BACKGROUND HISTORY: The first bands of music originating in New Orleans among black musicians who have always been innovators. The first jazz album recorded by The Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1917, and of course they were white because racism always rises its ugly head to hold black people back. But during the 20's, Roaring white youth could not resist the dance beat laid down by the black jazz bands. Fletcher Henderson, a black man became the leader of the group before any achieve national fame, perhaps because he featured Louis Armstrong on trumpet. Duke Ellington, a classically trained musician, has a level of style and sophistication of jazz that had not been seen before. But it was not until 1935 that jazz bands with a beat swing achieved national attention due to Benny Goodman who I think was the best clarinet player ever to blow into the instrument. Benny also had the good sense and taste to the first great drummer, Gene Krupa, into his band.
When rock and roll exploded into human consciousness in the early 1950s, black musicians like Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Smokey Robinson pioneered the way, but a white DJ named Alan Freed is believed to have invented The term "rock and roll." The first real rock role and the recording was "Shake, Rattle and Roll", written by Jesse Stone who was black and recorded by Big Joe Turner who was also black, but it was not a success. The first successful rock and roll record was "Rock Around the Clock" written by James Meyers and Max Freeman of obvious ancestry, and it catapulted Bill Haley and his Caucasian Comets to stardom. During the 1950s and early '60s, there were countless "do wop" groups, rock bands, singers and songwriters but until The Beatles topped the charts, it There were very few bands which contained talented songwriters. The vast majority of jazz and rock recorded songs written by composers who are not performers, with some exceptions such as Duke Ellington and Buddy Holly. As time passes, it is increasingly clear that Lennon / McCartney songs are brilliant classics which will never be forgotten. Now, here's why The Beatles are the group most creative of all time:
1. BEST EXAMPLE OF CONTENT =
As I sit here writing this on the keyboard of my computer facing the unique and colorful Beatles poster in my room, I realize that I was directly and indirectly inspired by the music of John Lennon and by the way he lived his life offstage. Squarely in front of me is a color poster of all four Beatles standing in a heavenly garden as the flowers at about the time the album Abbey Road. Paul is angelic in his pink suit with a white shirt trimmed. John is enigmatic peering out against the background. George is charismatic look directly at the camera from the bottom right. Ringo is on the left with an elegant blue suit and pink shirt crumpled. I always liked to dress like these guys but obviously there is a small problem with a differential of money. Around this beautiful displays I've never seen elsewhere are my 45 speed original hit records by the Beatles, including I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Please Me Please, Twist and Shout, Can not Buy Me Love, She's A Woman, Yesterday, and of course, Hey Jude. And surrounding all that is a string of 1-1/2 "long fire flame orange flashing lights which are the most beautiful and unique Christmas I've ever seen. I chose to decorate the wall opposite my job this way because, as I wrote elsewhere on this site several times, the Beatles were my major musical influence and having them on the wall in front of me lead me to write web pages like this one. I was also among the millions of people who were inspired by the way the Beatles were actually living their lives offstage. La musique des Beatles de manière créative stimulé des millions de gens à changer la façon dont ils vivaient, et le comportement Beatles encouragé les gens à avoir du plaisir en essayant de nouvelles expériences de style de vie. That's what I call a perfect example of the form = CONTENT. In this case, this means that creativity and master of music varied The Beatles were producing (form) embodied the style of real life that each of the four Beatles were living (content), and as a band, and separately as unique individuals.
2. BEST SONGWRITERS
This should be obvious, but just because Paul McCartney has the title of the songwriter's most popular history does not necessarily make the best songwriter in history. The qualities that make Paul and Jean-songwriters in history rather go beyond writing the greatest number of catchy classic songs. "Catchy" means that their melodies and lyrics are instantly memorable. "Classic" means that they stand the test of time. But both Paul and John wrote very sophisticated melodies that moved beyond the simple groups of 2, 4 and 8 patterned phrases used by almost all other authors. Jean-Paul and the melodies soared, floated, cascaded, dived and peaked with true dynamics, naturally following the syllabic lyric patterns – but not always. Sometimes the melodic and lyric patterns were independent of each other, counterpoint, almost by nature, and as a songwriter, they never ceased to amaze me with their brilliance and originality. At first, their words are simple and their songs were simple love songs. But they soon began to explore new territory by writing about subjects that were not covered before. Inspired by Bob Dylan, they wrote true poetry with feeling and depth, using evocative words and unusual. Rubber Soul marked the beginning of their evolution as songwriters mature, Revolver was a break-out album, and Sergeant Pepper album is a milestone in terms of songwriting and new and innovative production. All the songs they wrote was significantly different from the last song even though each had their unique sound.
Most songwriters are only average players on their instruments, but John and Paul are both sophisticated guitarists who were able to integrate their playing into their songs and even into their song structure so that the "licks" They played became as catchy a part of their songs as the choruses and verses. Blackbird and Dear Prudence are only two examples of songs that could not be written by any other composer because of guitar playing which forms part of the structure of the piece. Similarly, Lady Madonna is the best example of a beautiful song that flows from this unique and beautiful bass that Paul is only likely to be created.
Average songwriters reach the catchy quality by repeating a phrase endlessly or by beating a chorus to death. John and Paul found countless ways to be something memorable and never repeat too often. The only time they repeated something over and over again for a long time was in Hey Jude, and what they chose to repeat is so gorgeous that one can only wish they had never ended song. The Beatles were my biggest musical influence and I used to think: "If I could write one song that is as good as John and Paul's worst song, I'd be happy." People tell me that I accomplished this goal and they say one good example is John is Alive is my tribute to Sir Lennon.
3. BEST SINGERS
Even Ringo could sing when he got a little help from his friends who lived in the yellow submarine. But to say that Paul and John are two of the best singers in rock and roll is to state the obvious. Combining John, Paul and George created the best harmony vocals the world has ever known. Even their two harmonies were unusual, catching us all by surprise on their hit record first with the fast harmony melisma in the chorus of I Want to Hold Your Hand. John had the gift of placing a single line low harmony line underneath Paul's high melody to form a second melody which created unusual harmony effects. He has that right from the beginning in the verses of She Loves You. Paul and John could furnaces screaming rock and roll (ie Long Tall Sally and Twist and Shout), and both could break our hearts with touching, deep feeling ballads (ie Yesterday and Julia). There seems no end to their emotional vocal range, and John even explored the heights of vocal psychedelia in songs like She Said (Revolver) and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.
4. Most players CREATIVE
Paul introduces a new style of play melodic bass guitar, reaching a new high of creativity on Sergeant Pepper with a level of sophistication never heard before. Of many other musicians besides me recognized Paul as one of the best bass guitar ever. George is underrated as a guitarist by people with average or below the musical knowledge or ability on average, but most guitarists (including Eric Clapton) know better. The strength of George's in the melody, pure and simple. It would be difficult to find a George Harrison lead which is not melodic, and each of its leads to a strong start and a more solid and well defined end. In fact, it's Eric's definition of what makes a good lead 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. The three Beatles guitarists may lack showy technical fireworks but they make the definition of the guitar mastery irrelevant by overwhelming the senses with creativity, style and pure melody. Exactly the same can be said about John and playing the keyboard of Paul. Ringo may be underestimated as a drummer for the public but it is not underrated by other professional drummers. Ringo mastered the art of drum sounds. No drummer has ever recorded so many different sounds on so many different sound recordings. Ringo invented a new style of drumming low, as shown in a typical day in the Life and Strawberry Fields Forever. John has said many times, "Ringo has the best position to push back in business" and the successful studio drummers understand why John was correct.
5. TOTAL CHARISMA
A good definition of charisma needs to include "an unusual ability to influence people and encourage 'devotion and" a personal attractiveness which enables a person to influence others. " No band before or after the Beatles features true charisma emanating strongly from the whole group and separately for each member. The Beatles stunned the world with their photogenic quality, their charm, their bubbling and lovable personalities, their cuteness and their unique style. Even before the Beatles achieved fame, people in Liverpool were imitating their haircuts, their manner of dress, how they behaved and how they lived. Such a simple subliminal message about marijuana use was communicated to all the hippies who were waiting to happen without actual words were never spoken. The Beatles had a lot to lose by being explicit on this subject, but they successfully avoided trouble by keeping it very subtle, but clear enough for even as we've all got. The Fab Four kept changing their styles 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 by the mass media. Long Saga of John with internal anguish, drugs, spiritualism, politics, personal battles, and ultimately his marriage to Yoko played like a movie in the world got to watch in fascination. Happy life with Linda Paul's, Great George's emphasis on meditation and serenity throughout Ringo were perfect examples of the power, truth and effectiveness of true charisma.
6. SEXUAL AURA
Do I need to say? Ask the millions of girls screaming and fainting at the mere sight of them. "The Boys" does not move like Elvis or dance like Mick, he stood there shaking their "mop top" heads around, smiling, laughing and looking beautiful, as they played good music and c ' is everything. On their first visit to America, some enterprising weirdo from New York has managed to cut the sheets of the hotel The Beatles had slept on into 1 "square pieces, and these things were actually sold to girls over public airwaves by adult DJ's on the AM radio stations Who Should Have Known Better. The Beatles phenomenon went way beyond the rock and the status of sex Roll Star, which had been seen before. girls in countless fallen in love, hearts to be trapped, the strings of their heart to be continually plucked, and ultimately their heart to be broken by the inaccessible object of their love. Worshiping a star from afar? craze? Obsession? Not true love? For many of them it was their first experience feeling love for a man / boy. Whatever it was, it is very real for each of them, and we all soon realized that the Beatles were The Real Thing.
Therefore, I call the Beatles the most creative band of all time. They were The Real Thing. The Creative Zenith. The culmination of the bell curve of musical history.
