I've just discovered the Beatles?
What are people's opinions of them?
I like their later stuff.
Watch Yesterday, it's just a wonderful good feeling of The Beatles music.
The simple songs they did are just impossible to reproduce
Lennon McCartney brilliant song writers

They played in Ireland once.
There's a good museum in Liverpool if anyone is ever over for an Everton or Tranmere match.
I'm more of a Stones fan tbh

Had strong Irish heritage, as did many of the defining British musicians from when Lonnie Donegan started it all in the 50s and inspired The Beatles with his skiffle music to present day. That said, the Irish political songs after the breakup of The Beatles were not their best efforts musically, though the message dead on. My 5:
Norwegian Wood
In My Life
Two of Us
Strawberry Fields Forever
Revolution

Watching the Stones now, that era was their best, sympathy for the devil video (back in the day) has the Beatles dancing in the music video lol.
Difference for me, and I love the Stones, the Beatles have a music catalog that is nearly endless.
The Stones have about 10 amazing songs the Beatles about 25
The only thing Billys Boots and I disagreed on was The Beatles.
I'm a massive fan.
Billy - not so much.
In the latter years hearing the various outtakes and studio jamming has been wonderful.
The 'revised' Let it Be fillum was just fantastic.

Taxman
Something
Old Brown Shoe
Here comes the sun
I quite like their early stuff like Day Tripper , Ticket to ride etc. Great riffs
In my life , here comes the sun , let it be are great tunes.
Lucy in the sky, ob la Di, yellow submarine are decent tunes , but it's just a pity they weren't off their tits when they were recording them , otherwise they'd have sounded a lot better. Then again , these tunes probably only exist because they wrote them while off their tits.

I did The Beatles Story museum a few years back when there for a game.
It just happened that a friend of their's from back in the day, Joe Flannery, was doing an appearance at the museum for his book "Standing in the Wings". No one was there! So I felt bad and bought one. Very nice man.
Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary is just brilliant.
An eight hour glimpse into how they went about their business making the Let It Be album, culminating in the rooftop concert.
The John- Paul partnership- for two lads supposedly almost on the outs at the time, they were nearly finishing each other's sentences.
At least 8 of the main characters in the film - George, John, George Martin, Billy Preston, Linda McCartney (who strangely didn't attend the rooftop show) Maureen Starr, Neil Aspinal and Mal Evans are no longer with us.
