I would have bet money that the 50th was last year. All these Beatles half-century anniversaries are starting to blend in, I guess.
1967. I remember buying it in June. I remember my garage band trying to learn some of it and we gave up, it was so hard.
It is hard..those songs sound so deceptively simple and sweet in so many ways..just try em..and then..to make them sound decent?..playing AND singing em? Get a guitar part down and then start working on the vocal arrangements?
class of their own, very tough to bring it to where it can leave your bedroom...and you can't hide behind distortion on almost all of them
And that's the case for almost all of their materiel. My wife and I worked up "Can't Buy Me Love" for a charity gig recently. One of their simplest songs, and it is damn hard to get right. It also says a lot about Lennon & McCartney's talents as composers that they could get a happy pop hit out of mostly minor chords. You look at the sheet music for that one and think, "This should sound like Death Metal," but it doesn't.
