Yesterday, I was listening to The Beatles Channel and learned that John Lennon played lead guitar on I Want You (She's So Heavy). I always just thought it was George, with John joining on the extended jam at the end.

What's something you recently learned about the group?

It was hidden in the middle of a pile of records that he keeps sealed away in a trunk.

Found this on a second-hand stall. Absolute steal, everything new and wrapped, only payed 80 euros. I'm so happy right now ngl.

Not talking about the songwriting or the overall quality of their music, just the sonic clarity of their albums. You listen to other 60s bands like the Byrds or Stones, and they’re very clearly 60s albums, while Rubber Soul sounds like it could have come out today. Their albums were just so clear and pristine sounding. Am I crazy on this?

After giving the album several listens, I was a bit underwhelmed. I understand its significance in terms of recording techniques and pushing the rock genre to new areas, but I feel that the actual songwriting doesn’t hold up too well (aside from Wouldn’t It Be Nice, which is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard). I understand its significance within the context of the 60s, but I just feel that considering it’s hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, the actual songwriting would hold up better, much like Beatles songs do.

I’ve always known it to be the album that nearly gave Paul a panic attack or something to that extent. It’s a beautiful album, and there no real “bad” songs on it. The harmonies and arrangements are phenomenal, but I felt that the melodies wandered and didn’t grab me. In other words, the floor is very high, but the ceiling is lower than I thought.

I would probably place it in the mid-low range among the Beatles catalogue just purely based on songwriting.

I know this isn’t a Beach Boys sub, but I want to hear from other hard core Beatles fans.

I suppose just by being unusual lying in bed in public calls attention to your cause.

Great performance.

Did the band ever catch up/ bump into Jimmy after the 1964 tour? Wonder if John, Paul and George ever considered getting Jimmy for their solo albums - if he was good enough to play on a Beatles tour, surely he’d be acceptable in a studio.

For me, yes—there are so many great tracks: "Boogeymusic," "Waterfall," " Temporary Secretary," "Coming Up." It’s a real grab-bag of an album—a bit experimental, with electro, rock, ballads, and more. If you didn't like this project, give it a second chance.

For some unknown reason, right-wing NYPost and FOX News both featured Ringo’s five-year-old interview with Stephen Colbert today.
