What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
So many to choose from... Lennon's Imagine and most of the Beatles for starters.
Yes!!!! I never cared for them too much.
I never cared for them either. But in retrospect, they were actually outstanding lyricists and musicians, but their voices were odd, nasally and bland with their Liverpool accents, making it unenjoyable for me to listen to them.
BUT! Years ago, (2008?) on season 7 of the American Idol singing show, they did a few weeks where the top finalists had to sing various Beatles' songs.
Suddenly, hearing those songs sung by a beautiful female or male voice with instrumentals behind them completely changed my mind! The songs were wonderful and quite emotional when someone else was singing them, and suddenly I understood.
Who knew! Here's one of them. Makes the hair stand up on my arms:
