_jr_ 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Anyone who's been here a while knows I enjoy downloading and burning cds. I always like to have a theme of some sort, and I have decided to burn a cd with the work of George, Ringo, John and Paul's post Beatles work. Any suggestions? I know I could easily fill up a cd or two, I just like to hear what others enjoy. I can gather songs I might not normally think to put on a cd myself. Thanks, Songfactors.

Batman 2 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Well my favorite George Harrison songs are "Wah-Wah" and "Beware of Darkness." The album Things Must Pass is good, and it has a surprisingly good 2nd disc if you download the newer version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edna 6 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Ringo´s first solo album is beautifulll... but "It don´t come easy" is a very good song. "Photograph" too... George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord", "Wah Wah", "What is Life" and "Apple Scruffs", "Isn´t it a pity"... Two songs of his second album, the one that goes "IIIII want you, honey but don´t make wait too long..." (title???) and "Give me love"... Paul´s firt album is good: "Junk", "Too many people", "Teddy boy", "Tht would be something". "Ram" has good songs too but I hardly recall them... John Lennon: I would burn everything... I mean, on cds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George - All Those years Ago or Got My Mind Set On You and Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth). Paul - Maybe I'm Amazed, Every Night, Another Day, Let 'Em In, My Love. John - Happy Christmas-War Is Over,Watching The Wheels Go Round, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, Jealous Guy, Just Like Starting Over and I've always liked The Ballad Of John and Yoko. Ringo - The No-No Song..it's fun and Vinie Poncia plays real loud on it..LOL Jr., you must let us know what songs you end up using. Might be a triple disc set, huh?

I always thought this was considered the Beatle's final single record. Paul plays and sings harmony, George plays guitar and I just figured that was Ringo on drums.

bazooka 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Ringo's second solo album, a Country/Western effort called Beaucoups Of Blues was a stupendous crossover flop. But a friend bought it, and we listened to it quite a bit. Ringo's vocals are not great (not surprising) but the back-up players are big league, and the lyrics and arrangements in some of these songs are pretty interesting. I remember the title song and Love Don't Last Long in particular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie_sane 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I am reading George Harrison's book "I, Me, Mine" at the moment and in it he explains the meaning/purpose/reason to each of the songs he wrote. I never realised he wrote so many great songs and how fantastically talented he was!! My first ever favourite song was 'Got My Mind Set On You' by George. I was four years old and I adored it!! :: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
