The Beatles Earn First Grammy Nomination in History for an AI-Assisted Song

As for me, I also grew up in that timeframe and I thought the Beatles were the greatest band on the planet. Bought many of their albums, my favourite was Rubber Soul. I thought George Harrison was a great guitarist. Paul McCartney wrote most of their songs and John Lennon was a great singer. And Ringo Starr was the lucky one as he replaced drummer George Best who quit the band in their early days.

George Best was a football player for Manchester United, Ringo replaced Pete Best. Yes, Ringo was the lucky one, no question about that, he never had any talent, still doesn't

as a young teen i grew up in the Beatlemania era.........and i had zero interest intheir music.....sacriligious, I know to many of the posters on this topic...........however i became aware of their early stuff and their covers of original songs done primarily by black artists,,,,Please Mr Postman by the Marvellettes comes to mind.........anyway this led me to seek out the originals and to my great discovery i said "holy flying frigg" this stuff is vastly superior to the versions put out by the Beatles...........and a life long love of Soul/R&B resulted.........i realize that the Beatles evolved from just a boy band to something greater.........but forgive me if i dont get ga ga over their music..lol.......everyone has a different set of ears and certain types of music affects how the feel..............but the Beatles. regardless of their talent were just not for me

I grew up in England during the Beatlemania era and listened to the same R and B bands that inspired The Beatles and other Liverpool/Northern bands. I now listen to a station via Roku dedicated to 'Classic R and B' artists............brilliant

The Beatles had throw-away songs that would have been big hits for other bands of the day. "Hey Bulldog", "Got to Get You Into My Life", "Taxman" and "Rain" are some examples.

Take this as one fan to another... but... Taxman is one of the greatest BASS-driven tunes ever written and it was their protest song to the British govt. It is NOT a throwaway tune IMHO.

Taxman was written George Harrison, it was the one or two songs songs John, Paul or producer George Martin allowed Harrison to have on Beatles albums. After they split up George was the first to release a solo album "All Things Must Pass", a double album. He was ready to go, he'd been stockpiling songs for years. George wrote some brilliant songs, totally underrated songwriter.
