Thanks, will do!

All three of those songs are McCartney songs.

How about looking at the 200 #1 hits?

What’s that song, Per?

I believed it when someone told me all the signs pointing to the fact that he was dead. Then snack time was over and we got out the crayons.

Well that might explain all the crappy songs “Paul” put out post-Beatles. After all, could the same Paul McCartney who wrote songs like “I’m Looking Through You” and “Michelle” for the Beatles possibly attach his name to tripe such as “Silly Love Songs” and “Ebony and Ivory”?

I do agree with you on Lennon. Not to sound gushy but his “Across the Universe’’ helped me come to terms with my mothers death. I’d have to say though McCartney was a musical genius in his own right. Musically, that is.

>>> this band defined modern music

That would be referring to the Go-Gos of course.

200?

Googled and found this: "The Beatles actually had 27 songs that made it to the number one spot on the American Charts.... they have a cd out called 1, which is all of the songs that made it to the top spot....."

OTOH, if you're referring to Lennon's #1 hits in his post-Beatles days, I believe he got one #1 hit song that he co-sang with Elton John, and then a solo song from his last album that went to #1 after the news of his death.

Perhaps you were speaking metaphorically, as in "a gazillion #1 hits".

No way. That would be referring to Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids, of course.

I dare you to name any other rock & roll band that yodeled! Go on, I'm waiting.

LOL!

I should probably qualify that "yodeling" comment with a pointer to this song of theirs that my dorm roommate played all the time in '72-73. He'd seen them playing in a bar in Ft. Collins, bought their album, and played this one song at high decibels over & over. Until just now I hadn't heard it in over 35 years, but it's still burned into my memory banks.

pfffpt

Hard-rocker John Denver yodeled in “Calypso”, his love letter to Jacques Cousteau.

But the Go-Gos had the beat they had the beat they had the beat, ensuring their spot at the pinnacle of modern music.

But as I recall, they were an instrumental-only band (because their lips were sealed).
