I titally agree with the no Stairway rule!! As you can see i put example!

[Geir]

If you have any ideas for one that would sound good mandolin style let me know Geir.

there's always "Sofa #1" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to hear that one on a mando Dave !!!

COOOL!!! (Beatles-Fest - I have got that right, haven't I? I've skim read this very quickly)

I have an unfinished "Yesterday" on my BR1600 that has been "blocking" all further creativity for ages!! 

I was doing it for Plugged-In fest, but missed the boat and then got bogged down in the rhythm track...

I haven't switched on my BR1600 since I retired in disorder from the mess I left this track in...

BUT!!! If it's a Beatles-fest, let's see, ummm... "Yesterday"... HEY! That's a Beatles song!!

Excellent news folks. (I'll probably find it's complete sh1t when I listen to it! )

Lennon and McCartney wrote quite a few songs for other artists. See these pages:

I've always liked Peter & Gordon's "A World Without Love" and Billy J Kramer's "From a Window". I'd love to hear a cover of these or any of the others for BeatlesFest.

Here are some more good sources of Beatles songs, including solo work and songs written for others:

Cor, blimey Guvnor!! 
   I've had trouble keepin' up with all the posts for the BeatlesFest.... I apologise now if I ain't commented on your post, but as 64 sez.....keep 'em comin'...
      It ain't no secret that this band they call the Beatles is a particular favourite of mine (I was raised on 'em, amongst others), and old henwrench thinks it's plain to see... The Beatles are the best band in the world now and then....

It would be nice if we could manage to complete one or more Beatles albums, so I've been keeping track of what's done and what's needed. Here's the current ranking based on the number of songs needed to complete the album:

                                                                Needed
Rubber Soul (1965)                              10/14   71.4 %     4
Abbey Road (1969)                               12/17   70.6 %     5
A Hard Day's Night (1964)                        7/13   53.8 %     6
Past Masters - Volume Two                        8/15   53.3 %     7
Magical Mystery Tour                             4/11   36.4 %     7
Help! (1965)                                     6/14   42.9 %     8
Revolver (1966)                                  6/14   42.9 %     8
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)     5/13   38.5 %     8
Let It Be (1970)                                 3/12   25.0 %     9
Please Please Me (1963)                          4/14   28.6 %    10
Beatles for Sale (1964)                          2/14   14.3 %    12
Yellow Submarine (1969)                          1/13    7.7 %    12
Past Masters - Volume One                        5/18   27.8 %    13
With The Beatles (1963)                          1/14    7.1 %    13
The Beatles (aka the White Album) (1968)        15/30   50.0 %    15



So, Rubber Soul stands the best chance of being completed. Here's what's needed:

Side 1:
  5. "Think for Yourself"
  7. "Michelle"

Side 2
  1. "What Goes On"
  5. "Wait"


The next closest to completion is Abbey Road, which needs:

Side 1:
  3. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
  4. "Oh! Darling"
  5. "Octopus's Garden"
  6. "I Want You (She's So Heavy)"

Side 2:
  2. "Because"


What do you think? Can we manage to finish an album?

[Gnasty]

Well i think we will be doing another from Abbey Road. I won`t say which but

I am absolutely surprised that noone has done Octopus`s Garden

[cuthbert]

Hmmm...a couple of those 'Rubber Soul' remaining tracks look tempting.
