_jr_ Posted April 14, 2005 Report 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 Posted April 14, 2005 Report 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.
RonJonSurfer Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 If I was to pick a couple from each of the boys: Paul - Too Many People and Beware My Love John - Give Me Some Truth and Number 9 Dream George - Dark Horse and Give Me Love Ringo - I'm the Greatest and Back off Boogaloo
edna Posted April 14, 2005 Report 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!
Steel2Velvet Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 George - Got My Mind Set On You Paul - Maybe I'm Amazed John - Watching The Wheels Go Round Ringo - anything that has Eric Clapton playing real loud on it.
Uncle Joe Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Well, my list is quite similar to Ron's. Allow me to expand on it a bit. 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?

Then burn some extras and sell 'em to us.

bluesboy Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 I've always liked McCartney's first 2 solo albums McCartney and Ram
Steel2Velvet Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 Well, my list is quite similar to Ron's. Allow me to expand on it a bit. John - I've always liked The Ballad Of John and Yoko. 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.
DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 Ringo- You're Sixteen George- Got My Mind Set on You John- Imagine, Stand By Me Paul- Maybe I'm Amazed Don't forget the stuff Paul did with Wings.
_jr_ Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Posted April 15, 2005 This is great. I almost started keeping a list, but I figured, why? I have one right here. Thanks everyone. I'm going to wait a bit longer. Oh, and I forgot about Back Off Boogaloo!!
miamisammy29 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "Down in the jungle living in a tent You don't use money you don't pay rent You don't ever know the time But you don't mind Ho hey ho Ho hey ho When your light is on the blink You never think of worrying What's the use of worrying? When your bus has left the stop You'd better drop your hurrying What's the use of hurrying? Leave me alone Mrs Vanderbilt I've got plenty of time of my own What's the use of worrying? What's the use of hurrying? What's the use of anything? Ho hey ho Ho hey ho"
CanAm Posted April 15, 2005 Report Posted April 15, 2005 Paul - Live And Let Die, Maybe I'm Amazed, Band On The Run and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey Ringo - It Don't Come Easy, You're Sixteen, The No No Song John - Imagine and Woman George - If Not For You, What Is Life and Give Me Love
bazooka Posted April 16, 2005 Report 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.
katie_sane Posted April 16, 2005 Report 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!! ::
