Beatles For Sale was written after the Beatles have done so many things so they sound just so tired. Even though they are so tired they it is still an amazing album. Like the song Eight Days A Week and Hard Days Night those songs are still just great songs. These songs even talk about how tired they are.

This song Hard Days Night is the first song ever to do a fade in into the intro of the song. I think that it works pretty well for this song I actually really like the intro to this song I love the notes of the intro it works really well for the song. 
The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Beatles which one do you prefer? Personally I defiantly prefer The Beatles over all of them because they are not only have the perfect mix of people, but they have some of the best song writers. My second pick from them would have to be The Who because they always have an upbeat tune and they also have some good singers, but they mostly did covers. Lastly I would pick The Rolling Stones because to me nothing really sticks out to me. Plus i don't like McJagger voice is just kind of raspy and is just drowned out by the band.
I really like the song Angel eyes if you like country music I think you would like this song. I think that it is a good song because they have good voices and harmonize very well. I also think that the band is great because the drums and the guitar mesh well together. The song is really catchy once I herd this song once I listened to it for about an hour straight.

The Rolling Stones... they are personally not my favorite but they aren't bad. I think the band is pretty good just Mick Jagger to me doesn't have anything special in his voice that makes him stick out. I also don't really like about them is that they didn't have very many originals on their first album. And if I had to choose between the Beatles and The Rolling Stones I would defiantly pick the Beatles any day.
I actually think that I like Bob Dylan I don't think he is that bad. I have been listening to some of his songs.I like the song Blowin' in the Wind because I like the kind of twang sound in his voice. I also like the use of the harmonica in this song.

Most people don't really like country but I love listening to country. I think that most country singers have great voices and I also like the beat of all the country songs. I also like country because I think that the songs tell a story and you can follow the story easily.

The Beatles are great not only were they good song writers they were great performers! In some of their performances they only had one microphone and had to harmonize by standing differnent distances from the microphone.

I think that Paul McCartney was the best beatle! I think he is the most talented because not only did he have a great voice and could play guitar he was also one of the best song writers.

Its kind of hear his voice but you can tell that he was not only good in the soundtrack but that he was good live too.

I love the Beatles there first album is not my favorite of theirs but its still amazing. I like how they write their own songs and don't just have people write the songs for them. I almost think that the songs that they wrote themselves are way better then the ones they covered for people. I also like how they recorded the whole album in one day.

I love Bon Ivers song Skinny Love. I think it is a great song because I think he has a great voice and and love the lyrics.
"I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced 
and I told you to be kind"


I really like Bon Ivers version of Skinny Love I definitely think it is the best, but I think that Birdy does a great cover on this song. I like how her cover is really slowed down and piano based.

All of Chuck Berry's songs have the best opening and I think it's weird to think that so many artists have used it from him. Also that everyone had hits on their covers of his songs.
Isn't it weird to think that all singers back then actually had real live talent... now its mostly auto tuned.
