What album do you play over the holidays?


For me it will always be Beatles White Album because my friend got it, along with a Hot Wheels race track set up for Christmas 1968 when we were in 6th grade and then in the first week of January 1969, Boston got hit by a major snow storm that gave us another week off of snow days so we listened and listened to that album over and over.

Okay, your turn...

where one draws their inspiration from is (key) I think. However (we) chose to dissect (this) inspiration is of no consequence as far as how a particular song is perceived by the masses.

Surely, John drew great inspiration from his wife. (I think that was a key to his later success after the Beatles).

Have you ever heard an isolation of Paul's wife's vocals in WINGS? I could not imagine Paul putting Linda in a record. Her voice is not at all musical in any form. May she rest.
Eccentric, crazy?, etc.... There must be some basic aspects of song writers/musicians/performers that drive them and differentiate them from a normal human being.

I think it IS these differences that make their songs speak to us "earthlings"?

I was listening to "Double Fantasy" recently and thought that even though Yoko's voice can be irritating, she did have a basic vocal instinct of musical timing. Whoever...John?, put those songs to music... I found it pretty enjoyable. It was like early Blondie.?
