Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: BEATLES Title: BEATLES 1 Street Release Date: 11/14/2000 Domestic Genre: ROCK/POP
Amazon.com essential recording: Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One have released this single-disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though obviously superfluous to the faithful (who may also find themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and "Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous (nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s. But beyond being a mere trophy case of commercial success (and it won't be hard to find critics who'll argue that these singles aren't even the band's best work), it's also a Cliff's Notes take on a remarkable seven-year run of musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin Pan Alley, gospel, country, and classical that still defies efforts to effectively deconstruct it. This is the pop monument equivalent of the '27 Yankees and '90s Bulls; it's every bit as obvious and dominating--and just as essential. --Jerry McCulley

Rating: - The beatle' s have stood the test of time
This review is written by Mr. Bradberry's students:
The beatles' number one hits was a great album that they have put out. I think it was a great compilation of there hits. They put it together and had it sold in stores and they had there fan base grow 10 fold. But some of there songs that are on the album should not be on there and they also could have made it into a two disc set. The songs may be scatterd into many of there Cd's but they all came together in one great compilation and as you all can tell i give a five out of five.
If fans truly love the beatles they should buy this cd, and be prepared for a revival of beatlemania. unlike today's boy band the beatles actually wrote their music.
This cd gives the new generation a chance to experience the beatles.
the bands now a days have less origionalty then the beatles becasue some bands read from a script.
Rating: - For My Girlfriend.
There has long been a myth in popular culture that you are either an Elvis person or a Beatles person. Well, barring the fact that this notion ignores a number of incredible artists who have not much in common with either entity, it seems to be more or less true, at least in our particular case. I am an Elvis man at heart; always have been. To me, he was the absolute pinnacle. His records opened up a whole musical world to me: everything from rockabilly, to bluegrass, to straight country, to balls-out rock & roll, to opera, to pop crooning, to blues, to soul, to dixieland jazz, to gospel, to folk music, to romantic ballads, and beyond.
Well, the way I feel about Elvis, my girlfriend feels about the Beatles. To her, they are the bedrock, the very foundation, of everything that has come about in popular music over the last 40 years or so. Sometimes, we have our playful arguments over who's better, but deep down, I must admit she has a very valid point. So for her, I am going to humble myself in public (or semi-public, anyway) and say she is....right. Mostly.
Oh, that hurt.
Anyway, I willingly give credit where credit is due, and the Beatles deserve a heck of a lot of credit. For their innovations in recording techniques alone, they deserve all the praise in the world. As for their songwriting chops, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said by Beatlemaniacs the world over. It's top-notch (at least after 1965 or so) and they have an undeniable musicality to them that usually manages to sway even the most jaded of listeners, myself included. John Lennon & Paul McCartney are justifiably legendary lyricists (although, from an outsider's point of view, I think they're held in a bit too high esteem in comparison to the rest of the band; my girlfriend's favorite Beatle is Ringo for whatever reason, and insofar as I have a favorite, it's George). What's really great about the Beatles' songwriting is that their songs are quite flexible, and can be covered in any number of ways by a range of artists from, yes, Elvis (did great things with "Get Back" in his stage shows, but the less said about his cover of "Hey Jude", the better) and Johnny Cash (with his elegiac take on "In My Life") to Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles (with soulful re-interpretations of "Eleanor Rigby"). Even Frank Sinatra got in on the act with his rendition of "Something", which, just to prove how in touch he was, he claimed was his "favorite Lennon-McCartney song" (d'oh!).
The Beatles, while certainly taking a cue from Elvis, ... Read More
Rating: - Covering All The Main Beatles songs
The Beatles 1 is a one CD collection spanning The Beatles entire carerr on 27 tracks, all the songs on here were singles and all went too number one at one time. A pretty good collection good for anyone starting out on the beatles but i dont think it covers all the good beatles songs. For instance there is no songs from Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club band it is missing a lot of songs but still its pretty good
Rating: - The Beatles: 1
Well, this album definetely left an imprint on me the after listening to it the first time. I am only fourteen, so, like another reviewer said, I am a new age Beatles fan. But there's nothing wrong with that, right? Right. These four men ultimetely changed music forever. Paul, George, John, and Ringo have changed the face of the planet as we know it.
My personal favorite tracks are 1-19, but the other eight are also just as great! I personally like "Ticket To Ride" the best, at the moment. Whenever I hear that opening guitar, it always puts a smile on my face! Heck, whenever I hear a Beatles song, I always have to sing along. They were SO GREAT!!! Buy this album. You won't be sorry!!

Way below average band, that makes corny music. Arn't they all dead now anyway?? Or close to it??? Most of their fans are gone too. So who cares about their music anyway.
