Think of how Abbey Road finishes (tho I know LIB was released later), with 'The End', some simple but beautiful lyrics and a solo by each of them. It finishes it well, I think, in a nice way. If the last Beatles album finished with ''don't believe in Beatles'', it would leave a bad taste in my mouth. That's just me though.

I agree.

Agreed. Abbey Road ending with The End is a little upsetting for me, and that's a happy song. If it ended with "I don't believe in Beatles," I think it would be too depressing for me ...]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:07:13 +0100 fabfouremily on The Beatles Last Album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-3/#p69803 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-3/#p69803 Think of how Abbey Road finishes (tho I know LIB was released later), with 'The End', some simple but beautiful lyrics and a solo by each of them.

Some real shit has been been written and said about the effect that the beatles have had on the world, especially by pretentious arses who write the most boring dry long-word filled essays yet probably only ever listened to Pepper and possibly a greatest hits whilst hoping it would end soon so they can go back to pretending Mozart and Holtz are what they are into.

Au contraire.  It sounds searingly cool.

Maybe it's because they weren't put out that way but I can't imagine any of those songs being done by a group. A lot of them were, I imagine or know, personal to the person that did them so I don't think they would be the same if they were Beatles songs rather than Lennon's, or whatever.

Also, I agree with mja, the thought of 'God' being on a Beatles album puts shivers down my ...]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 12:50:42 +0100 mja6758 on The Beatles Last Album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-2/#p69769 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-2/#p69769 Interesting idea, but it's weird to envision any Beatles "12th" album including God, let alone being the title track. What with it's "I don't believe in Beatles" and "I just believe in me, Yoko and me" lyrics.

"The Twelfth Album" is an alternative history short story by Stephen Baxter, first published in Interzone in April 1998. It is about an imaginary twelfth album recorded by The Beatles, called God. The album features songs that were written and recorded as solo projects by the group's members in reality, but in a parallel universe where The Beatles did not split up following the release of Let It Be, resulting in these songs being recorded by the group. In the universe where it was recorded, the Earth ...]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:19:55 +0100 Dear Prudence on The Beatles Last Album http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-2/#p13020 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/the-beatles-last-album/page-2/#p13020 You HAVE to include the No-No song.

I'm not talking about Abbey Road or Let it Be.  (The debate over which of those two was really the last will never end).

I'm talking about an album that could have emerged in 1970 if the Beatles had held it together for one last effort.  So I imagined an album like the White Album, with the guys' pretty much working independently and then bringing it all together.  I kept it to a single disc (rather than a double LP.

This is stuff they all recorded at that time…I stayed away from 1971, which would have allowed me to use ...]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:55:58 +0100
