Tell Paul McCartney I'm a teenager who loves him. He's the reason I'm in a band and the reason I love music. My channel literally is the band he inspired me to create. I owe everything to you Paul.
Jeez I hope I don't sound like another crazy fangirl... Which I may or may not be.

There were The Beatles.... then there was everybody else.

Im 10 years and i love the Beatles im a big fan i have CDs and more ! ❤❤😍💕

Personally I think the album would have benefited from being trimmed down, there's enough strong material on there to have released a practically flawless record. Although I can see why the diverse nature of the album appeals to a lot of people. I saw someone comment that if they were on a desert island and could take one Beatles album with them, it would be the White Album. Which makes sense since it's probably the hardest to get bored of.

People that discredit or downplay the Beatles' importance don't understand music or culture.

There are the Beatles...then there's everyone else .greatest band in history

[amalanzari]

I took a double take when I saw Miles Kane!

[Psychiari]

Greatest album, certainly one of my favorites. Minimalist, acoustics, yet surreal. Number 9! 😉

[watever]

I'm gonna do it. And it'll be my debut album.

[satyajitrathod]

Just give me the 55 hrs footage already...no need to make a movie

[johnpaulharrison]

the Beatles by far the best and most influential band in popular music (after Ron, Dirk, Stig & Barry the one and only pre-fab four that is)

[bluepeng]

When I saw the notification, I thought they uploaded the music videos...but nope...

[elizabethpalmieri]

Just for the record The White album is my favorite.

[robdean]

Revolver, my favourite album closely with by rubber soul and peppers

[etfjxml]

No this could not happen again. This type of brilliance requires thinking…

[sergiopiresbr]

No, there are no one with enough talent today

[alexyerkey]

Bands aren’t capable of doing this these days because record companies won’t pay them to do double albums. Albums like the white album exist but you’ll never see them get huge national attention

[monkweelives]

that dude in no way addressed the question lol

[jaktek]

The question that the title of this video pondered wasn’t even asked in the video... #didletmedown

[FlamingoKicker]

Of course nobody would record anything like Revolution #9 today. Remember they could also make the most popular pop music at the same time as very bizarre stuff. You might have bands that record unlistenable weird stuff but they could never at the same time write a song that would hit the #1 spot on the charts.
