I haven't actually listened to this cd but I have a beatles album that came out in 2009 called Past Masters and it has all of their singles that weren't released on any of their regular albums, and it's AWESOOOOOØOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! But I just wanted to write this review of this beatles albums because I'm telling you, Common Sense Media..... PLEASE REVIEW OTHER BEATLES ALBUMS!!!!! I want to see what you think of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and maybe Rubber Soul or Revolver or Please Please Me od With The Beatles or Beatles For Sale or A Hard Day's Night or Help! or Magical Mystery Tour or the White Album or Yellow Submarine or Abbey Road or even Let It Be. PLEASE DO THIS, COMMON SENSE MEDIA!!!!
The Beatles are my farvorite band. I hate all of this modern no talent stuff. This is the collection of their 27 greatest hits and is definatly worth buying
Well it's the Beatles. They are a great band. This CD has most of their hits (with the definite exception of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds). I would say that you will have a lot of fun here but the fun changes gradually to more meaningful songs (still fun songs though). Pretty good compilation, eh?
I am a completely huge Beatles fan after buying this CD a few months ago. It's great and really fun to listen to. There are a few sort of references in a song or two, but they're very vague and in order to even pick up on it you have to either be a fan and know the Beatles story, and meanings behind some of the lyrics, or be old enough to know what some things are. Like in the song Day Tripper, they use the reference, "One night stand."
I think that this CD is completely appropriate for people of all ages to enjoy. :)
We listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks greatest hits cd, and my 3yo son started singing "She loves you" and "Please, please me"... the 2 beatle songs on the chipmunk cd.
So I brought this beatle cd for him to listen to, and really, he can be overtired and melting down, I flip to the beatles and he quites down.
He always, always says, this is the beatles (to whatever song we're listening to) and then the next one is the crickets, and the next one grasshoppers. He has no concept of what "The Beatles" are/were... but this music is ageless.
And I'm delighted to listen to some music that isn't targeted to a 3yo... like Rafi (which he loves) or Laurie Berkner (who he also loves).
