You also realize that Revolver was the point in which he began to creatively take over the band. He clearly outshines Lennon here in depth and versatility and continued to do so through Magical Mystery. This is hardly opinion but generally understood to be the case, so while it is perfectly valid to prefer Lennon's mid-Beatles output, there is no doubt that Paul was responsible for their creative, avant-garde direction-- he devised and made the tape loops for Tomorrow Never Knows, played lead guitar on Taxman, and not to mention that his bass-playing on this album is impossible to overstate. A truly amazing album.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322312194507483244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22651202688624541.post-29162972452860140322010-10-13T01:17:44.632-04:002010-10-13T01:17:44.632-04:00i totally associate "got to get you into my l...i totally associate "got to get you into my life" and "good day sunshine" together as stuff i nearly always skip, but "eleanor rigby"? what is wrong with you???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656262422089526697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22651202688624541.post-67473560790332249562008-11-26T22:35:00.000-05:002008-11-26T22:35:00.000-05:00I remember maybe Christmas 1970, when I was 8, Mum...I remember maybe Christmas 1970, when I was 8, Mum got me a cassette player and Dad got me a couple of tapes. One tape was Abbey Road (for me) the other was Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line, I suspect for himself.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Abbey Road quickly replaced Rupert Bear's "Spin A Magic Tune" as my favourite album and started my proper record collection, including Revolver and all other Beatles.<BR/><BR/>Great writing, really enjoying reading your memories of a lot of my albums. Good luck with getting through 30 years worth.eyeteegeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868488000016193837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22651202688624541.post-70155248337492391812008-11-16T16:32:00.000-05:002008-11-16T16:32:00.000-05:00My band was named Revolver for this album.
