Hi everyone,
my name is Oli, I'm 35 years old, from Germany, and I'm new to this amazing site.
Like so many of you, I got introduced to the Beatles' songs at a young age, through my dad who was a huge fan.
I play and write music myself (I play guitar and sing in several bands) and I'm still amazed about their skill in songwriting. I often record Beatles songs at home just for fun, trying to get as close as possible to the original arrangements, then I give the recordings to my mom, girlfriend and assorted friends. It's some sort of ongoing educational project for myself.
A lot of people wonder how the Beatles fit into my pretty obscure musical taste and I usually reply that much of the stuff I like would not even exist without them paving the way for it.
Anyway, glad to be here 🙂

…And We’re glad you came. Just a couple of warnings:
1. We can get off topic very fast, so going with it is the preferable option.
2. It’s very common for jokes to have caused *zigs* aka spitting out their drink. Named after our noble moderator, it is tradition.
3. If you see *9* or *17*, all this means is the anti spam math equaled 9 or 17.
That’s all I think……Oh yes, you can just call me Sun King .

aaaalright… I see this forum has character
thanks for the apples, Nigel and Mith. I'm already feeling very comfortable here.
Mith, concerning my taste of music, I like bands like Shellac, Faraquet or Shipping News just to name a few. They're considered “obscure” here in Germany, although they might be more popular in the States or in Mexico, I don't know that.

It's possible. Here in Mexico we know more about European bands from all kinds of music than in other parts of the world. I think I have heard people who like Shellac.

I just realized that I never introduced myself. How rude of me!! Anyway, my name is Keri. I am 21 years old, and I live in Alabama. I am going to school to be a doctor (if I can do well on my MCAT this summer…in 2 months…oh, God , I should be studying!!!). I have been a Beatles fan since September 11, 2010, when I saw the VH1 Greatest Artists of All Time. They played the video clip from I Am The Walrus , and I loved it. I went online and (to my great shame) illegally downloaded what I thought was the song I heard, but it turned out to be Come Together . (Just to be clear, I later deleted all my illegal stuff and bought it legally.) I was clueless. However, I am one of those people who has to know everything about something I like, and I tend to get a little obsessive. It happened with The X-Files when I was 10, and then a little later, Harry Potter. It just happens. That's one reason I've never tried drugs or alcohol. Anywho, I first fell in love with John. I love his voice, his poetry, his humor, and his weird symbiotic relationship with Paul (it's the best bromance of all time, you know). I do not love his post-Beatles bitterness, and it made me take a step back from him, a little. Don't get me wrong, I still love him, but my fascination with him is a little worn. My love for Paul, however, has grown by leaps and bounds. At first, I thought anyone who liked Paul must be shallow because I read quotes from John in the 70s (in which he always contradicted himself. One minute its, “Paul is a big whiny baby who can't do anything,” then it's wearing buttons that say, “I love Paul.”) I realized I could like Paul's music without being shallow, and now I listen to it all the time. The only pop/rock albums I don't have of his in some format are Wings At The Speed Of Sound , Pipes Of Peace , and Press To Play . I have all of John's solo material, as well. Shamefully, I only have so many hours in the day to listen to music, and I have a somewhat limited budget, so I haven't been able to get into George and Ringo's solo stuff. Maybe one day.
So now you know me. Sorry I didn't do this sooner!
