Fascinating fact for you. John Lennon was a Beatle.

Fascinating fact for you. John Lennon was a Beatle.

When John Winston Lennon awoke one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.

 

[Jam The Man]

Paul McCartney’s quoted favourite (if not the best) cover of a Beatles song was Michael Jackson’s version of ‘Come Together’

Ooh Errrrh!?

 

[Jam The Man]

Ooh Errrrh!?

As covers go, there are far worse!

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

I performed his 'She Loves You' a while ago - solo with a rag doll but I was a poor ventriloquist, I would have done better with someone else for the other role:

This is one of the best from my 'The Stars Sing Lennon & McCartney' LP:

Bollocks to this. The beatles were only remotely good when on drugs. Anyone disagreeing is a poof.

My Mum introduced me recently to Keely Smith who did a whole cover album of the Beatles. It’s pretty good. Reminds her of meeting my Dad apparently, when they used to ‘smooch’ (not a word used much today!) along to her songs. Bless

That was Gregor Samsa, or was it Boab Coyle?

Personally, I would put Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Eagles as the most overrated bands in history. Each to his own.

For "most overrated band in the history of music" read "I don't like them"

I don't like Queen so they are overrated by anyone who rates them. A lot of people like them so they are very overrated. The Beatles are one of the most liked bands in the history of music so if you don't like them they are also the one of the most overrated.

I think they are fantastic so feel that they are underrated by those that don't.

Don't come around here with your even handed ideas.

Very much worth the wait for Prince at the end...

Brilliant, but a bit of a show off compared to the rest of the band. Who was the guy playing lead before Prince took over?
