but

the Help! album is fucking brilliant. I only realised this a couple of months back and I can't take it off. Except Ringo's painful turn which should be skipped.

However, at the minute I am listening to Idlewild. LOTS of Idlewild. Go to YouTube and listen to 'The Weight of Years' and then follow it up with 'Queen of the Troubled Teens' and then browse around filling your hearts with glee.

I realise that this is off-topic but the love must be shared. Also, go to anything Woomble's done on his own (and not Uncle Bulgaria; the poor old thing died before he had the chance), and with Drever and McCusker. All superb.

I may also gaz you a link to a beautiful song which I'm not going to make public because I shouldn't, but I'd be interested in your opinion.

Help! may or may not be brilliant

I'm just pointing out that when the Spice Girls tried a similar Film/Album idea at the peak of their success, it pretty much bombed.
Elvis was the only other one to really get it right, although a few got close.

I'd more or less agree

although comparisons between a nascent industry in the 60s where pretty much everything was jammed together, from people who'd listen to the Stones and people who'd listen to the emptiest of lazy pop, and the 90s where everything was enormously fragmented, is pretty difficult.

I just wanted an excuse to declare my love for "Help!" :)
