Paul McCartney is 80 next month. My parents weren't ever into them and we never had any albums in the house. My knowledge of Beatles tunes is limited to the hits. Same here. I'm 47 and the first time I remember hearing The Beatles was in Ferris Beuler's Day Off when I was about 13. I went out and bought Rock n Roll music volume 1 on vinyl because Twist and Shout totally blew me away in that film. I believe it was the first record I ever went out and bought. I grew to like a lot of the Beatles stuff over the years, but I always tended to listen to hits type albums than their actual album release. They did some great music. They also did some utter guff. Octopus's Garden springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents weren't ever into them and we never had any albums in the house. My knowledge of Beatles tunes is limited to the hits. I was almost 11 by the time I "got into" pop music. The Beatles had split at least a year prior to that, and therefore for me were completely irrelevant since they weren't on TotP and only on the radio when "oldies" were being played. I quite liked Paul McCartney's rockier songs with Wings, but the others were producing nothing musical of any interest to me. I've grown to appreciate them since then, although there are plenty of 60s bands I like far more, but the only songs of theirs I know well are the Sgt Pepper album and their singles.

Our English teacher gave over the next lesson to John. We weren’t really sure who John Lennon was. It must have been a big deal for the teacher though. I was about 11 when my Mum told me that Lennon was dead, I was confused for a while as I thought Lenin had already been dead for some time... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I was born in 62. I went to Uni in 1981. We used to fill a room and jam beatles songs from a tattered copy of 'The Beatles Complete'. We also traditionally sang Beatles songs at the end of our pub crawls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Lenin's embalmed corpse in the mausoleum in Red Square. TBH he looked less realistic than a waxwork (and may have well been for all I know).
