Can anybody give the review about this song other than comments about a band which has been in grave for almost 40 years? I wonder where I can get this Ashton composition?

This case seems happenned with Led Zeppelin (I can't stand comments said Led Zeppelin is better than Deep Purple at all considerations) and U2 (great in popularity, but their music says nothing to impress me except social and humanity lyrics) But after all The Beatles still standing as the greatest band in this world. Yes they are looked like boyband. But they are also wonderful songwriters and lyricist, very creative and genius(or crazy???), pioneers of modern music (First time I heard Daytripper, Sgt. Peppers, Hey Jude, Martha My Dear, and Come Together, I thought they came from sometimes in the 80's but how wrong could I be), and other things that make sense for all of us.

It´s widely recognised that The Beatles were considered the worlds first boy band, with all the trademarks present:catchy songs,corny lyrics,shrieking fans(teen girls mainly),cute image,teen magazines and daft films! Hell....Even the Überveggie himself Macca have stated so in numerous interviews! Ignorance is no excuse Priest! Yeah...They were great occassionally but in my mind greatly overrated!!!!!!

A boy band?! Come on! I love all kinds of music incl The Stones but prefer The Beatles. Btw, I m one of the Mc Cartney gang not John Lennons I think you already knew.

I think they were very inovative and quite ahead of their time. A phenomenon or boy band?? I don't hardly think so.

The main difference between The Beatles and The Stones were more than musical.....Fab four sang about "holding hands" and Jagger & co. about "F**KING"! To say The Beatles were rebellious is just ridicilous! They were probably as dangerous as Gandhi on weed!! Back to "the Mule", Made in Japan Version cranked up to maximum volume!Ciao Bella......ROCK ON! Dear Andrea!

A Man need to dream,for his soul,for his freedom. About Beatles, I prefered always them to Rolling Stones,Beatles were the real rebel band before RS..more trasgressive (IMHO) ciao cheers stefan 3
