The Beatles are the greatest band of all time?

BACKGROUND HISTORY: The first musical bands home in New Orleans among black musicians, who have traditionally were the innovators. The first jazz album ever recorded was The Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1917, and of course they were white because racism always rears its head ugly to keep the blacks back. But during the Roaring 20, the white kids could not resist the dance beat laid down by the black jazz bands. Fletcher Henderson, a black man, became the first band leader to achieve national fame, possibly because he had Louis Armstrong on trumpet. Duke Ellington, musician training classic, brought a level of sophistication and style of jazz that had not been seen before. But it was not until 1935 that the bands of jazz with a swing Achieved national attention due to Benny Goodman who I think was the best clarinet player ever to blow air into that instrument. Benny also had the good sense and good taste to bring the first great drummer Gene Krupa in his band.

When the rock and roll exploded into human consciousness during the early 1950s, black musicians like Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and led the way, but a white DJ named Alan Freed is believed to coined the term "rock and roll term. The first real rock and roll record was "Shake, Rattle and Roll", written by Jesse Stone, who was black and recorded by Big Joe Turner, who was also black, but was not a success. The first big hit rock and nominal record was "Rock Around the Clock" written by James Meyers and Max Freeman of obvious ancestry, and that catapulted Bill Haley and His Comets to stardom white. During the 1950s and early '60s, there were countless "do wop" groups, rock groups, singers and songwriters but until The Beatles hit the charts, there were few bands which contained talented songwriters. The vast majority of jazz and rock bands, has recorded songs written by composers who were not artists, with rare exceptions, such as Duke Ellington and Buddy Holly. As time passes, it is increasingly clear that the songs of Lennon / McCartney is brilliant classics which will never be forgotten. Now here's why the Beatles are the most creative band of all time:

1. BEST EXAMPLE OF FORM CONTENT =

As I sit here writing this at the keyboard of my computer facing the unique and colorful Beatles poster in my room, I'm aware of I have been directly and indirectly inspired by the music of John Lennon and the way he lived his life offstage. Directly in front is a colorful poster of all four Beatles standing in a heavenly flower, as garden or around the time of the album Abbey Road. Paul is angelic in his pink suit with a white shirt tied. John Fey is looking out of the fund. George is charismatic staring directly into the camera from the bottom right corner. Ringo is left with an elegant blue suit and his pink ruffled shirt. I always wished I could dress like these guys, but obviously there's a bit of a problem with a differential of money there. Surrounding this poster beautiful that I have never seen elsewhere are my 45 speed original Beatles hit records, including I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Please Please Me Twist and Shout, Can not Buy Me Love, She's A Woman Today, and of course, Hey Jude. And back everything is a chain of 1-1/2 "long orange lights flicker flame lights which are more beautiful and original Christmas I've ever seen. I chose to decorate the wall in front of my workstation this way because, as I wrote elsewhere on this site several times, the Beatles were my biggest musical influence and having them on the wall in front of me inspires me to write web pages like this one. I was also among the millions of people who were inspired by how the Beatles were actually living their lives offstage. The Beatles music creativity stimulated millions of people to change way they were living, and behavior of the Beatles encouraged people to have fun trying new lifestyle experiences. That's what I call a perfect example of FORM = content. In this case, this means that creativity and mastery of varied music The Beatles were producing (form) embodied the lifestyle that every real one of the four Beatles were living (content) and a band as well as separately as unique individuals.

2. Top composers

This should be self-evident, but just because Paul McCartney has the title of most popular composer in history does not necessarily make him the best composer in history. The qualities that make Paul and John the best songwriters in history go beyond writing the largest number of catchy classic songs. "Catchy" means that their melodies and lyrics are instantly memorable. "Classic" means that the test of time. But both Paul and John wrote very melodies sophisticated, even beyond the simple groups of 2, 4 and 8 patterned phrases used by almost all other composers. John Paul and melodies soared, floated, cascaded, dived and culminated with the real dynamics, naturally following the syllabic lyric patterns - but not always. Sometimes the melodic and lyric patterns were independent each other, almost counterpoint in nature, and as a composer, never ceased to amaze me with their brilliance and originality. In the beginning, their lyrics were simple and their songs were simple love songs. But they soon began exploring new territory, writing about subjects that had not been covered before. Inspired by Bob Dylan, who wrote true poetry with feeling and depth, using evocative words and unusual. Rubber Soul marked the beginning of their development as writers mature, Revolver was a break out album, and Sergeant Pepper album was a landmark in terms of new and innovative compositions, as well as production. Each song they wrote was significantly different than the last, though each song had their unmistakable sound.

Most composers are merely players median on their instruments, but John and Paul are both sophisticated guitarists who were able to integrate their playing into their songs and even in its structure Song for the "licks" they played became attractive as a part of their songs as the choruses and verses. Blackbird and Dear Prudence are only two examples of songs that could not be written by any other songwriter because of the guitar, which is part of the structure of the song. Similarly, Lady Madonna is the best example of a great song which derives from the underside of unique and beautiful that only Paul could have created.

Average composers achieve catchy quality by repeating a sentence without stopping or hitting a chorus to death. John and Paul found countless ways to be memorable without ever overly repeating something. The only time something repeated over and over again for a long time was in Hey Jude, and they chose to repeat is so gorgeous that one can only wish that I had never finished the song. The Beatles were my biggest musical influence and I used to think, "If I could just write a song that is as good as the worst song John and Paul, I'd be happy. "People tell me they achieved that goal and they say a good example is John who is alive is my sincere tribute to Sir Lennon.

3. BEST SINGERS

Even Ringo could sing when he got a little help from his friends who lived in the yellow submarine. But to say that Paul and John are two of the best singers in rock and roll is to state the obvious. The combination of John, Paul and George created the best harmony vocals the world has ever experienced. Even his two harmonies were unusual, catching us all by surprise in his first recording with the fast harmony melisma in the chorus of I Want to Hold Your Hand. John had a gift for placing of a single low harmony line underneath Paul's melody line high to form a second melody which created unusual harmony effects. He did that from the beginning in verse She loves it to. Paul and John could blast the screaming rock and roll (ie Long Tall Sally and Twist and Shout), and both could break our hearts with touching, Yesterday deep feeling ballads (ie, and Julia). There seems no end to their emotional vocal range, and John has explored the heights of vocal psychedelia in songs As She Said (Revolver) and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.

4. MOST CREATIVE PLAYERS

Paul brought a new style of playing bass guitar for the melody, reaching a new peak of creativity on Sergeant Pepper with a level of sophistication never before heard. Many other musicians besides me recognize Paul as being one of the best guitar players ever. George is underrated as a guitarist by people with average or below average musical knowledge or skill, but most guitarists (including Eric Clapton) know better. George strength lies in melody, pure and simple. It would be difficult to find a George Harrison lead which is not melodic, and each of its leads has a strong beginning, a strong middle and a well-defined finish. Actually, this is the definition of what makes Eric a good vantage guitar. George continuously develop new guitar sounds for each Beatles song. John and Paul are also excellent guitarists and both recorded great leads as well as innovative rhythm tracks. All three Beatles guitarists may lack showy technical fireworks but they make the definition of the field of guitar irrelevant, overwhelming the senses, with creativity, style and pure melody. The same thing can be said about the role of John Paul and keyboard. Ringo may be underestimated by the public as a drummer, but he is not underrated by other professional drummers. Ringo mastered the art of percussion sounds. No drummer has recorded many different sounds in so many different records sound. Ringo invented a new slow drumming symbolized in One Day in the Life and Strawberry Fields Forever. John said many times, "Ringo has the best hit back in business" and drummers successful studio understand why John was correct.

5. TOTAL CHARISMA

A good definition of charisma needs to include "an unusual ability to influence people and arouse devotion "and" a personal attractiveness which enables a person to influence others. "No musical group prior to or after The Beatles features true charisma emanating strongly from the entire group and separately for each member. The Beatles stunned the world with their photogenic quality, its charm, its bubbles and loving personalities, their cuteness and their unique style. Even before The Beatles achieved fame, people in Liverpool were imitating their hair, the shape how they dressed, the way they behaved, and how they lived. Such a simple subliminal message about smoking marijuana has communicated to all the hippies who were waiting to happen without actual words ever being spoken. The Beatles had a lot to lose by being explicit about it, but they successfully avoided the problem by keeping it very subtle and at the same time, clear enough so that we all have it. The Fab Four kept changing their styles quickly, almost with each album cover, and soon the message became one of spiritism explicit. After visiting India, The Beatles introduced eastern mysticism and meditation to the Western world for the first time through the mass media. long saga John with internal angst, drugs, spiritualism, politics, personal battles, and finally his marriage to Yoko played out like a movie the whole world has to watch in fascination. Paul happy life with Linda, George's great focus on meditation and equanimity throughout were all perfect Ringo examples of the power, truth and efficacy of charisma really.

6. SEXUAL AURA

Need I say that? Ask the millions of girls who were screaming and fainting when you see them a lot. "Boys" does not move like Elvis or dance like Mick, who stood there shaking their "mop top" heads around, smiling, laughing, and looking gorgeous as they performed good music and that was it. On his first visit to the United States, a crazy entrepreneur from New York has cut up the sheets of the hotel The Beatles had slept on in a "square pieces, and these things were actually sold to girls over the public airwaves by adult DJ's on radio stations AM, I should have known better. The Beatles phenomenon went far beyond rock and roll sex star status had been seen before. Teens in countless numbers fell, his heart was arrested, his heart strings to be continually plucked, and ultimately, their hearts to be broken by the object of his love unreachable. Worshiping a star from afar? Passion? Obsession? There is true love? For many, it was their first experience feeling love for a man / boy. Whatever it was, was very real to everyone, and we all soon realized that the Beatles were The Real Thing.

That's why I call The Beatles the most creative band of all time. They were The Real Thing. Zenith Creative. The high point of the bell curve of musical history.
