@JaysGOP Everything is 'comparable' - that doesn't mean to say it is of equal merit. The Stones were a good band but they were not innovators and 'in terms of actual talent and quality' their music, as I've said before, is 'not in the same league as the Beatles'. The Beatles' true competitors in ...

@x5c0rp10nx Surprised you don't know! The Who certainly knew....'I asked Bobbie Dylan, I asked The Beatles...' In case you're still in the dark, it's from another great Who song called 'The Seeker'. As a teenager in the 60s, I enjoyed both bands - and still do.

Embarrassing!

Brilliant performance by the best band ever

The worst George Harrison impersonation ever! Totally ridiculous

Adding strings detracts from the sublime simplicity of this song - a great song from A Hard Day's Night which is a vastly under-rated album. Lennon's voice in those early recordings was unique with a hint of underlying aggression in virtually every phrase.

@DrRoberts66 The figures are, of course, up to 1966 not 1996 - 30 years on and the Beatles had amassed a whole lot more!

@RocknBeatles I suggest you read Ian MacDonald's brilliant 'Revolution in the Head' to find out who really did what on all Beatles' songs. For the record, this was a John song but Paul was responsible for the tape loop effects which were mind-blowing when Revolver was released in 1966. Nothing li...

@BrickUnit I hope you're being ironic! His music has influenced every composer for nearly 200 years. Sir George Martin compared the opening structure of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to a Beehoven motif and the Beatles acknowledged the influence of Beethoven's Moonlight sonata on Because

An enjoyable film but complete nonsense. If the Beatles were trying to incorporate so many hidden clues, lines from Shakespeare and religious texts into their songs and album covers it's doubtful that they'd have released anything at all! Maintaining a cover-up of this magnitude would stretch the...

Magnificent Macca! I loved this song when I first heard it back in 63 -- it would have a sure-fire No.1 if the Beatles had put it out as a single in the UK. As it was, they could afford to release it on an LP. The true measure of the genius of Lennon-McCartney as songwriters

@zapkvr You are an arrogant idiot! I don't believe Beethoven or Bach went to university but they are the greatest musical geniuses of all time. Lennon-McCartney together were probably the greatest songwriters since Schubert - oh and by the way, Schubert didn't go to university either! I've always...

Quite simply, this is song is brilliant! How two young songwriters - John and Paul were in their mid-20s - wrote such a profound song is staggering and shows why The Beatles were in a class of their own in the 60s. The best band of all time - unquestionably. Lennon-McCartney the best songwriters ...

Genius! I love the line: I was the dream-weaver but now I'm reborn'...He was the dream-weaver and when he was with the Beatles he helped us to 'live' the dream - albeit briefly

@SmoothEdward I agree totally. George's solo on this song is superb and he played it magnificently when the Beatles did the Royal Variety Show.
