I'm Paul, kinda disappointed since George was always my favorite.

So you don't have to try so hard -- we see you standing there."

Basically hit the nail on the head. Im not sure I would ever define myself as highly social just because I suck at it, but i wish more than anything i was good at it, so yup. Good quiz.

I got this as well.

It's kind of accurate, except the "born leader" thing. My doubts and insecurities stand in the way of that lol.

I got John but yeah just like NumberNine the whole leader thing I'm not too sure about. I dodge being a leader like it's the plague

SATCHMO 09-07-2009 08:36 AM

I'm Paul, which was my guess before I even took the test.

Guybrush 09-08-2009 01:22 PM

Paul .. which suits me fine. I like Paul!

right-track 09-08-2009 01:25 PM

I hate Paul and his thumbs up, victory/peace signs. He's a twat.

I got George. Which is fine by me, even though I'm probably more like John...who was also a twat, but in a very different way.

Double X 09-08-2009 02:39 PM

John...but this quiz was painfully obvious and I knew what my result would be.

Dr.Seussicide 09-08-2009 04:58 PM

Umm, this is confusing; I got:

You're a little bit of Ringo Star

You're a little bit of Paul McCartney

You're a little bit of John Lennon

I'm Paul, but the final description is 50-50. I'm not at all hard-working, in fact I know I'm hella lazy. I'm overall more introverted than social depending on the situation. "You are quite the people-pleaser; sometimes to a fault" is 100% correct. I was hoping for Ringo, since we have the same birthday... Although, that's probably all we share.

gunnels 09-13-2009 12:14 AM

I got Lennon but I consider myself more Ringo.

Antonio 09-13-2009 12:20 AM

You're George Harrison
"You're deeply spiritual, but you also have a low tolerance for foolish behavior. Some people mistake your quiet nature for passivity, though you actually have a strong opinions on many subjects. Sometimes you prefer to just be left alone, but please sit in the sunlight for just a few hours each day -- it'll be good for you."


ok.

Ringos the outcast :(

music_phantom13 09-14-2009 07:32 AM

I too got John Lennon, and again I have to say I wouldn't consider myself a born leader. Besides that, I suppose it's pretty accurate, except that I wouldn't choose family over friends... I'm certainly as close with some of friends as I am with my family. Don't know how you could really make a choice between the two though.

Janszoon 09-15-2009 08:53 AM

I got John which is at least better than Paul I guess.

Bulldog 09-15-2009 02:09 PM

Paul McCartney for me. Close enough I suppose.

I also got half George, half Paul.

The parts that I feel are true about me are in bold below:

You're George Harrison:
You're a deeply spiritual person, but you also have a low tolerance for foolish behavior. Some people mistake your quiet nature for passivity, though you actually have strong opinions on many subjects. Sometimes you prefer to just be left alone, but please sit in the sunlight for just a few hours each day - it'll be good for you.

You're Paul McCartney:
I didn't agree with much of what was said except "You're ambitious and hard-working, and you want to be appreciated for it." I've never felt things came particularly easy for me...it always takes work. Also, I'm not a very social person (unlike Paul, apparently) in that I don't yearn for frequent contact with lots of friends. I dislike parties although I can make good small talk and apparently appear at ease and outgoing when really I'd just like to be at home, relaxed, with close family members, or by myself, typing on the computer...on MusicBanter. Hmm.

tommietippie 09-23-2009 01:00 PM

This is one of many tracks that the Beatles inspired genres with like as in Helter Skelter inspired a heavier more grittier sound.

The Beatles did make a brilliant song with this and like many people have said it didnt inspire that genre it just gave a new sound and those genres have taken it and built on it, this is why the Beatls are the Best band ever. Without them many brilliant bands wouldn't be around today.:yeah:

now that, is the most ridiculous thing ive ever read.

i cant agree with you that the beatles helped shape the likes of hardcore. i agree that they looped etc. but i still dont get how it shaped hardcore. hardcore was influenced by the acid house movement, maybe i mistook you for meaning the full electronica scene, when you really meant the other side to it, that i dont listen to much.

OK, you've got me on the drum n bass sound, but this predates it by 3 years;




...and this from 1967 should be on the list immediately after "Tomorrow Never Knows", if only for its huge influence on Fatboy Slim;



...and this, from the US, 1968;

I think the drugs and the club culture necessitated the music rather than the other way round, in which case you could argue the amphetamine-fuelled all-nighters of 60's mods and northern soul as being 'influential', it all bleeds into funk and disco... the way I see it the umbrella of electronic dance music was an American innovation that blossomed abroad, there's alot to cover and not everyone's going to agree.

As has been said you can blame disco, Kraftwerk and synth pop classics I guess.


If only there were recordings from that time - your speculation has the ring of truth about it, but TNK is the earliest (and most popular, hence single most influential) document of this sort of music... unless you know of some?

Muzik wanted to define the records that had shaped the music we love today. The music that made Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Roni Size and System F all possible. Not necessarily the best records ever, although they were hardly going to be stinkers, but the ones which pushed forward a genre, or fused styles to create a new hybrid. The qualities we were looking for were:

Effect on today’s music - Originality
Fusing of existing genres to create new musical styles Music that changed the club scene as well as the sound.

Chosen and written by Ben Turner, Frank Tope, Rob da Bank, Calvin Bush, Dorian Lynskey, Tom Mugridge and Michael Bonner The most important music of the 20th Century. The records which have shaped the music we hear today, from trance to trip hop, from big beat to Basement Jaxx. Everything starts with these...

I am really surprised that the Silver Apples are not on this list...Extremely ahead of their time in terms of originality and Kraftworks influence to name one band.


Example of them: "Oscillations" - Silver Apples (1968)

I think I'd rather dance to Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock" than "Oscillations" - or anything else the Silver Apples put out. It's interesting, from an electronica point of view, but not very funky.

The list is of acts that were influential on Dance music - and, since "Psyche Rock" formed the basis of Fatboy Slim's career, it's more of a mystery why that was left off.

There's rafts of stuff that appeared on the KPM Library label in the late 1960s/early 1970s that should be there too - practically anything by Alan Hawkshaw and his predecessor, Mick Weaver, AKA Wynder K. Frogg, Booker T and the MGs - not to mention loads of Surf music, Northern Soul, Motown etc;


1961 - The Birth of The Beat... oh, actually, that's a different track :D



1964 - Booker T;



1964 ...any excuse :D




1967 - best (and first!) cover of Sonny and Cher's original



1967 - The Frogg!



1968 - The inimitable Mr Hawkshaw



1969 - the amazing Mr Mansfield (who also recorded loads of stuff for the KPM libraries)


FETCHER. 10-01-2009 05:41 AM

i dont see how the beatles influenced these which are electronica.






im no music critic but seriously that sounds nothing like the beatles. i cant grasp the fact of the beatles influencing these songs. it just doesnt work for me.
