intended) of a fear of losing their cuddly, family friendly image.
The Stones never allowed such concerns to get in the way of industrial quantity drug mis-use.

@Prestonpiemincher Marianne Faithful?? It was Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, who discovered her. Also, the Stones "second" single was a Lennon/McCartney penned song "I Wanna Be Your Man", as Mick and Kieth had yet to write a tune, and were basically still a "cover band" at the time. In fairness, The Stones released the song 3 weeks before The Beatles, and was (I believe) a far better rendition of the song, than "Ringo's".

The term "Mersey Beat" was coined from a small Liverpool musical publication of the same name (in the very early '60's) which reported SPECIFICALLY on bands local to the county of Merseyside, particularly The Beatles. Using the "Mersey Beat" bands you mentioned, instead of the TOTAL number of bands/musicians that "were" ultimately influenced by The Beatles is both disingenuous and dishonest.

If you read the Beatles anthology book, Paul said they were bastards on tour. They either be batards or break up.
Also, keep in mind times were different back then. It was morally all right to bash autistics.

I think that, from watching this, we can only hope John realised the error of his ways and didn't do this - at least in public - again, as it was and is incredibly offensive to those with mental or physical disabilities. However, in historical context, research was still being carried out about disabilities, and the education probably wasn't out there for him to realise just how much of a douchebag he was being. I love John's songwriting, but I'm not denying that he had a cruel sense of humour

Oh. My. God. STOP with the Stones and the Beatles! They were BOTH brilliant and BOTH made a great contribution to the music world. WHY can no one accept that? And why does everyone have to be so damn rude about it? If you do like one more than the other, just say so instead of trying to degrade some other band to prove it.

He wasn't making fun of anybody. He was just fooling around. That's John for you, whenever he was on film, he couldn't be serious, he always had to fool around. Although he looked like a mentally disabled person, I'm pretty sure that wasn't his intension. Doesn't matter anyway. It doesn't change the fact that he wrote couple of the best songs of the 20th century along with his pals George and Paul.

haha ahhh... john is making fun of disabled people.... i dont think the person who posted this is trying to convince people that the beatles were retarded... this is an example of bad bad publicity. beatles fans need to stop being so defensive....
also it makes you looks ignorant because you're totally missing the point, it has nothing to do with the people trying to turn listeners against the music...

@joshbezemer well ya i know but i get kinda defensive, and i can't help it i just do.
the beatles just happen to be my favorite band, so i don't feel comfortable when people post bad comments about them.

i hate the title. the beatles are NOT retards. they are the best band ever, no matter how many people try to doubt it. and yes, people DO care about the Beatles. I care about the Beatles, and so do thousands of others on this site.
so, stop trying to turn everyone against the Beatles. cause u do realize it won't happen, right?

I am TOTALLY along with you ! I guess jerryfinn you don't see that John is making fun of paul who says "Clap your hands" so John is just messing with paul NOT retards! So the title should "John Lennon Has some fun "
