In reply to the discussion: Any Beatle song or album special to you for some reason? [View all]mulsh
(2,959 posts)21. Meet the Beatls always sounds frech to me.
The stuff they first released has an energy that the later group just couldn't find. Hey Jude and Long and Winding Road sound like dirges to me. Let It Be sounds like a dirge too with the added aspect that it is what my Irish grand parents would say to tell us to "Leave it alone.' I always thought it was McCarney's subtle way of saying "it's over".
I also really love the BBC sets. Beatles at their best with none of that "dead Beatle sound" crap that Lennon complained about with their recorded stuff.
