Line 69:
** "I've got to admit it's getting better... A little better all the time."
** Well, "It can't get no worse."
* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: ''[[The Beatles]]: [[Rock Band]]'' didn't have that great a reception among the more hardcore [[Rhythm Game]] enthusiasts and ''[[Rock Band]]'' fans due to their belief that it was too easy. The meager song list (45 songs out of hundreds of possible songs by the band) and the inability to import the songs to another ''Rock Band'' game certainly didn't help matters.
* [[Macekre]]: An [[Urban Legends]] sprang up that the Beatles arranged for ''Yesterday... And Today'' to have the infamous "Butcher Cover" as a protest over Capitol mangling their UK albums, as noted in [[Cut and Paste Translation]] on the [[The Beatles (Music)|band page]]. Go to [http://snopes.com/music/hidden/butcher.asp the entry] at [[Snopes]] for in-depth info.
** [[Paul McCartney (Music)|Paul McCartney]] also accused Phil Spector of "ruining" the ''[[Music/Let It Be|Let It Be]]'' album. Spector was acting as the album's producer at the insistence of Allen Klein.
Line 95:
** "Revolution 9"
** "What's the New Mary Jane," a White Album outtake that was apparently shelved after George Martin decided one "experimental" track was enough.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: One of the most famous examples. John Lennon's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", thought by many to be about LSD right down to the "LSD" initialism formed by the title, was actually inspired by a drawing presented to John by his young son Julian. John asked what the picture was, Julian said "Lucy [a schoolmate] in the sky with diamonds"--presto. The lyrics and dreamy quality of the instrumental don't help the perception.
* [[Woolseyism]]: Some of the Capitol albums might be sequenced better than the corresponding EMI albums; for instance, ''Meet the Beatles'' got onto the Rolling Stone "Greatest Albums of All Time" list, while the version it "butchered", ''With the Beatles'', didn't. Many fans, including [[The Beach Boys (Music)|Brian Wilson]], think the US version of ''Rubber Soul'' is miles better than the UK version. (Capitol cut out most of the more electrified songs in favor of the acoustic pieces.)
** As noted in [[Canon Immigrant]] on [[The Beatles (Music)|the main page]], the Capitol ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (Film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' album is so superior to the British two-EP set, if only in form factor, that it has displaced the EPs in "[[Canon]]." Not only did the US album have a 12" version of the 7" British booklet, it also included the band's 1967 singles on Side 2. In England, the album version of ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (Film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' finally replaced the EPs in 1976.
