Andy Partridge is surely one of Britain's greatest songwriters.

    Unfortunately Lennon’s humour could be quite sarcastic and cruel when the cameras and microphones were switched off. His occasional face gurning and foot stomping between songs on stage, which mimicked those with mental/physical difficulties, known in those days as spastics, was terrible! Not fab at all!

    Great records are made by an army of people? Maybe when there was massive budgets for recording, but if you think since those budgets have shrung, no great records have been made, you're full of it. Even before that, there were a lot of great records produced on a smaller budget, with the bands or performers co-producing.

    I got a transistor radio for my first Communion in fall 1962. I was seven years old. I immediately fell in love with it and listened assiduously to the likes of Elvis, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Nat King Cole, Bobby Vinton, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, and so on. And then, less than a year later, they started playing songs by the Beatles in anticipation of their first US tour later that year. I was immediately hooked and, more importantly, I was prepared. Once they appeared on Ed Sullivan, the die was cast. But not only did I never lose touch with the music that preceded the Beatles, I immediately grasped the connection between them and their American predecessors as well as the distinct difference they represented, together with the British acts that followed. A mere three to four years later, my pubescent ears were graced with a popular music explosion the likes of which the world had never seen before and will probably never see again. I would even drift momentarily away from the Beatles, listening to new bands like the Doors, the Jefferson Airplane, Cream, and so on, but then the Fab Four would come out with another release and corrall us all back into their stable. And they all gave us hope for the future, with the Beatles leading the way. It was an extraordinary time in which to be an adolescent. It's almost as if everything else since has been a falling away from those magical moments when it seemed that music, poetry, and art could change the world for the better. Somehow, some way, the world has to get back to that place, or to a similar place. If not, we are lost.

    Fun, Fun, Fun was a great song. It was for me the ideal song to put on or hear when driving to the beach. In hindsight, I would think The Beatles were actually more punk rock friendly. As much as most who don't really know every song, they did rock rather hard or aggressively on some songs.

    Andy is so correct. Apart from the great music they were bloody funny. Look at any of their early films to plug a new single and they are always on the verge of cracking up laughing. I remember someone who worked on ‘ Pop Go The Beatles’ radio series saying they would be rolling around on the floor laughing their heads off. In the early days they were having a ball..

    This guy is an "expert" from when the Beatles first came to America, before that time, he has no idea of who the Beatles are. Just like America, in WW2. They entered the war 2 years after it started, and they became experts who knew all about war! Amazing. The world had started to change when the Beatles first came out of Liverpool, and I remember that well. It was all over the world, by then and the last to be affected by "Beatle-mania" was USA. God bless 'em.

    Think of Eagles Hotel California, Moody Blues Nights in White Satin, Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven, Rush's Xanadu, Genesis Suppers Ready, etc. There are no songs like these today. There are quality musicians who cover these old bands, but nothing new is created unless it fits the autotuned back up dancer industry quick buck standard.
