I don't know anyone that bought Pepper that didn't try to figure out all of the icons in the background and discuss the little trinkets everywhere.

They said it was dead during the New Wave era and it came back. They said it was dead through Grunge, Hip Hop, and the rest. Straight old style R&R may be dead (which they said in '59 too), but crafted pop songs are still around, and in fact a lot of sounds on what today is called "pop" would have been considered hard rock (at least in terms of guitar volume, distortion and feedback etc) in the past. Definitely McCartney's Big Ballad rock style (Long and Winding Road) is still around today ("Beautiful" by C Aguilera, etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-15682960267878707342009-01-16T17:40:00.000-08:002009-01-16T17:40:00.000-08:00Try to find even one song on the pop charts that h...Try to find even one song on the pop charts that has a Beatles influence?

It was around with Nirvana, Soundgarden through the 90's with Oasis, Lenny Kravitz, Fountains of Wayne through today with Coldplay, Wilco, White Stripes and any number of Indie and pop/rock bands--Death Cab for Cutie, Sno Patrol KChiefs, Redwalls and on and on. You hear their influence in a lot of singer/songwriter material and in the production values of lots of pop tunes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797176847334818133.post-88321059073845112642009-01-16T15:58:00.000-08:002009-01-16T15:58:00.000-08:00me too.

You know, when he does the stuff like *knock knock sound effect* "Oh, Bertrand...." Obviously this is a ploy to charm people, and it works. My point is, if you look at McCartney interview footage from the 70s, he doesn't do that crap. My guess is it started some time in the 80s? The McCartney featured at the end of Rotten Apple 72 ("Just a good, err, double") is a cool mf'er. I still maintain that no one ever looked as hip as The Beatles did in 1967, particularly the "Strawberry Fields Forever" video. Especially Paul. Will never be touched in coolness. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>This commenter gets it absolutely right. The 70's was like the hangover from the 60's and it was important to be perceived as "cool" or laidback if you wee a rock star. That all changed in the 80's when the laidbaack 70's rock star schtick looked tired and boring. McCartney had to compete with the likes of Wham and Lionel Ritchie so he played up his "regular guy in a sweater" image. He tried to get hip again in the early 90's by jumping on the conservation bandwagon along with everyone else (watch the slacker movie "Singles") but now since the pop charts are dominated by American Idol contestants he's back to being the warm fuddy duddy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
