A revolution. The weight of it. Slow down those naysayers. I actually prefer Magical Mystery Tour over Sgt. Pepper.

Lots of Beatles today please, George Martin left us this week but his master producing style remains in all those amazing recordings.

Still lookin' for that Eggman
Not my favorite Beatles song back in 1967 but it sure sounds fantastic today. 10.

2 Beatles songs within 2 hours of each other? WHAT? WHY? ('when i'm 64' was on 2hours ago, 12:08 PST). i can just about handle 1, but 2 and its PSD for me (from shuffle in my iTunes) - today got 'Panama' - Van Halen. sooo much better!

Woke up this morning to the news of George Martin's passing.
So very sad but I will spend the day listening to lots and lots of wonderful George Martin productions.

My guess is their disgust has more to do with those ridiculous costumes than with the quality of the song!
First of all, I will never understand the phrase, "I hate the Beatles". Second, I actually like Hello Goodbye as a song. It sounds great, even though it is on the sappy side. But if you really want to see what Harrison and Lennon think of the song, just watch the video. Harrison has such a strong look of disgust on his face (check the 0:22, 0:35 and 2:13 marks). At one point he looks away from the camera dismissively and has that "I can't believe I have to be here" look. Lennon just goofs around, at one point doing his Elvis guitar swing.

I voted 2. It is SO annoying.... Most great Beatles songs are primarily written by Harrison or Lennon, the only exception I'm aware of is Get Back, that one's really good. But there are so many (less known) Beatles songs, I might have missed some.

Whatever you liked, he didn't. His business was to make you angry and defensive by mocking, belittling, and debasing something you loved. Amazing how well it worked--also perhaps not so amazing how often he got beat up.
I doubt I'll change your mind, but don't you think this is a quite mean, narrow, and even a bit bullying post by you? You seem to advocate violence here. I assure you that you do not love art more then me, and I would never resort to violence because someone did not like my band.

Yes, this is a fine Beatles album. It may not be their best, but I never understood why so many think Magical Mystery Tour is a lesser album. If I remember correctly, it didn't do as well as Sargent Pepper when it came out and the critics really slammed it, but I think it has aged well.
Back in the day, i had every single Beatle album and single.......and this is the only one to have survived all the upgrades and purges, and remains in my treasured vinyl collection. a sublime work of art.

Wrong era LongGoneDaddy. At least "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" was a direct lyric. This one bounces aimlessly in a systematic roundabout of simplistic jargon. Just not for me so much and don't understand why it has such a high rating.

I was living in Iceland when this song came out. It always brings back memories of a beautiful country and even more beautiful women.
Is there a reason I can hear any song from these guys, at any time, and never dislike it?

I've always preferred this album to all their others, even Sgt Pepper. I can remember buying the 45s of this backed with "I Am The Walrus" and a few months later, "Penny Lane" backed with "Strawberry Fields" came out. I've always thought those two 45s were the peak of the Flower Power era of rock.

Good song. Great album. Same year as Disraeli Gears and Surrealistic Pillow... What a decade-! So much music and so many new artist's doing great work.... No mush-sounds all seeming the same.

Back in Chicago in the 70's we had a local band that did Beatles and Kinks stuff and they'd sing this song as such:
You say eat sh!t and I say f!ck off and so on....
You say eat sh!t and I say f!ck off and so on....
Love .. love .. I have this as my ring tone...

It's a Macca-penned song, after all.
In context - when this was on the radio it was pretty unique;
1 To Sir With Love/ The Boat That I Row Lulu
2 There's A Kind Of Hush Herman's Hermits
3 Penny Lane Beatles
4 Somethin' Stupid Frank & Nancy Sinatra
5 All You Need Is Love Beatles
6 A Little Bit Me A Little Bit You Monkees
7 Ode To Billy Joe Bobbie Gentry
8 The Letter Box Tops
9 Light My Fire Doors
10 The Rain, Park & Other Things Cowsills
11 Green Green Grass Of Home Tom Jones
12 Happy Together Turtles
13 Gaslight Ugly Ducklings Back
14 Never My Love Association
15 Georgy Girl Seekers
16 I Can See For Miles Who
17 Pleasant Valley Sunday Monkees
18 A Whiter Shade Of Pale Procol Harum
19 I Think We're Alone Now Tommy James & The Shondells
20 Sweet Soul Music Arthur Conley
21 White Rabbit Jefferson Airplaine
22 Happy Jack Who
In the company of Hermans Hermits, The Association, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, etal. the cachet of this song and it's presence stood out. Even in the company of their other charted efforts at the time - All You Need is Love, Penny Lane, - Hello, Goodbye had the experimental roll of "Walrus", that made it stand out.
And next to Pleasant Valley Sunday and Green, Green Grass of Home, it was like orange barrel. Really freaking weird (at the time).

I remember seeing two Beatles movies as a child.
Yellow Submarine was one, and I think MMT was the name of the second....man, the years have condemned my memory somewhat!

This a song typical of the great Paul McCartney in the way it's musically stronger than lyrically. Although Paul can and did write great lyrics,he is usually much stronger as a great bass player,great singer, good piano player,good drummer and great music composer! He got the music from his very musically talented father Jim McCartney who was a self taught accomlished classical jazz pianist,who was the leader of his own jazz band in the 1930's and they were polular in clubs in England. His father wasn't a poet though and wrote a few instrumentals one of them called Walking in The Park With Eloise Paul and Wings recorded on their 1976 album Wings At The Speed of Sound.
What an informative post, I'm a huge McCartney fan, don't let the screen name fool you. I knew that Pauls dad was a big influence but I did not know how much. With all the songs that Paul has written, I find it intersting that he does not know how to read music. I can read some but I do not apply it when I'm playing and or writing anything on my guitar
The Beatles.... love 'em! More, please!
Amazing, but kids these days are 'rediscovering' the Beatles, and loving it. They are blown away by a musical phenomena called "melody". And songs with more than 3 power chords....

Although I like Orbital, I'd like to hear them try to re-create any of their tracks with nothing more technologically advanced than a mellotron and some reel-to-reel tape loops.

I have always thought that this piece was one of the decades finest 3.
Perhaps The Doors and Ian Morrison doing LA Woman would be another, and Aqualung by Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson as another top 3.
I suppose someone elses' mileage would vary of course, so does anyone else have a different choice?

Did physicsgenius use to have another name?
Love that McCartney a-cha a-cha at the end.Perhaps the best percussion of any Beatles album. Ringo was inspired.

Always great to hear this song.

You may not like their music, but please don't deny their talent and influence on popular music!
Too bad this song has become a commercial ditty for Target
This a song typical of the great Paul McCartney in the way it's musically stronger than lyrically. Although Paul can and did write great lyrics,he is usually much stronger as a great bass player,great singer, good piano player,good drummer and great music composer! He got the music from his very musically talented father Jim McCartney who was a self taught accomlished classical jazz pianist,who was the leader of his own jazz band in the 1930's and they were polular in clubs in England. His father wasn't a poet though and wrote a few instrumentals one of them called Walking in The Park With Eloise Paul and Wings recorded on their 1976 album Wings At The Speed of Sound.

I love it too. Interesting that I came to appreciate it only 35 years after the fact, when a wise Lennon-worshipping friend of mine persuaded me to pay closer attention to it.
ahhhh. we needed this now. 
very nice! thanksI grew up listening to the music my parents liked, along with the music I liked, e.g. Beatles. I didn\'t care much for my parents music then (Sinatra, Nat King Cole), although I do now. What amazes me is how much my kids like the Beatles, too.

I am constantly amazed at the number of songs here with a 1 rating. I understand that everyone has different tastes but for so many of the songs on RP to have a 1 rating makes me wonder....not sure what I wonder, I just wonder.

An excellent point... I'm repeating another post I made to a Beatle complainer... Michael Stipe once called Beatle music "elevator music" and Elvis Costello retorted in the press that "without the Beatles's "elevator music" that Michael Stipe would still be taking the stairs... a great comment and definitely a truism if there ever was.
So, short story, Johray63 is right, Orbital is wrong, and probably should be listening to another station...
None of the music we hear today was created out of the ether... Smashmouth borrows from the Beatles, and the Beatles found inspiration in everyone from Gershwin to Beethoven... the trick is to build upon the innovations of others, not rip off actual tunes... but I digress in a Dandy Warhols kind of way...
Cheers

Makes me wonder what Orbital (or popmusic) would have sound like, without the Beatles.Sure it\'s fluff, but it sounds so great \'cause it\'s writen by Paul and played by the Beatles!
