Question Is it fair to say that Ringo and Paul are aging so well because of the love they received from the days of The Beatles?
This might be my dumbest post but does Love play a factor in our health?

I made a new Beatles song I'm drunk and high goes like this:
I am the Warewolf!
(Whooooo!)
Knight Sir Warewolf!
(Whooooo!)
I am the Eggman!
Coo coo KaChoo Ka Coo Fuckin' Coo!
( I'll work on the verses when I sober up)

I am a massive fan of George and think some of his songwriting contributions are peak Beatles, BUT I also find some of his weak tracks to be more filler than average Lennon/McCartney tracks.
My favourite George tracks:
- Here Comes The Sun
- Long, Long, Long
- Something
- Think For Yourself
- WMGGW
- Don’t Bother Me
- If I Needed Someone
- The Inner Light
Outside of the above I find everything else a little middle of the road.
So I’m asking an honest question, what George songs that never made it onto Beatles albums could actually take the spots of Lennon/McCartney songs?
Ones that spring to mind:
- All Things Must Pass
- Not Guilty
- isn’t It A Pity
- Beware of Darkness
- What Is Life
- My Sweet Lord
Keen to hear your thoughts!

Has anyone ever stopped to think about the fact that there are literally tens of thousands of photos of all four Beatles?!?! For like 20+ years all of them got photographed doing literally everything in their daily lives—like, even the most MUNDANE stuff, there’s somehow physical evidence of.
For example, I saw a TikTok slideshow today of John, Yoko, and Sean sledding in Central Park. But like… why? Why did they feel the need to record these extremely normal events? If anything, I feel like there would be a shortage of photos of them all, seeing as they were in their primes in a time before portable cameras for the masses. It just seems like they always had a photographer at the ready for no apparent reason. Were they just exceptionally vain? Did they just know that one day every photo of them ever taken would be considered pieces of history?
I hope I was able to articulate what I mean by all this in a sensible way lol.

I'm curious who might be on the cover if the boys were to release the album in 2027 instead of 1967. I imagine Hitler might have made the cut this time around, but who else? And, yes, the Trump meme was my inspiration for asking.

What if Michael Jackson had wanted a song with John Lennon in addition to the Girl Is Mine with Paul? What do you think it would've sounded like? Just imagine John and MJ jamming in the studio in 1982 trying to come up with the final song to put on Thriller!

I’m going to rate and explain every song on the Beatles debut album. I have never listened to a Beatles album through, and also am a very casual fan. I do not know most of these songs. I will also try to guess the singers. As I am an expert on all things music, this is to be taken as law and will henceforth be the only correct rating. Let’s begin.
I saw her standing there: funky, groovy, catchy. I think this is the Beatles debut. 9/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Misery: yeah this pretty much sums it all up. Funky love song= Paul. Immediately after you get this song. Pain and suffering=john. Sad lyrics, happy beat. Very early sixties feel. 7.5/10
Guess:John Lennon
Anna (go to him): vocals are sick on this song. Still very groovy, I like the bass lines on this. A song I would dance with someone to. Cover I believe. Another sad song, so gotta be one person.. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon.
Chains: harmonica right out the gate is a choice. Sounds like a rhythm and blues song. Keyboard I think? Pretty cool. Another cover I think. 7/10
Guess: George Harrison
Boys: bass is really sweet on this. Backing vocals are very reminiscent of the 50s. Guitar is cool. 8/10
Guess: Is this ringo?
Ask me why: love the vocals. Very much a love song. Jazzy guitar and bass here. Ringo’s percussion really shines here
8/10
Guess: John Lennon
Please please please me: self titled track. That damn harmonica again lol. loving the chorus of voices. Great self titled track. 9/10
Guess: fuck if I know. John lennon?
Love me do: boy do they love harmonica. I actually like it a lot here. Nice vocals. Starting to really like ringo. Feels like
He drums just enough on every track. 8/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Ps I love you: cool melody. A bit too much of a sappy song for my taste. Loved how short it was. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
Baby it’s you:
really nice vocals. Like this a lot. 8/10
Guess: John Lennon
Do you want to know a secret: nice opening vocals. I really like the drumming on this one. This guy has my favorite voice so far. 9/10
Guess: George Harrison? Could be John Lennon.
A taste of honey: nice vocals. Not really my thing. Drags in my opinion. 7/10
Guess: Paul McCartney
There’s a place: I love this song. Lyrics sound like a later Beatles song. Two singers? I hear one voice I recognize so I’m going with that. Other could be any of the other three.
Guess: John Lennon
Twist and shout: one of the best closing songs on an album ever in my opinion. John Lennon puts on an amazing vocal performance. 10/10

Is it among your top 10 albums ever or top 15,20,100? What Beatles record you think it might actually be better than and what Beatles records you still see as better? What year you first hear it?
What's your overall opinion on the 1967 record said to be the "most prophetic record ever created"?

Great song but the intro is so jarring. Can't include it in my playlist on account of not wanting to be jumpscared. Is there a version without the intro?

I want this revolver poster, because it is sick! Buttttt I searched to see if it was in other sites and it showed this one for 25 bucks, compared to the large 85 price on the other one I found on the other Beatles store, should I buy the 25$ one or is it fake website?

There are a lot of divisive opinions on this album; specifically The Stones themselves, and some Beatles fans. But, this album feels uniquely outstanding from the rest, and the cover totally reminds a lot of Sgt Pepper. To be fair, if it wasn't for the cover, I think it would received much better than it would and the comparisons won't be clear. Between the Buttons is already a Beatles-esque album though. TSMR feels like if Sgt Pepper and The Piper at Gates of Dawn had a lovechild. I think this album is great. Psychedelic asf.

I have been a lifetime fan of the Beatles, and I’m about to be a dad for the first time… I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on which music to play to my baby girl? Any suggestions are welcome, thank you so much :)
Edit: Thank you so much for all your responses, I didn’t expect this post to get me all emotional, but here I am, making a big playlist and happy crying
