And Barbara!

Taken from George’s Instagram

With his head in Jane’s lap (I think that’s where it is? It’s pretty crowded so it’s hard to tell.) I’ve always thought this picture was adorable (they all look so happy!) and I’m pretty sure that’s George, but I’m not positive. Does anyone have any information on the picture or anything? I guess an added bonus to this post is even if no one knows I still get to share one of my favorite photos of them in India, lol. Sorry if this is dumb, but not being 100% sure has been nagging at me. (Side note: posted this like a minute ago but the picture was being weird so I deleted. Hopefully it works this time.)

The 2023 mix lacks crucial parts of the song (sound effects, orchestral outro), and the 2009 remaster comes with weird panning and the instruments are too quiet. The LOVE mix fixes all of these problems, it only has a 2 second different intro/outro. Anyone who still hasn't listened to this is truly missing out

It’s obviously hard to say any Beatles album is “under-appreciated” as they’ve been listened to and dissected for more than 6 decades. However if there was an album from them I say doesn’t get as much recognition as it should- it’s A hard days night. Obviously their first album written solely by the band, for me this album is ridiculously fun and enjoyable from back to front. More upbeat songs like I should’ve known better and I’m happy just to dance pair so well with the more slow songs such as and I love her, as-well as I’ll be back and if I fell. For you personally what album do you think doesn’t get enough recognition in their catalogue, as I’d put this quite comfortably in their top 5

I also have a 1976 US Capitol pressing which doesn't sound nearly as nice.

I have seen this claim about the "catchiness test" in Beatles's songwriting method for many times. Basically if they remember the song, they would record it, if they didn't, they wouldn't because it was not good enough to record.

But geniunely I have never seen Beatles biographical authors or Beatles themselves talk about it. Is this story legitimate?

For the longest time, when I listened to the Beatles, I mostly paid attention to John and Paul. George's songs were just kind of there for me.

Then I started listening to All Things Must Pass and went back to his Beatles songs, and honestly, I don't know what took me so long.

Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are obviously great, but even songs like Long, Long, Long have really grown on me.

It's funny how you can listen to the same band for years and suddenly realize you've been overlooking a whole part of what made them special.

Anyone else have a similar experience with George's songwriting?

He looks so fluffy and cuddly

I’m trying to recreate this iconic shoot by Richard Avedon, any idea what type of shirt, coat, sweater, etc they’re wearing here to achieve this look?

I feel like George’s songs are the kind that hit differently the more time you spend with them. The Beatles had so many iconic Lennon-McCartney tracks that it’s easy to overlook just how much George brought to the band.

Songs like “Something,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and “Here Comes the Sun” are obvious classics, but even his lesser-known songs have something special about them. There’s a warmth and honesty in his songwriting that makes them feel timeless.

And then you get into his solo work, and there’s a whole other side of him to discover.

I first read this quote from Joe Satriani a few years ago - he is animated that George is the most underrated guitarist of all time, and goes on to extol George's musical virtues.

I spent about 2 hours on this, and am very proud of it! I hope you enjoy seeing our fab boys transformed into halloween culture.

I’ve noticed in a lot of Beatles albums, where one of them may generally perform better on the album than the other 3, one of those other 3 will have a stand out song on the album.

To try and explain my point, take a look at Abbey Road. I don’t think it’s a very controversial take that generally Paul or George performs the best on that album, the whole medley makes the album which was Paul’s idea and George’s best work with the group is on that album, however John’s songs stand out among the rest. While what I said is still true, you could just as easily argue that Come Together, I Want You or even Because are the best songs on that album.

It’s the same with Sgt Pepper’s, the whole album is Paul’s first masterpiece but in my opinion Lucy In The Sky and specifically John’s parts in A Day In The Life are the standouts, or on the white album where Paul and John are more or less equal yet out of George’s songs two of them (Piggies and Savoy Truffle) are arguably the more forgettable songs on the album, While My Guitar Gently Weeps could easily be argued is the best song on that album. Even some of their earlier albums like A Hard Day’s Night or Help! where John almost definitely has the general better songs, most people will come away remembering And I Love Her or Yesterday, both Paul songs.

I think on the albums I haven’t mentioned all the main songwriters (sorry Ringo) perform at a similar level to each other so it’s not really worth mentioning, but if anyone has any other examples I’d like to hear

So orange, it's exactly UT Vols orange
