The Beatles are the most creative band of all time
BACKGROUND HISTORY: The first musical bands originated in New Orleans, among musicians black, who have traditionally been the innovators. The first jazz record ever recorded was by The Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1917, and of course they were white because racism always rears its ugly head to hold black people back. But during the 20 people, Roaring white youths could not resist the dance beat laid down by the bands black jazz. Fletcher Henderson, a black man became the leader of the band first achieved national fame is possibly because Louis Armstrong on trumpet. Duke Ellington, classically trained musician, brought a level of style and sophistication to jazz that had not been seen before. It was not until 1935 that the jazz band beat a "swing" to achieve national attention due to Benny Goodman who I think was the best clarinet player ever to blow air into the instrument. Benny also had the good sense and taste to the first great drummer, Gene Krupa, into his band.
When the rock and roll exploded into human consciousness during the 1950s, musicians black, as Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Smokey Robinson pioneered the way, but a white DJ named Alan Freed is believed to have coined the term "rock and roll. "The real cornerstone and roll record was" Shake, Rattle and Roll ", written by Jesse Stone who was black and recorded by Big Joe Turner, who was also black, but was not successful. The first big hit rock and roll record was "Rock Around the Clock" written by James Meyers and Max Freeman of obvious ancestry, and that catapulted Bill Haley and his Caucasian Comets to stardom. During the 1950s and early 60s, there were countless "do wop" groups rock, singers and songwriters but until The Beatles hit the charts, there had been very few bands that are talented composers. The vast majority of rock bands and recorded jazz songs written by composers who were not artists, with some exceptions such as Duke Ellington and Buddy Holly. As time passes, it is increasingly clear that Lennon / McCartney are brilliant classics which will never be forgotten. Now here's why the Beatles are the most creative band of all time:
1. The best example CONTENT OF FORM =
As I sit here writing this on my computer keyboard facing the poster of the Beatles unique colors my room, I realize that I have been directly and indirectly inspired by the music of John Lennon, and by the way he lived his life offstage. Exactly in front of me is a full color poster all four Beatles standing in a heavenly-like flower garden at the time about the album Abbey Road. Paul is angelic in his suit pink with a white shirt with laces. John is enigmatic looking from the bottom. George is charismatic staring directly into the camera at the bottom right. Ringo is left with an elegant blue suit and shirt with pink ruffles. I always have liked to dress as boys, but obviously there's a bit of a problem with a Unlike money there. Surrounding this magnificent poster I've ever seen in my 45 other places are hit records original speed of the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Please Please Me, Twist and Shout, Can not Buy Me Love, She's A Woman, Yesterday, and of course, Hey Jude. And all around what is a string of 1-1/2 "long flickering orange lights are called the most beautiful and unique Christmas lights I've ever seen. I chose to decorate the wall directly in front of my workstation in this manner because, as I have written elsewhere on this site several times, The Beatles were my major musical influence and take into the wall in front of me inspires me to write web pages like this one. Me too was among the millions of people who were inspired by the Beatles were actually living their lives out of phase. The Beatles' music creatively stimulated millions of people to change the way they lived, and the Beatles behavior encouraged people to have fun trying new lifestyle experiences. That's what I call a perfect example of the form y = CONTENT. In this case, means that creativity and master the music of The Beatles were varied producing (form) embodied the real lifestyle each of the four Beatles were living (content) together as a band, as well as separately as unique individuals.
2. Songwriters BEST
This should be self-evident, but just because Paul McCartney has the title of the most popular composer in history, not necessarily make him the greatest composer in history. The qualities that make both Paul and John, the best composers in the history of go beyond writing the largest number of catchy classic songs. "Catchy" means that their melodies and lyrics are instantly memorable. "Classic" means that the test of time. But both Paul and John wrote very sophisticated melodies that moved beyond simple groups of 2, 4 and 8 patterned phrases used by almost all the songs of other composers. John and Paul's melodies soared, floated, cascaded, was released and peaked with the dynamic real, naturally following the syllabic letter patterns – but not always. Sometimes the melodic and lyric patterns were independent of each other, almost counterpoint in nature, and as a composer, he never ceased to amaze with his brilliance and originality. At first, his lyrics were simple and his songs were simple love songs. But soon to explore new territory by writing about subjects that were not covered before. Inspired by Bob Dylan, who wrote true poetry with feeling and depth, with evocative and unusual words. Rubber Soul marked the beginning of their evolution as mature songwriters, Revolver was a break out of the album, and Sergeant Pepper was a landmark album in terms of new and innovative compositions and production. Every song they wrote was significantly different from the last even though each song had their unmistakable sound.
Most songwriters are only average in their instruments, but John and Paul are guitarists sophisticated who were able to integrate his game to his songs and even their song structure so that the "lame" to be played as part of their catchy songs such as the choruses and verses. Blackbird and Dear Prudence are only two examples of songs that could not be written by any other songwriter because of the guitar, which is an integral part of the song structure. Similarly, Lady Madonna is the best example of a great song which derives from the unique and beautiful bass part which only Paul could have created.
Average achieving quality Songwriters catchy repeating a phrase endlessly or by beating a chorus to death. John and Paul found countless ways to be memorable without something never too repetitive. The only time I repeated something over and over for a long time was in Hey Jude, and what they chose to repeat is so beautiful that one can only wish he had never finished the song. The Beatles were my biggest musical influence and I used to think: "If I could write a single song that is so Worse good as John and Paul's song, I would be happy. "People tell me I've achieved that goal, and say it is a good example is John I live it is my sincere tribute to Sir Lennon.
3. Best singers
Even Ringo could sing when he got a little help from his friends living in the Yellow Submarine. But to say that Paul and John are two of the best singers in rock and roll is stating the obvious. The combination of John, Paul and George created the best voice the harmony of the world has ever experienced. Even their two part harmonies were unusual, catching everyone by surprise in his first hit with the fast harmony melisma the chorus of I Want To Hold Your Hand. John had an ability to place a single line of low harmony line underneath Paul's high melody in order to form a second melody which created unusual harmony effects. He did from the beginning in the verses of She Loves You. Paul and John could blast screaming rock and roll (it ie Long Tall Sally and Twist and Shout), and both can break our hearts with touching, ie, deep feeling ballads (Yesterday and Julia). There seems no end to its range emotional voice, and John even explored the heights of vocal psychedelia in songs like She Said (Revolver) and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
4. More creative PLAYERS
Paul brought a new style of play melodic bass guitar, reaching a new level of creativity on Sergeant Pepper with a level of sophistication never before heard. Many other musicians besides me recognize Paul as one of the best bass guitar players ever. George is underrated as a guitarist by people with or below average knowledge of music, media or ability, but most guitarists (including Eric Clapton) know better. George is the strength of the melody, pure and simple. It would be difficult to find a George Harrison lead which is not melodic, and each of their tracks with a strong start, a stronger middle and end well defined. In fact, that Eric is the definition of what makes a good guitar. George continually developed new guitar sounds for each Beatles song. John and Paul are also excellent guitarists and both recorded great leads as well as innovative rhythm tracks. All three of the Beatles guitarists may lack showy fireworks technical, but makes the definition of guitar mastery irrelevant by overwhelming the senses with creativity, style and pure melody. The exact same thing can be said of John and Paul's keyboard playing. Ringo as a drummer can be underestimated by the public, but it is underrated by other professional drummers. Ringo mastered the art of drum sounds. No drummer has recorded sounds so different in so many different records of resonance. Ringo invented a new style of slow drum playing, epitomized in a Day in the Life and Strawberry Fields Forever. John said many times, "Ringo has the best rhythm back in business", and the successful studio drummers understand why John was correct.
5. TOTAL CHARISMA
A good definition of charisma must include "an unusual ability to influence people and wake up "the devotion and" a personal attractiveness which enables a person to influence others. "No musical group before or after the Beatles features strongly with true charisma emanating from the whole group and separately for each member. The Beatles stunned the world with their photogenic quality, charm, personality bubbly and friendly, their cuteness and their unique style. Even before the Beatles became famous, people from Liverpool, imitating their haircuts, the way they dress, the way they behaved, and how they lived. This simple subliminal message about smoking marijuana be communicated to all the hippies that were to happen without words real never mentioned. The Beatles had a lot to lose by being explicit about this, but managed to avoid maintenance problems that are very subtle while at the same time clear enough for everyone to succeed. The Fab Four has been changing their style quickly, almost with each album cover, and soon the message became one of explicit spiritualism. After visiting India, The Beatles introduced eastern mysticism and meditation to the West for the first time through media. John's long saga with internal angst, drugs, spiritualism, politics, personal battles, and ultimately his marriage to Yoko plays like a movie everyone has to do with fascination. Paul's happy life with Linda, George's great focus on meditation, and Ringo's equanimity throughout were all perfect examples of the power, truth, and the effectiveness of true charisma.
6. SEXUAL AURA
Do I have to say? Ask the millions of girls who were screaming and fainting at the very sight of them. "The Boys" would not move like Elvis or dance like Mick, who stood there shaking their "mop top" around his head, smiling, laughing and looking great, and performing great music and that was it. In his first visit to America, some enterprising weirdo from New York managed to cut the hotel bed sheets The Beatles slept into 1 "square, and these things were actually sold to girls over the airwaves adult audience by DJ's in the AM radio stations should have known better. The Beatles phenomenon went far beyond rock and sex, Roll Star that he had seen before. Teenage girls in uncountable numbers fell in love, their hearts to be trapped, their heart strings to be continually plucked, and ultimately, their hearts to be broken by the unattainable object of his love. Worshiping a star from afar? Infatuation? Obsession? No true love? For many, was his first experience feeling love for a man / child. Whatever it was, was very real for all, and we all soon realized that the Beatles were real.
That's why I call The Beatles the most creative band of all time. They were The Real Thing. The Zenith Creative. The highest point on the bell curve musical history.
