Did you know The Beatles used 54 different instruments on their discography?Just another rason as to why The Beatles are the best act in pop musicNo other pop act goes this further, tries so many diferent things as The Beatles did
>>123838509I feel like you fags are just baiting the boyband poster at this point.
>>123838509Bait, nobody cares about the Beatles in 2024. Even Fleetwood Mac is bigger
I'm the reverse "Beatles are a boy band" user.I will use this board to make my odes to the Beatles greatnessI'm on vacations from work, and that is what i decided to do with my free time. Hope all of us can become friends
>>12383850954 instruments, 4 members, 12 albumsthat's a little more than one instrument per person, per albumnot that much tbqh
>>123838509Can you list all 54 instruments?>I'll bet some of them were played by guest musicians, just like with The Beach Boys
>>123838509Did you know The Beatles dropped 100ml of LSD, 2.7 pounds of mushrooms, and 4.3 pounds of hash in their careers?
>>123838509>Did you know The Beatles used 54 different instruments on their discography?Do you mean.. the four guys?They had a full orchestra on A Day in the Life, I trust you're not including those.....
are any of those 54 variations on the same instruments?>a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar>a Fender Telecaster electric guitar>a Rickenbaker hollow body electric guitarand so onbecause if so, that's not impressive at all any succesful musician will have played a plethora of instruments while recording an album, even if not a skilled one
>>123838509I know. It's gimmicky as fuck and has aged horribly versus The VU,Jimi,CAN,and other who had a relatively stripped down sound. I know they were just following The Beatles lead or whatever but it works better when The Moody Blues do it because they don't just use fucking random instruments for the sake of being soorky and nothing else. I'll give them that they broke the mold.
>>123842011Sheesh, absolute rookie numbers
>>123842657Jimi had anything but a stripped down soundhis music was very well produced and layeredhe was no garage band artistas a matter of fact, the most daring psychedelic artists were the ones pushing the limits of musical production beyond the tired format of a rock ensemble, bringing in new sounds, production techniques and instruments uncommon in pop rock.who was one of the largest bands to be succesful in such an endeavor and pushing others to do so? that's right, the Beatles
>>123838509Guitar, bass, drums, piano, harmonica, sitar, mellotronWhat else am I forgetting? An entire orchestra on a day in the life? strings in Eleanor Rigby?
>>123838509>this boyband pop music is greatgay post, ever used /wpop/?
Tabla in those indian songs
Circus organ on Benefit of Mr Kite
>>123842851Get new material.
>>123842737I more meant in terms of effect and also insturmentation but you're right ig.>"as a matter of fact, the most daring psychedelic artists were the ones pushing the limits of musical production beyond the tired format of a rock ensemble, bringing in new sounds, production techniques and instruments uncommon in pop rock."Yes because Pop Rock is overall kinda retarded. I do like The Kinks though. That being said most of The Beatles experiments kinda failed and they aged in a way that was incredibly tacky compared to Hendrix or The VU.>"who was one of the largest bands to be succesful in such an endeavor and pushing others to do so? that's right, the Beatles"They were more popular so they were more influential? Is that why everybody still listens to Skrillex and Disco Music?
>>123842737If you look at music that's actually still being made The Velvet Underground,CAN,Cream,Love,Jimi Hendrix,and maybe like The Dead all had way bigger influence as did Neu!. Even The Doors did. The Beatles are ok ig but you're wildly overhyping them. Nowhere near as groundbreaking as you probably think they are.
>>123842885He's right lmao,I enjoy some 60s Flower Pop too but there was way heavier and way more influential shit. Say what you will but both Clapton and Hendrix aswell as The Pretty Things and several others had basically done Sabbath before it ever came out. Look at Punk and Metal in the late 70s too,even by then The Beatles had prettymuch past relevancy.
>>123842737>Jimi had anything but a stripped down sound>his music was very well produced and layeredOh, yeah?Then how do you explain his excellent performances at both Monterey Pop and Woodstock?There were no "Layers",live concerts aren't "Well produced"This was nothing but sheer raw energy from a man who knew his way around a fret board, and knew it well.In fact, he was only accompanied by two other musicians at Monterey, and, IMHO, these live performances are even better than anything he ever recorded in a studio, and this is coming from somebody who's favorite Jmi Hendrix song of all time is Third Stone From The Sun.
ENTER
>>123845463yeah this largely. depends on the song in terms of the studio stuff though.
>>123845473based
>>123838509In other words they were overproduced?
>>123845205>Pop Rock is overall kinda retardedsilly and overly broad statementtons of great music are pop rock, or pop rock adjacent>That being said most of The Beatles experiments kinda failed and they aged in a way that was incredibly tacky disagree>They were more popular so they were more influentialno, they were both popular and influentialTVU is a band that was influential, but not as popularThe Monkees were popular, but not influentialThe Beatles were both. They were more daring artistically than they needed to be for such a well established act. >>123845215>you're wildly overhyping themnot at all, their influence cannot be overstated, and that's a historical factThe Beatles may have not come up with a lot of stuff by themselves, but the resources and musical experiments they made opened doors for every blossoming act of their timeit was seeing the biggest and most popular band in the world doing things succesfully that gave smaller artists the confidence to push even further for themselvesmost commercial music isn't daring. The Beatles were>>123845463I was mainly reffering to his studio productionstill, his music wasn't just layered in terms of technical effectsHendrix had a profound sense of harmony that was uncommon in psych rock and blues rock at his timehe revolutionized guitar playing in rock music, because he made music far more intrincate and less straightforward than his contemporariesa lot of it is owed to studio production, but a lot of it is due to his playing and songwriting skills, which went far beyond the obvious
